House in beautiful Haarlem, 12 minutes from Amsterdam Center and the sea

Our house has been build in 1911 and it is situated at the fringe of the center of the old town of Haarlem, near the central railway station and a nice shopping area. We have a city home on the ground floor, with a very spacious living room, a new kitchen, a separate toilet, a bathroom and a master bed room (bed is 160 x 200). In the back house there is also a stair to a 2e floor. Upstairs is the 2nd bedroom /study room with a large bed, with 2 matresses (so you can sleep, if you want, separate in 2 beds).
Our street is very nice and the people are very helpful.
Our house is just 7 minutes walking to the St. Bavo cathedral and the old town hall.
The city is very old and beautiful. There are many interesting buildings, musea, theaters and shops. Amsterdam is so close that you can go by bike. By train (5 minutes walking) you are in 12 minutes in the center of Amsterdam.
The North Sea is only 6 kilometers away. The dunes are beautiful. You can drive there by car (5 minutes) or go by bicycle (15 minutes). The dunes are also very nice to walk through.

We are looking forward to exchange with you.

We like to discover new interesting places and enjoy to be surprised by nice and friendly Intervac members.
Our favorite interests are meeting people, walking through old cities, musea, nature, playing golf. We are fond of reading books, listen to music, enjoying art movies. We love to be outside. Our Intervac exchange- home needs a garden or balcony! In wintertime it does not matter. But in summertime we love to sit, read, eat outside on a balcony or better even in a garden.

We hebben erg genoten van Haarlem en de thuis van Thijs en Mariel. Dankzij de fietsen die we mochten gebruiken konden we nog meer leuke plekken ontdekken! Het was vlot communiceren en heel fijn om mekaar in levende lijve te ontmoeten! Dankjulliewel en tot een volgende keer!

Haarlem est une ville très agréable et moins touristique qu'Amsterdam, tout en étant très bien desservie par les transports en commun. C'est vraiment une très belle opportunité pour découvrir la vie des Pays-Bas, à vélo, à pied ou en train.
Mariel et Thijs sont des hôtes adorables avec une très belle maison calme et agréable à vivre .
Nous sommes restés en contact car c'est un vrai partage dans l'esprit d'Intervac.
