My host made me feel super welcomed, even before arriving. She messaged me weeks and days prior to ask when I would be arriving and taking into account my opinion before making any decisions that could affect my stay. Even the day I left she messaged me to ask me how my stay went and to make sure everything was ready for my departure.

I had the pleasure of sharing the apartment with my host the first 2 weeks of my 6-week stay and it was truly marvelous (and helpful for I got used to the apartment, even though she did leave very clear instructions on the website). She was very respectful and gave me my space when I needed it, but was also very open and social (we even had a potluck supper -sharing our home and specialty dishes with each other-).

The description of the apartment is indeed very accurate (photos included). The bedroom I stayed at is in fact the one in the picture. The only surprise was not finding a microwave (although it is true it was not listed in the web, but I assumed there would be one). It is a very cozy housing and definitely has a worldly feel to it (oriental carpets, small lamps and many colors and artistic items). I never had any problems with the hot water which was a very pleasant surprise from other places I have stayed at.

The neighborhood is residential and, therefore, a quiet and peaceful one. It is very well connected with the tram and some bus routes, and a nice 30-minute walk away from the beach and downtown Den Haag.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Hague and my stay in 'Charming housing!'. The good quality of the apartment and the relatively-low price I paid for my stay was great. If I ever go back, I will be sure to try and stay here again, no doubt about it.
