we walked 15 minutes from Den Hague Centraal Station to the apartment, …it was very straightforward beside a park…there is a tram number 9 which stops at Java Brug, (at the corner of Wassenaarseweg), some other guests who were on the same train as us, caught that and arrived at the door at the exact same time!

Saskia was most welcoming, she showed us around the apartment and invited us to have a drink in her sunny garden :o)

she is a charming, highly intelligent person, and much more gorgeous and lively than her photo!

it's a wonderful apartment everything is spic & span new, and of nice design…the loft window over the bed is fun, watching the seagulls fly and the clouds drift by was like a meditation

Saskia had left usa most generous breakfast of fruit, fresh bread, butter, cheese, teas, coffee, milk, yogurt and cereals …more than enough!

the chic neigbourhood has public transport nearby, and although many attractions, including the inner city, are within walking distance, after traipsing the museums and the cobbled streets, it was terriffic to catch a tram almost to the door!! the elegant Mesdag museum, the impressive Mesdag Panorama, and the gorgoeus Peace Palace are a pleasant walk just along the road… we also took a tram from there to Scheviningen to paint the Kurhaus Hotel …and to the Gemeente museum, with it's wonderful tiled interior of art deco design… worth seeing just for the architecture

the area of Saskia's house is characteristic of the C19th architecture of The Hague…very attractive with pretty facades, trees and a canals, the view from the loft apartment was worthy of another painting

there's an Albert Heijn about 5 - 10 minutes walk, open until 9pm every day, and across Java Bridge there's a little grocery store that has everything, and is 5 minutes from the front door.

we were permitted to use Saskia's washing machine, which was helpful….she answered all our questions aboout the city, including the best place for a manicure and hair colour :o)

we loved our holiday in Den Haag and would definitely stay in Saskia's elegant home again
