Nothing can beat falling asleep beside and waking up facing the Noordeinde Palace. You’re lucky if you can witness activities within the palace and its surrounds. I’m no sucker for royalty but I must say this was a pretty surreal experience. Marie is the most wonderful and kind host you’ll ever meet. I was greeted at the door and brought up three steep floors to the attic - this is where the private room, ensuite and private living area is. The space looks to be decorated for a little girl with antique wooden horses, a doll house and other charming curiosities which adds to the appeal. You really do feel like royalty sleeping on such a high bed with fluffy pillows - it truly is comfortable! The heating, water temperature and pressure works great for an old house. The location is spot on with it being on a street surrounded by so many great restaurants (open till late), cafes, local shops and even a coffee shop. It’s also a great base to venture out - I visited Voorlinden museum & gardens (highly recommended). Before I left, Marie took me around a small tour of her house which she has lived in for 48 years - it’s a living museum. She passed me a small gift and even helped with my luggage. I left with the biggest smile on my face.
