Our apartment is situated in the historic city center of Leiden ( 3 minutes cycling to Breestraat or 4 minutes cycling to Haarlemmerstraat - main shopping streets). French bakery, traditional fish shop & flowers are just around the corner. There are many student houses around, so the atmosphere is nice. The apartment is situated on the first floor of house-monument. There is no garden, but we have a very beautiful park Plantsoen in front- so it is nice for running, reading book or having a picnic.
Getting around
The supermarket is 20 meters away from the house. 100 meters in front, there is a beautiful park - Plantsoen - with a track to run, benches for a picnic, a small Aviary (bird zoo), and a playground for kids.
