Leiden City Centre Canal View or Terrace View Apartments

The location was excellent.

Steep stairs were a tad of a challenge with my large suitcase, but the haul up well worth the effort

Hosts were extremely nice and always on hand. Location was excellent. Good range of kitchen equipment supplied. There was a nice courtyard to sit in.

Bed was so big that there was no room for even a small suitcase. I didn't realise that the key was in a lockbox, since I couldn't check my mails when travelling. Fortunately I arrived just as the owners were entering the house.

The only thing I liked about this apartment was its central location overlooking the canal & opposite the shops, cafes, restaurants & market.

While I was out on the first evening of my stay, the host came into my apartment without my permission to turn off the lights & close the windows & doors. Any guest should note that the hosts live upstairs in the same building. There was a lot of noise from above, sometimes in the early hours of the morning. It stopped after I complained. The Terrace View apartment is VERY small. The bedroom is tiny & not big enough for two people. There is nowhere to store your luggage. There are a lot of the owner’s personal possessions in both the Terrace View apartment & the Canal View apartment which creates a sense of clutter when space is already extremely limited. The bed in the Terrace View apartment was uncomfortable & the bed linen & duvet were of poor quality. I was cold most nights. The Terrace itself was a disappointment; just a few pots containing some dead plants. Overall, cleanliness levels were acceptable (except for the big carpet mat in the kitchen of the Terrace View apartment, which was one of the most horrible things I have ever seen in a holiday apartment and/or in a kitchen!. It was truly revolting & unhygienic). Overall, this property was a little bit shabby & not good value for money. I could’ve got a decent hotel room the same price & wish I had done so. Both apartments would benefit from some updating & modernising.

Excellent location. Good to have an outdoor space (even if rain made sitting there problematic). Friendly host living upstairs.

Storage was a bit limited - a few shelves and hooks would have been appreciated. An air-fryer but no microwave. Loose handle on sauce pan.

*De locatie van het appartementje midden in het centrum is perfect. *Prima sanitaire voorzieningen en kitchenette. *Er is een dakterasje, met weliswaar enkel uitzicht op buitenmuren.

*Het appartement, gelegen op de 1e verdieping, is erg klein en gehorig. Weinig bewegingsruimte in de kleine slaapkamer. *De trap naar boven is enorm steil en in elk geval niet geschikt (gevaarlijk) voor mensen met een loop-beperking. Dit zou in de advertentie vermeld moeten worden. Ook voor mensen zonder beperking is het oppassen geblazen, zeker als met bagage gesleept moet worden. *Het appartement was schoon, met uitzondering van de dekbedden. *De huurprijs was gezien het hiervoor vermelde wel aan de hoge kant. . *Door het voorgaande heeft het appartement slechts deels aan mijn verwachtingen voldaan.

Locatie top!

Enorm gehorig Klein bed Kleiner dan de foto's
