Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Leiden has fine museums, well preserved 17h/18th century inner city, canals, and many old Dutch towns ( e.g. Amsterdam 30 minutes by train), The Hague (20 minutes) , Haarlem (30 minutes) are all within easy reach, as is the beach (40 minutes cycling). Cycling trips around Leiden show the high skies and the waterways everywhere.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our house will be clean on your arrival and it will be tidy enough. This means that there will be books on every storey, or piano books, traces of our children when they were young, and things We guess that to some it will not appear 'tidy'. It shows, however, that people are actually reading and living here. All machines (dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, espresso machine, etc) are modern and in good shape. We expect that people to find everything back how we left it. Quiet children are allowed (we have two children's bedrooms), on the third floor (ground floor counting as first floor).
