    The sofa could be a little bit firmer, perhaps i am not used to soft sofa. Bathroom is small but all the neccessity is provided.

    Simon was very kind and clear with his instruction on how to retrieve the key and how to dispose the trash. He had also put into considerations things that is needed like shampoo and bodywash, ingredients for cooking, vaccum cleaner. Which makes a lot of sense as i am a clean freak. Also the kitchen was fully accessorized with cleaning products, pots and pans makes it easier to cook anything. There is also washing detergent for the washer and dishwasher. We had a great time hanging out in the large cosy livingroom. We did cooking almost daily and enjoyed our dinner at home most of the time with the huge dining table. The location was extremely great as it is just a walk to the train station and central. Simon was kind enough to let us stay longer as our flight was not until 10pm. Like Simon would put it, a home away from home.

    Nothing to add here.

    This is a great place for anyone who wants to live in a beautiful apartment in a quaint town like Haarlem, and at the same time explore Amsterdam and other cities of Netherlands. Amsterdam is just 16 mins train ride away. The apartment itself is located in a very picturesque and historic section of Haarlem with everything in a walking distance. Coming to our apartment, it is quite cute with a spacious living room and big windows. The place was really clean and every amenity was provided. And the best part is, our host Simon was really helpful. He was always there to respond to our every query and help us on every way he can. He made sure that we are comfortable.

    The host Simon was great and very helpful throughout the stay. Location of the apartment is perfect, right in the center of the city. The apartment has every you need for a longer stay and was very comfortable. The walk up to the apartment is up a narrow spiral staircase and might not accessible to all, but then again Simon is super helpful and helps taking the luggage up.

    Cannot think of anything I didn't like.

    This was a great apartment that had everything I needed. Each time I thought of something, I just imagined where I would keep it....and there it was. The washer/dryer was great, and the bed was very comfortable. The location was fantastic with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Also a short walk to the Phil where my conference was. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Haarlem.

    We prefer a free standing bed but the bedroom size was too small to allow this. A larger bathroom would improve this unit but that is not really an option.

    The location of this apartment could not be better. The square was a 5 minute walk. The train station a 10 minute walk. The supermarket was a three minute walk. The living, dining and kitchen area was very generous in size. The washer and dryer were perfect. All the appliances worked great. We especially like the espresso machine. We could stream from our iPad to the smart TV. The shower was excellent and there was lots of hot water. The bathroom was the smallest one I have ever seen. That being said it worked ok but it was a one person at a time scenario. As a result it took a bit longer to get ready to start the day. The bed was comfortable.

    I can’t find fault with this gem of an apartment. The only thing worth mentioning is that the spiral staircase leading up to the apartment on the first floor is narrow and steep, and not accessible to persons with disabilities.

    I loved the spaciousness of the apartment. The decor is modern, clean and inviting, making you feel right at home. The kitchen comes very well equipped, and the washing machine was a huge plus. For women traveling solo, this is a very safe location, in close proximity to all the important sights of Haarlem, as well as to supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bus stop (to Schiphol), and train station. You couldn’t have asked for a kinder and more attentive host than Simon. He responded immediately to any questions before, during and after my stay, and was a great communicator.

    Nothing.

    Location was near all the necessary shops, cafes, bars and very close to a decent supermarket. Felt like home from home, and had everything we could think of you would need in terms of utensils and implements for cooking. Excellent advice on what to do and how to do it in the area and the host was extremely helpful, but not intrusive. Given that it’s a city centre location it was quiet in the evening and early morning. Happy to agree that it is the coolest apartment in Haarlem!

    Everything was great!

    Our stay in Simon's apartment was great. We received instructions via Whatsapp on how to find the apartment and get the key. That went smoothly. The apartment is very centrally located, in the middle of Haarlem, and yet it is quiet in the bedroom. It is all very comfortably furnished and decorated with a lot of love. A LED fireplace and lots of candles add to the coziness. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and waffles - thank you! :-) The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is small but nice and offers everything you need. We liked that many products were in stock, such as soap, toilet paper and also delicious coffee. We had the opportunity to meet Simon briefly, he is super friendly and helpful and gave us some tips for our time in North Holland. Overall, we felt very, very comfortable and welcome.

    There was nothing I did not like. Just to note though: the bathroom is small (as can be seen from the photos) however it has everything you'd need and the shower is great. There are circular stairs going up one flight to the apartment which are narrow and it can be a little tricky with heavy bags but otherwise is OK.

    The apartment was lovely. It is located in the heart of Haarlem within a short walking distance of bars and restaurants and the train station. It's a good location to stay if visiting Amsterdam as the train in is quick and fast. It was spotlessly clean and very comfy. The furnishings and facilities were top notch. The decor is very stylish.
