Comfortable house close to Amsterdam, Haarlem, National Park and Seaside
The house, built in 1930, is located in a quiet area of Overveen, next to Haarlem. It has a frontyard, a backyard and a balcony on the south. The house has three floors, three bedrooms with double beds, two bathrooms and a toilet on each floor, as well as two studies.
The location is perfect for both lovers of nature and city. One can get around easily without the use of a car: we usually get around by bike and by train. From Haarlem station there are frequent trains that bring you anywhere you want to go to in the Netherlands. In our small country everything is nearby.
It is only 1,5 km to the center of Haarlem, a beautiful old city with lots of bars, restaurants, shops and famous museums, such as the Frans Hals Museum and the Teylers Museum. The nearest trainstation of Haarlem is 1,5 km (ten minutes by bike), from there it's 17 minutes by train to Amsterdam (19 km).
There are also direct train connections to other cities you might want to visit, such as The Hague (40 km, 30 minutes by train) or Rotterdam (53 km, 1 hour by train).
The nearest airport is Schiphol (13 km).
For those who love cycling, walking, swimming and sunbathing, Bloemendaal beach is 5,9 km from our house, and the dunes and lakes in National Park Kennemerduinen at only 2,3 km. There are some beautiful parks to stroll in, such as Elswoud, Middenduin and Koningshof, all within 2 -3 km distance, easily reached by foot or by bike.

We love to cycle and hike in (mountainous) nature, and we love to visit (old) cities
We are Frank and Judith.
We live close to the city as well as close to the beach, forest, park and lakes. We like to walk, cycle and swim and we also love art and literature.
Frank is a journalist and Judith is director of an international literature festival.
We have a lovely large house with a garden, suitable for 4-6 people. We are looking for something similar as an exchange object. The location - preferably in nature, but not far from a city - is most important to us. We are interested in southern countries, and prefer places we can go to by car or train. Preferably (northern) Spain: near Barcelona, Gerona, San Sebastian, Santander or Bilbao.
