Warm and cosy house between city center and woods
Dear Intervac friends,
We are looking for a house exchange just for the two of us: Alastair (54) and Akke (51). We are open to offers in the Netherlands and abroad. We have a cat to look after, and would like to bring our dog (unless we go to UK, then the dog will go to my parents).
We live in Leeuwarden, a small version of Amsterdam. It is the capital of Friesland. Our semi-detached house is suitable for couples and families with max. two teenagers, or three small children. We have three double beds in three bedrooms. There is one bathroom. The house is located in a green and quiet estate bordering the Leeuwarder woods, very quiet and childfriendly. There is a childrens playground nearby. We almost live in the woods, it is very common to see deer at the end of our street. It is only 10 minutes cycling to the city center of Leeuwarden, along the river which is an attractive cycling route.
Amsterdam is one and a half hour by car. The Wadden islands Schiermonnikoog or Ameland can be visited in one day.
