About this property

Beautiful apartment of two floors beautifully situated in the center of Leiden. 2 bedrooms, full kitchen and a large bathroom. Perfectly located in the heart of the city, at the end of the shopping street. All terraces, shops, restaurants and theaters are within walking distance. A dream apartment!

The open kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and combi microwave. On this floor there is also a separate toilet and laundry room with washing machine and dryer.
On the second floor, which has just been fitted with completely new carpet, there are two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a comfortable box spring and an antique wardrobe. In the second bedroom there are two single beds. The bathroom has a shower and a wonderful bath to recover from a pleasant day in Leiden. This bathroom has no toilet. The location could not be better: in the middle of the old town, surrounded by dozens of restaurants, cafes and terraces. You do not need a taxi, because the entire center is within walking distance. Welcome to this top apartment in this beautiful city!


The entire apartment is at the guest's disposal.

In principle I am only there when checking in and when checking out. But if there is anything, I can always be reached!

This is a fabulous property in the lovely town of Leiden. The owner was very helpful and communicative which added to the experience. Only comments would be it’s worth noting there is a spiral staircase to access the property - lots of character but tricky to navigate big cases plus it’s on a Main Street - quietens down in the later evening but quite lively early on - overall thoroughly recommended

Beautiful home in an excellent location. Paid off-site parking nearby. Having the host present to check in and out was unusual for a VRBO stay and took some of the freedom/flexibility out of our travel leading up to our arrival.

A very enjoyable stay

The accommodation is in a great location within the delightful town of Leiden with easy transport access to Amsterdam, Delft and Kerkenhof and beyond. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and provided information as and when we needed it and respected our privacy. The apartment is well equipped, spacious, warm and comfortable.The two spiral staircases and toilet on the floor below the bedrooms was not ideal for us being older in our 70's and one with a dodgy knee but we managed. The accommodation description had been very clear about this and so it had been our choice.I did send a message via vrbo to the hosts to suggest bed heads for the single bedded room as the top of the beds do not butt up against a wall and my pillow kept falling off but I'm not sure if they received it.Altogether a very enjoyable stay of six nights.

Great central location

A comfortable, clean and well stocked apartment in a fantastic location. It easily accommodated our family of 5 and we loved the convenience of being right on the centre. The owners were really helpful and easy to deal with. Would definately stay there again.

Location and overall set up was fantastic. We were able to walk most everywhere we wanted to go in Leiden.The suite could use some extra blankets, face cloths, and information about the neighbourhood and Leiden (map, interact locations, bike rentals, how to use the TV). The spiral stairs leading to the second floor are in need of repair or replacement as the handrail is so close to the wall that it's unusable. Overall, we loved our stay.

Pleasantly Surprised

We loved the location! The property owners, Sabine & Martin communicated well and were very friendly. The apartment itself was modern but allowed the history to shine through. It was clean, bright and spacious. Very comfortable beds that made for a great night sleep each evening. All the amenities provided made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely stay again. Didn’t want to leave.

The apartment was exactly as described. The rooms were very large and the beds were comfortable. The laundry was a perfect touch as we didn't have to pack too much. Sabine is very friendly and responds quickly. The large bathtub was fantastic to have after a long day exploring the town.

Fantastic location, immaculate spacious apartment

This place is a gem! Perfect location, 20 min walk to the Saturday Market in the heart of the centre. 5 min walk to a cheap parking garage (16 euro / 24 hours). The apt is in the first and second floor. Immaculate and it has all you need. Sabine was very punctual, welcoming and helpful. All in all myself and my friends had a good stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Convenient Apartment

Well located for walking and getting around. Facing the street, it was a little noisy and having the toilet on a different floor from the bedroom was somewhat inconvenient.

Spacious apartment, centrally located, but a bit dated.

The apartment is centrally located making it easy to explore this town on foot. Lots of restaurant and shopping options just across the street. A grocery store just around the corner. The apartment was spacious and and had everything we needed (coffee, plenty of towels, emergency toiletries etc). The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Although the apartment is older than the photos make it look. The bathroom could benefit from some upgrades - the lighting is quite dim and the shower curb is too low to avoid water all over the floor. But overall, we have enjoyed our stay! (Not part of the review, but one more things future travelers might want to consider - it's a university town and the apartment is located on one of the shopping streets. It was pretty loud on the weekend and made it quite challenging to sleep with the windows open)

Lovely bright space in centre of city

Wonderful stay in Leiden at Sabine’s place. When we first arrived, we thought it needed some warming touches to make it more ‘gezellig’ but the bright big windows that let in the afternoon sun, the beautiful furniture pieces, the roomy bedrooms, all quietly won us over. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. It was quiet at night - no noise from neighbours. Very good coffee and a coffee maker were there and were appreciated! A good grocery store was just around the corner, and lots of stores just down the pedestrian-only street that the apartment is on. We rented bikes from the rental place a block away and thoroughly enjoyed our days in this beautiful city. Sabine was there at checkin and a gracious host. Thank you for sharing your space with us! This was our favourite stop on our trip!

Perfect Location and Spacious Apartment

Sabine was the perfect hostess! She accommodated our early arrival by letting us drop our luggage off and even arrive early. Sabine walked us in detail through everything and the town of Leiden itself. The apartment is in an excellent location to really see and do all that Leiden has to offer (which is a lot). We fell in love with the town and the apartment and would absolutely come back and stay again. 3 of us stayed and there was more than enough space. For Europe it was quite large. Miss it already!!!

Nice location, needs updating

Great location in center of Leiden, close to stores including an Albert Heijn. Apartment needs updating, definitely on shower and lighting. Dishwasher does not work well and leaves cups and silverware dirty (had to wash all by hand on arrival). Short turn around time requires the leaving guest to start the laundry of towels and throw out all garbage.

Home away from home

This apartment has old world charm that grew on me, and by the end of my 5 night stay, I was quite thinking of it as my home and it was a bit difficult to leave. But first I had to get over the fact that it is not nearly as glamorous as it appears in the pictures. In fact, it has a rental apartment feel to it. But as I said, it grew on me. Slowly I noticed the stained glass on the windows, the big lantern providing street light, and appreciated the spaciousness of the place (so much more than a hotel) and the large windows that can be flung open on a sunny afternoon, Another bonus is that the owners are in the bed business. Perhaps it was power of suggestion, but I found the bed to be super-comfortable. The apartment is in a central location, and even though not located on a canal, you need go no further than the end of the street to find a restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking one. There is a supermarket around the corner and everything is within a 20 minute walking distance. Some drawbacks: the apartment is not suitable for those with mobility issues, and some parents may worry about small children negotiating the two spiral staircases. The lack of toilet on the bedroom level will bother some. The shower "lip" is not high enough and the bathroom flooded every time i took a shower. The heat appeared not be working, and the TV stopped working after the first couple of days. These did not bother me, so I did not call the owners about it. The one problem I did contact them about, they were very responsive and came over immediately to fix it. At first I was surprised that the guests are expected to take out the garbage, run the dishwasher and start the laundry before they leave. But after reading around the owner-guest tensions that can occur, I realized it is better to have these expectations clearly laid out. The cleaning fee is not very high, and in the end I was glad to do my part. Overall, I recommend this place.

Excellent appartment in an ideal location for exploring leiden and further afield.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I have rented numerous apartments in the Netherlands over the years. Whilst not the most expensive this was by far the most comfortable. It is well laid out and all the equipment fairly new and in good working order. The large bath and plentiful supply of hot water was a welcome plus. Additionally, the apartment could not have been better located for exploring Leiden. I fully intend to make use of the property again in the near future. Thanks Sabine.

Central location, lovely well-equipped apartment

We were met by Sabine who showed us around and handed us the key. Clear instructions in folder and well-equipped with extras such as lots of towels in the bathroom and tea towels in the kitchen. Washing machine and drier were very useful. Everything was clean, organised and easy to use. A joy to stay in! Was great to stay so locally and on a street of shops - so can watch the world go by... Thank you to Sabine for a brilliant stay - our children also loved it!
