House in beautifull Haarlem, 15 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 backhouse there is also a stair to a 2e floor. Upstairs is the 2nd bedroom /study room with a large bed, with 2 matrasses (so you can sleep, if you want this, separate in 2 beds).
Our house is just 7 minutes walking to the St. Bavo cathedral and the old town hall.
The city is very old and beautifull. 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 centre of Amsterdam.
The North Sea is only 6 kilometres away. The dunes are beautifull. 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.

Pets

Pets are NOT welcome in our home

We have some toys and books for children.
Children can play in our garden.
In our street lives many children (mixed population of families and older people)

We are in normal times open for an exchange in more countries or cities than described. We like to discover new interesting places and enjoy to be surprised by nice and friendly Intervac members. At this moment we like to stay in a distance of 1 day driving (car) from Haarlem, because of the Covid-19.
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 home needs in a garden or balcony! In wintertime it does not matter.
