Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Leiden

Lovely space to stay in. Clean and comfortable and picturesque location.

Jochem's place is, as others have said, whimsical and creative. He is the ultimate host, very generous with snacks, groceries, coffee, and wine (thank you!). It is clear that he has worked hard to create a unique environment. Here is our list of pros and cons: Pros: Communicative, responsive, kind and generous host Great, safe location - we walked everywhere in this beautiful city Very well stocked fridge, a bottle of wine as a welcome Great shower Nice, big bed Washer and dryer Cons: While Jochem has created nice "mood" lighting, it was somewhat dark for us, and particularly for a woman trying to put on makeup, fix hair, etc. There was absolutely no storage for our clothing, and being on a long trip, it was a challenge living out of suitcases on the floor. The toilet room sink is very tiny with only cold water, and we had to use the kitchen sink to wash up and brush our teeth. I could barely walk around the bed as it takes up most of the bedroom.

We stayed a few nights with our 2 small kids, mainly to visit Amsterdam, and had a wonderful time. The house was great for us, very clean, enough space for everyone, very nice neighbourhood and restaurants and shops were close by bike or walking. We took the car to the nearest train station (Bussum Zuid) with free parking but without kids and less rain, walking would also have been easily possible. Jaap was very friendly and helpful and we felt very welcome. We would happily come again!

Very spacious inside with nice decor. A beautiful garden. Was easy to find. Communication was fast and pleasant. Public transportation is a little further away, but still within walking distance, which suited us.

One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in! It was spotlessly clean (not a speck of dust anywhere!), everything had been thought of (including a welcome bottle of bubbles!), it was spacious, and very convenient for public transport....oh, and stylishly decorated! Being close to the train station meant that we could easily get into central Amsterdam, as well as go on day trips to Rotterdam and Zaanse Schans during our stay. Our favourite day was renting bikes in Zaanse Schans for the day and enjoying cycling through the countryside. Very happily recommend this place to others looking for a base near Amsterdam.

What a wonderful place to stay. The house is fantastic and in a wonderful location. We used as a base for visiting Efteling as well as all the local towns in the area. A truly magical space! The hosts were always on hand for advice and information. Corrie met us on arrival and greeted us with a super tasty cake also. Cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you!

Astrid’s place was an absolute gem and worth every cent. It’s just outside of Amsterdam - in a beautiful part of Zaandam, close to shops, busses and the historical (and magical!) Zaan Schasse area. We were able to party hard in Amsterdam, and catch the train and bus back late at night without issues. We would also go into Amsterdam for the day, and then retreat back to the cabin for cozy, quiet nights. You get a feel for Dutch city life and Dutch suburban life here, and we are so glad we chose Astrid’s place. PS - the cabin is a near a cocoa factory - so every morning you wake up to the whole area smelling like chocolate! Big win.

Great beautiful and luxury location to celebrate Christmas! This luxury location would be complete if the TVs had a cast feature so you can stream your own programs or an accessible hdmi connection. A bath mat by the showers makes it less wet on the bathroom floor. Furthermore, we really enjoyed it and is definitely for repetition.

Do not hesitate to go there! It is the perfect getaway! Everything is well thought, well decorated, we felt so quickly at home and at peace. There are some houses and neighbours around the house but you might only see them when you arrive and leave. The place is private and quiet. The view is exactly like the picture, we spent evenings looking at the sky, the birds, the rabbits and the cows. A great place 😊

A top accommodation, a whole experience

I had a wonderful stay! Bellatrix is a lovely and welcoming host, and the place is absolutely beautiful—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. I stayed with my dog Siva and we both loved the place and the outdoor space. Highly recommend!

Such a lovely stay! This place was exactly what we needed — peaceful, cozy, and away from all the city noise. The cottage is super cute, clean, and has everything you need. Loved waking up to the sounds of farm animals, and it’s close to some handy local grocers too. The host, Marit was amazing — super responsive and really made us feel welcome. Highly recommend if you’re looking to unplug, recharge, and enjoy a bit of countryside bliss. We’d definitely come back!

It’s very good and charming place to stay

I had a wonderful 7 days at Nanda’s apartment. It was very comfortable, lots of light, quiet, and easy to access the city by bike (primary for me), bus and foot. Nanda was very responsive and kind. If you are new to the Netherlands, know that the train outside of the apartment comes once an hour (it goes to a fantastic railway museum that you can walk to) and is whisper quiet, so if you wonder if it’s loud to be near train tracks, it isn’t at all as the trains are electric. The morning and evening light is plentiful and I just had a very lovely stay. The kitchen also is very functional and I did most of my meals in the apartment. Overall really great stay.

Margor and Steven are nice and attentive, they give us a lot of helpful information about the area. The location is near the Zaandam train station and convenient when travelling to Amsterdam city centre. A very nice and cosy place to stay in NL.

The apartment was perfect for our stay over the marathon weekend and made us sad it wasn’t our own! It has a large kitchen with everything you need and a lovely bathroom with huge shower. Hans was a great host and made the self check in process super easy. Thank you Hans and the beautiful Leiden!

Beautiful house! Very welcoming welcome, had a great weekend with 12 friends.

The property is located 20 mins from Schiphol Airport, in a quiet gated community. The house was neat and clean and located beside a water canal. The kitchen and cutlery were well stocked. The furniture was comfortable. Plenty of towels provided. Easy to get to the city and to the other attractions. As stated in the description there is no washer / dryer. Bedrooms are located on the floor above the ground floor, the stairs are a bit steep. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very responsive, friendly and courteous. Upon request we were given a late checkout which was very helpful and very kind of the host. Indeed a superhost! Would love to come back someday!

We had a lovely stay and Anneke or her daughter were always available for questions during the stay. The house is very nicely decorated, everything was clean, good amenities and the pool and Jacuzzi were great. I am more than happy to recommend the place.

Perfect stay! A beautiful villa, very well equipped and maintained. Beautiful design, luxury amenities, attention to details and all in all a wonderful stay. Jolanda was super responsive and very kind. Highly recommended!

We had such a great time staying at this property and highly recommend it and Marius as a host. Amazing start to finish!!

Very nice house, super well-equipped kitchen. We had a lovely stay with our friends in a very peaceful setting. Désirée was always very responsive to our requests. Thank you so much.

Splendid place for a weekend with friends. Big enough for 12 people, with a gorgeous garden and a nordic bath. We really enjoyed our stay! Only point which could be improved: the kitchen is a bit small if you want to cook.

A very nice bungalow in a vacation park, yet with privacy and peace and quiet. Nice wellness available, so you can relax and unwind. Highly recommended!
