Irene hosted me in her beautiful historic home for the entire month of August (sadly, i departed today). What a wonderful host she is ... friendly, responsive to my many requests and very patient. My "Sunny Room" was super clean and very comfortable. And, she provided clean sheets and towel weekly. The "vibe" in her home is wonderful with lots of laughter and smiles among her family and guests, who hail from Bulgaria, India, Germany, China and so on. She offers a wide selection of room sizes in her three story home depending on your needs.
About the area: Irene's home is a 5 minute walk to the World Forum, a 15 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk to a Huge wooded forest with hiking trails and a 10 minute walk to the local shopping district full of mid-to-high-end shops, including two grocery stores. Be sure to check-out The Tasty Diner featuring excellent coffee + croissants and lunch menu. The #1 Tram is just around the corner and it will take you to the beach or adjacent to the Central Train Station in Den Haag where you can connect with the train to the Schipol/Amsterdam airport (budget 1.5 hours for this).
One thing about The Netherlands that surprised me is regarding my US issued Visa credit card (which does have a 'chip' on the front, but no PIN). It was accepted at the touristy places, but not widely accepted at local Dutch stores nor the Albert Heijn grocery chain. Fortunately, the Jumbo and Markt grocery chains do accept "No PIN" Visa and M/C. As such, be sure to ask your waiter or store clerk if they accept "No PIN" credit cards or you will be burning through your supply of Euros. If you need cash from an ATM using your pin based debit card, try the ABN bank.
All-in all, an excellent host in a beautiful city. You can do no better.
Cheers,
Steve from Seattle
