The place is really nice, clean and in a quiet area. Limin is very welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay there! The place is outside the main central area in Leiden, but it is just half an hour from the central station on foot (public services are also available but we like walking a lot!). I would advise everybody to go there because you will be completely satisfied! Thank you Limin!

Limin was a very friendly and welcoming home. Arranging times for check-in and check-out was very easy. The room was nice and clean. If I come back to Leiden one day I'd definitely contact Limin again.

Although no particular problems to share the bathroom not heated

Was at lemins for a short stay. Everything was as agreed on

To the first station in the Netherlands, in Chomsky Pu after the car went straight to the airport to take here, the scenery is very beautiful house in a quiet area, away from the old town very close to the owner is a fellow, kind-hearted enthusiasm, kept a cat, Leiden beautiful environment, is worth a visit, especially the great botanical gardens of the University of Leiden, Amsterdam train to the city soon, it is recommended

Limins place is as advertised .. good value for Leiden... walking into the city takes a while, so the number 6 bus is highly recommended ...only 2 euros and driver accepts coins .. tango studio is just around the corner if you want lessons

The place is really great and Limin is very friendly. I loved to be there.

Limin communicated with us proactively and was a very welcoming host. Her home was fully stocked with amenities, and she even provided some nice local tourism extras. Limin helped us plan activities and find a nice place for dinner. Her home is clean and comfortable, and located in a truly charming neighborhood. I will be back if I return to Leiden!

have a good stay

A nice little house in the center of Leiden. Comfy and clean. But be aware you are essentially renting the only bedroom in the house. Margherita is almost always in the sitting room downstairs. This meant that although our stay was fairly pleasant there was not much privacy. Something that was a little strange for somewhere advertised as ideal for young couples.

We slept in a comfortable bed in a very small house in a historic street.

The hostess gave us a very nice, very short but sufficient. She came home very late, so you wake up, and it was very cold during the night in the room. Since it was only a one night stay, it was fine.

Margherita's place is wonderful. It is cosy, small and friendly place. Very close to centre of Leiden (5 min walk). Margherita is a very friendly host, very communicative. The breakfast is great! The cats very shy but sweet.

The room is located in a very quiet area of Leiden, close to the city center. The double bed is spacious and the room was clean. Everything was as described. In Leiden this room is very good value for money.

My stay lasted for three nights and it was really perfect. Leiden is lovely, the house is very nice, warm and friendly. It is practically in the center, so you can reach everything on foot. Margaret is fantastic, very kind and always available for everything. The breakfasts prepared by her are delicious!

Everything was fine and just as described. We stayed for two days and had two good days in Leiden. The little house, considerate host, great homemade breakfast and shy cats made this stay really special. We can highly recommend to stay with Margherita.

We had a really nice time staying at this beautifully located apartment. Everything of interest was in walking distance, including the train station from where you can get to Den Haag or Amsterdam in little time. The beach isn't too far away either - around 15-20min by car. The bed was very comfortable and we found some apples on the table and beer in the fridge when we arrived. Towels, coffee, tea and the likes were provided as well. The "kitchen" has all basic appliances as well as pots, pans etc. Since there's only one hotplate, you might have difficulties cooking a three course dinner - but it's holidays, so we mostly went to the nearby restaurants to eat anyways. We definitely recommend this apartment and would stay there again anytime!

Directions to the Minihouse from the central rail station were a bit vague and we had difficulty finding it from the bus stop. We found the Minihouse a little bit cheerless and in need of some minor titivations eg attention to naked wires poking out of the wall. We did not use the courtyard because of the weather and also because we did not wish to impose on our hosts' privacy. The library is composed entirely of non-English books. The skylight when left open allowed rain to drip in. The good features were a very comfortable bed and the Minihouse's central station - and charming hosts!

Dirk and his family made us feel so welcome in his beautiful home. Leiden is an incredible town, and the house is in a perfect location for everything, the house is well equipped and we could ask for nothing more during our weeks stay. It was clean, comfortable and very cosy. We couldn't have asked for a better place or a better host. It's bigger than the pictures make it seem and the little terrace is lovely to sit and relax. it's a very quiet neighbourhood and is perfect for anyone who wants to visit the Netherlands. The bed was huge and comfy, and the sofa you could just sink into after a long day of exploring. We would always go back there! Dirk was extremely friendly and brightened up our stay suggesting things to do and where to go. Thankyou for a perfect holiday!

A great flat in the very centre of Leiden. Dirk was a friendly host and everything was super easy.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location in the city. Nice and quiet and a good bed ensures a good night's sleep. Disadvantages are unfortunately too. It was very cold in the cottage and it took more than one day of our two day stay to get this resolved. The fact that the thermostat is not in the cottage itself, makes this a difficult problem and does not feel free. The bank lacks true behind pillows making it the loose cushions not really feel good about. The kitchen has only one electrical cooker and making self catering very challenging. All in all we have had the sense to us, but there are some improvements that I think can be solved.

Was fine, ideal location. had a top weekend.

Dirk's place was just what we needed for a weekend away in lovely Leiden! The apartment is quite small, but the photos are reliable: it's pretty, with loads of books and DVDs, and a shared garden. Dirk was very quick to reply to our questions, and everything was just perfect.

Nice spot in the historic heart of Leiden with privacy

With two friends had a very nice weekend at the home of Madelon. Keywords: cozy, well-kept, attractive.

My wife said, after reviewing the photos here on Airbnb: "This place looks even better in reality than it does on these photos." And sure it does. Madelon was super friendly, she provided even some food (even ice cold beer in the fridge, access to her mocha machine), and had everything managed greatly, even the parking tickert! In case of questions, she was super-responsive. Her daughter was friendly and explained everything to us we needed to know. The house is close to the inner city of Leiden, but very calm. It's a great place to stay.

We have a wonderful weekend in Leiden had also on behalf of fine home Madelon where we stayed. Even our dog was welcomed on arrival with a bone. The house is fully equipped, clean and spacious, and is in a quiet area a 15-minute walk from the center. No 5 mjnuten walk from supermarket, bakery and other small shops. We therefore recommend this place wholeheartedly!

We had wonderful days in the charming house of Madelon. Due to the enormous hospitality we felt right at home. The house has a lovely garden and is situated in a quiet area so you can sleep. Within walking distance is a supermarket. In short; all the ingredients for a great stay! Madelon, thanks for letting us stay in your home. We love to come back sometime! :) Cordial greetings, Linda and daughters.

We had a great time at Madelon's place. It was a lovely home. We spent a day in Amsterdam it was easy to get to the train station. We also explored Leiden and it was breath taking. Madelon is a great host. She replied quickly and gave great advice to get around. She was so sweet she even bought us some groceries to get through the night and morning since we came in very late. We loved the house and garden. It was cozy and beautiful. I am going to visit Leiden again just to stay at her house again.

Madelon welcomed us warmly. The house is perfect. Everything needed was there. It's a cosy and lovely place, very close to the center (5 minutes walking distance). Thank you again Madelon ! :)

The experience was wonderful. The house is lovingly decorated and Madelon had specially previously shopped for us. Even otherwise was catered for. Madelon daughter was at all times during the stay. The location is very good ... shops and the town with all the sights is within walking distance. We will come back!

Our stay at this property was perfect in every way for us. Madelon was a very kind and generous host, who was always available if we needed her and was able to meet us on arrival and departure. She also kindly provided several items of food and drink for us, which were very welcome. The house is a delightful property, warm and cosy, and full of character. Beds are comfortable too. The shower had instant hot water. The garden would be a lovely place to sit and relax in warmer weather. The street is peaceful, with parking always available; Madelon left us a parking permit. We really enjoyed the 15-20 minute walk to the town centre, which takes you across two canals and into the old centre. Near to the property are a few shops and several restaurants. We particularly enjoyed 'Vriend' for good quality food, and 'Panini' for an Italian menu and very friendly service - all within a 10 minute walk. In the centre of town there are many more places to eat. The number 4 bus stop into town (2 an hour) was a 5 minute walk away, taking you to Leiden Central station from where you can take trains to a host of fantastic places, such as Rotterdam, Haarlem and Amsterdam, among others. Train travel is reasonably affordable and certainly cheaper than the South East of England. Leiden is one of our favourite Dutch towns, and we've returned several times. We would definitely stay in Madelon's lovely house again.

Roseanne is an engaging and enthusiastic hostess. And her apartment is top-notch! Great location, great views and has all the comforts of home - because it is her home. Highly recommended!

It was a good communication prior to departure and during that time there were also communication. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and nice postcards. Appartement was clean and nice and low central, near the station and city center.

Good location, 5 mins walking from Leidan Centraal. Great place, very nice and helpful host.

I had a wonderful stay at Rosanne's place. The appartment was exactly as described with a lovely view and wonderful facilities. Rosanne was away when I arrived but she arranged for her father to welcome me at check in and thoughtfully provided fresh flowers and chocolates. It was such a warm start to the stay and I truly appreciate it. The place is centrally located, within easy walking distance from most places of interest in Leiden. It felt like a home away from home. I would not hesitate to highly recommend it if it is available. Thank you so much Rosanne and Tom, for one of the best airbnb experiences I have had.

I had a wonderful stay at Rosanne's place. The apartment is beautiful, has a great view, is tastefully decorated and is in a good location. Easy walking distance to the university and most places of interest in the city. It is perfect for people staying in the city for a while o do work. It has great amenities and feels very cosy and homey. Rosanne is a fantastic host. She was away when I arrived but arranged for a smooth checkin through her father, who was very warm and welcoming. She also ensured that the place was spotless and thoughtfully left me some chocolates and fresh flowers. I will not hesitate to recommend it if it is available again. It was one of my best airbnb experiences, thank you so much Rosanne and Tom!

We waren in Nederland in april 2017 met mijn man en mijn dochter 2,5 jaar. Ik vond het appartement. Gezellig thuis. Uitstekende locatie, mooi uitzicht vanuit het raam. Pure. Aan de onderkant van de ingang kamer waar we de wandelwagen vertrokken. Er is een gezellig balkon om 's avonds bijeenkomsten. De gastvrouw is zeer aangenaam om het meisje te praten, waren alle problemen direct opgelost, ons ook geholpen om het probleem op te lossen met de eigenaar van de volgende appartement (we gingen naar België). Met onze late aankomst werden we wachten op de tafel boeket van tulpen, wijn en een cadeautje voor mijn dochter. Zeker aan te raden! En wil zich graag terug te komen :)

Willemien is an amazing host. Upon arrival we were greeted and shown around the apartment. Willemien has a folder prepared for guests listing suggestions for local restaurants and attractions. The best part of the stay was the delicious breakfast prepared by Willemien (you get to chose what you want) and the conversations with her. The place is exactly as seeing in the pictures, very clean and cozy. Overall, a great experience!

We enjoyed our stay with Wilhrmminia. This was our very first experience with Airbnb. Wilhemenia was a perfect host and wonderful conversationalist! Our bedroom was immaculate! Nice white clean linens, plenty of towels , comfy pillows , a huge bathroom with a wonderful big bathtub. Everything was clean and crisp! We had a beautiful big window with a view of a picturesque backyard. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast that Wilhemenia prepared for us. Scrambled eggs , delicious fresh bread and assorted goodies. We had rented a car and she provided us with a parking pass so we did not have to pay for parking. You must pay for parking everywhere in Leiden and that can be difficult since you are constantly having to get change to feed the meter. The only concern I would have staying at Wilheminia is the narrow, steep staircase for someone that has difficulty walking stairs. For us that was not a problem except that we had a lot of luggage and that made it difficult. But if you are a light traveler, this is the perfect place to stay since the location is within walking distance in the center of Doentown Leiden and Wilhrmenia was the perfect host!

Willemien welcomed us with a cup of tea and a friendly chat. She showed us our lovely, clean and comfortable room and explained everything we needed to know in very good English. The location was perfect; five minutes from the station and a short walk into town yet in a quiet, pretty street. The breakfast was just what we like: fresh fruit every day and a good selection of everything else to choose from. What we enjoyed most of all were our breakfast chats with Willemien and Charlie the cat. We will be back for sure.

Willemien was extremely welcoming and the location was very central to our needs. The accommodation was everything it said it would be. If we ever needed to come to Leiden again this would be the first place we would come to.

Willemien was very welcoming and helpful in providing us with practical information about the locality.

Willemien was extremely welcoming, and she has a beautiful, clean home, just like you see in the photos! I stayed at her home for 11 days while I did research at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, which was a very convenient walk over. Willemien's home is very close to the train station too, so it was easy to get there from Amsterdam. She also answered all of my questions (where to go running, safety in Leiden, etc.). The room is upstairs (the stairs are steep so be careful taking up large bags), and it was very quiet. There's a very large window that overlooks the quiet garden, and there's lots of sunlight. The bathroom was also very large! Willemien allowed me to use her washer/dryer, which was very convenient. I also used her fridge to store groceries. Willemien is very fun to chat with, and the couple times we had dinner, I always enjoyed our conversation. Overall, this was a phenomenal stay, and I would suggest anyone who is visiting Leiden to stay here!

We enjoyed our stay with Wilemien. She offered hot breakfast and had morning chats with us on topics around Holland and everything. This has increased our knowledge about Holland. Her house is in a three-minutes walking distance from the train station and is located in a very nice and quiet neighbourhood. She gave us suggestions about our itineraries and recommendations about restaurants. Our experience with her was very pleasant and we have no hesitation to recommend her to you!

I spend four nights at Willemien b&b. The house is very comfortable, easy to join from Leiden Central Station and very clean. Willemien is a perfect host, helpful, and a very nice person to have a chat with. The b&b is in a very quiet street, a few minutes walk from the very center of the town. I had a wonderful experience and I suggest it to every Leiden visitor.

Lászlo is very responsive and accommodating. He helped me check in when I didn't have cellular service and couldn't communicate consistently. The place is clean and a good value. I would book again!

László's place is very centrally located, just by the canal. It's a good location for exploring the city and it's also within walking distance from the train station. The room was clean and comfortable, and László was a really friendly host. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who travels to Leiden.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I was visiting a friend studying in Leiden so this location was perfect. Close to a bar so drinks are available and a 5 minute walk from the train to Amsterdam. As a side note I'd advise anyone staying in Leiden that if you'really looking for a cheap stay just to visit Amsterdam. Round trip is 19 Euro's. You may be able to invest in something closer for that extra amount money.

Ik hou van de Nederlanders. Waar anders kun je wensen Rick Astley op de radio? Waar anders wordt gekookt uit airbnb verhuurder? Now sincere: The flat is above a renting company and small, but convenient and cozy. A small kitchen, bathroom and the mainroom with 3 beds in total means enough places to sleep even for a small family trip ! The place is really central in Leiden, 5 - 10 min by foot to Leiden Centraal or the University and shops and restaurants directly around the corner. Laszlo, the owner is a really friendly, easy going and reliable guy and will take good care of you ! Recommended!

We had a very good time. It's a good quiet location and everything is described on the site was the cat Aagje as an extra plus. Miriam is also a good host and the communication was clear. Overall perfect

We just returned from a lovely weekend Leiden. We greatly enjoyed the hospitality of Miriam. The loft was spacious, bright, nicely furnished and equipped. Not to mention a top location in the center of Leiden. Highly recommended.

We are a couple who spent a week in this loft while looking for permanent residence in Leiden. We greatly enjoyed our stay! The loft is beautiful, full of natural light and a lot of fun. Mirjam was so nice and helpful about everything, helping us with our apartment search and giving us tips about Leiden. The location is perfect- central but quite and close to the central station. We highly recommend this loft!

location is fantastic, right in centre of town, and yet very quiet.

Couldn't ask for anything more! Excellent!

We were warmly welcomed arid Miriam and her oldest daughter. We got a tour of the 'loft' and a manual for the magnificent in- and cascading windows, creating a very bright apartment. We have the nuts and bottle of wine taste good!

I LOVED my stay in this home! It is exactly what I was looking for in an Airbnb accommodation: living with locals but also have the ability to retreat into my own private area since the room is in it's own floor and has it's own shower and toilet, little living room, desk and mini fridge and coffee area. I also was welcomed to sit and interact in the main living area with my host Mirjam and her daughters who are all lovely, genuine and warm people. The room has floor to ceiling windows so there is good natural light but also have curtains for privacy. The decor is warm and has that island beach retreat feel. Mirjam put in special touches in the room to make you feel at home like coffee maker, tea, some breakfast (stroopwafels - my favorite!), and wine! The location is in a quiet residential street and a block away from restaurants and 5 minute walk to Leiden Central station. I stayed here for 4 nights. I would highly recommend her home and also would love to go back myself.

Hospitably received by Miriam location is perfect in the center but in a quiet street. Nice room as in the pictures and it has everything you need. Highly recommended!

The house was very nice and clean, and also very nicely located right next to the botanical gardens. Joop was just in time to hand over the key, and had very kind brought a box of chocolates. Perfect stay.

We had a lovely time staying in Joop's pretty apartement. It is located perfectly central and it is a very charming little place

I enjoyed staying in Joop's flat. He was very helpful throughout our stay and the flat is in a lovely central area of Leiden on the canal. I would definitely stay there again.

good venue ideal for visiting leiden and the other nearby towns

Joop's apartment is lovely and would be perfect for a single or a couple. It was very comfortable for my work visit to the University and the neighborhood is well connected.

Great location, quiet. Absolutely loved the city!

We loved staying at Joop's place and the location is absolutely unbeatable. It was extremely quiet considering it is close (within 100 m) to a very nice restaurant, the botanical gardens and the University. Joop made the check in very easy and also brought over some fresh fruits, chocolates and water, which was a very nice gesture. Absolutely great experience! (Leiden was great too!)

A nice house with a beer and a bottle of white wine awaiting us. A fine experience.

Bert's flat is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. Location is perfect for exploring Leiden and travelling around by train or bus. Bert was a very welcoming and helpful host. Only one negative was we found the main bed quite firm and so did not get the best sleep. Sofa bed is a very firm futon. Alan and Christine. Bristol, England. April 2017

To anyone who wants to stay in Leiden: THE perfect place to be. Central in Leiden, everything in walking distance. Appartment well equiped, wonderful view on the canal. The host(ess) very very nice, friendly and helpful. So no hesitation: canalhouse!!!!!

Bert's apartment is amazing! The views over the canal are beautiful and picturesque! You have everything you could possibly need in the apartment including a very nice coffee machine. Bert was a great host always willing to help, he helped us take our stuff up the typical steep Dutch staircase when we arrived and was always on hand if we needed. He left us some delicious freshly baked Dutch bread and some basic things (Milk, OJ and a couple of beers) in the fridge. The apartment can get a little noisy during the evening especially on a Friday and Saturday night but then you are right in the middle of town with lots of bars, pubs and restaurants around, so you should expect this. We stayed with our 1 year old son and were concerned about the noise, but eventually it all worked out. Thank you Bert!

Awesome location, right in the heart of Leiden. We had an amazing stay, only wish it was longer! Apartment was an amazing size, all the amenities, with stunning canal and square views. Super easy to find and Bert was a genial and available host. Hopefully we'll be back soon!

Excellent apartment and probably better than any hotel in Leiden. We arrived by car so it was very nice that we could park for free in Bert's private garage. You can walk to the train station in a few minutes and the train will bring you to the Hague in 15 minutes. Bert was very helpful and a great host.

Bert's apartment is simply GREAT. The apartment is exactly as it is in the pictures. It is central and with a wonderful view. Bert prepared some amazing Holland butter and marmalade, eggs, and juice in the fridge. The apartment is well equipped: dishes, pots, glasses, mugs, coffee machine. We found towels, hair dryer and everything. I really hope to come back soon! I felt at home.. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!

Definitely recommend staying here if traveling to Leiden, easy location access to the train station, shops and restaurants!

Leiden is a charming town, and Bert's apartment is perfectly located to enjoy it! A quick walk from the station, the view is outstanding and the apartment very spacious. I highly recommend it, and would love to go back!
