Enjoy all the pleasures of this spacious, quiet and delightful canal house in the centre of The Hague’s city life. A central location, on the most beautiful canal of The Hague, also known as 'Avenue Culinair' due to the many charming high quality restaurants situated here. The city centre and the international train station can be reached within a five minute walk. Numerous shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes are just around the corner. All this makes the house a unique place to stay.
The picturesque ground floor apartment is very tastefully furnished including a sofa bed for one extra guest or two small children, piano, flat screen TV, fridge, washer and dryer, iron and coffee maker. The apartment also has a spacious kitchen including a dishwasher, a bathroom with a rainshower and a separate toilet. Then there is a roomy bedroom with lots of cupboard space that opens out onto the little patio where you can sit when the weather is nice. A gorgeous and comfortable home.
This apartment is an ideal expat apartment since all facilities required for making your life comfortable during your stay in The Netherlands are provided. The apartment breathes a delightful Dutch atmosphere, which makes you feel at home straight away.
The Neighbourhood For centuries, this neighbourhood is the home and workplace of many artists and free spirits. The house where the philosopher Spinoza lived is just around the corner. Three master painters of the Golden Age, Paulus Potter, Jan van Goyen and Jan Steen lived and worked from the Dunne Bierkade (opposite the apartment), the place where beer was delivered into the city. You can still enjoy a beer here, cosy establishments can be found along the old routes of the canal boats, with appropriate names like De Pakschuit or De Paas. The canals and old avenues are being restored more and more. You can embark on a boot cruise of The Hague or the neighbouring municipalities. Those who like to discover on their own can hire canoes and explore the waterways themselves.
Transport A 5-minute walk from the international train station. By tram or train you are within 20 minutes by the sea, 15 minutes in Delft, 25 minutes in Rotterdam and 50 minutes in Amsterdam. Not only a perfect location for your visit to The Hague, but also a great base for visiting The Netherlands. Almost everything is a 10-minute walk away, all trams and buses stop in the immediate vicinity. Nearby you can also rent a bike. The Peace Palace is a 10-minute bike ride and Scheveningen beach is just 20 minutes away.
Within 5 minutes you will be in the shopping area and in 10 minutes at the King's work palace, the government buildings (Binnenhof), Mauritshuis, Escher Museum, the antique market at the Lange Voorhout (every Sunday). Do not forget to look at The Hague town hall (architect Richard Meier) commonly referred to as the Ice Palace, which also houses the public library and tourist information. And do not forget to go for a drink in Bleyenberg's rooftop bar, a cafe restaurant with spectacular views over the city.

Philip and his wife were lovely guests. Communication was a breeze and they took great care of the apartment. We would love to host them anytime. Highly recommend.
Overall a terrific place. Charming, clean, great location and our host Marjan was easy to work with and very helpful - even providing some great restaurant recommendations.
This is a lovely spot to stay - so historic, well laid out and so close to everything we needed. Dino and Marjan were able to let us check in early which was so kind. The train station was close, grocery store was close, the restaurants across the canal were lovely and being on the canal was super cool.
Excellent location overlooking the canal with top notch restaurants close by. Spacious apartment with lots of ambiance. Marjan and Dino were extremely thoughtful and helpful hosts.

Thanks a lot for your beautiful review Jennifer! All the best to you and Chris.
Located in a charming, culturally diverse area. Plenty of food/drink availability nearby. Close to train & tram. Property could use some TLC, especially lighting and mirror in bathroom.

Thanks Rick and we hope to see you again when you are visiting The Hague.
The location was a big plus. Great restaurants close by grocery store down the street and walking distance to Center. Hosts were very eager to make sure our stay was great.
Loved everything about the trip! You couldn't find a better location. Wonderful restaurants, shops,etc. The scenery was absolute beautiful, old world charm feel. And, the hosts were terrific!
We had stayed in the area a few times before, but this stay easily beat them all - a comfortable place, centrally located and with all the facilities we needed. Marjan was easy to contact and very helpful. In all, a great place to stay
We ate at four of the restaurants across the canal during our stay. Also the historic palace and town center were within easy walking distance. The teams and trains were also close by for us to visit Arnhem, Schevening, and Delph by canal.

Dino (Marjean’s husband) handled our early checkin. We stayed three nights. The location was perfect - we walked most places, and took the tram a few times. The
Kitchen had everything we needed. The shower was the best VRBO shower we’ve ever had.

Thanks Dou and we hope to see you again when you are visiting The Hague.
Right on a canal in a great part of Den Haag. My husband and I stayed here with our two children. We loved the location with its close proximity to many restaurants, stores and China town. The bathroom was lovely and the beds were comfortable. I really loved the little courtyard for a cozy place to sit outside and chat at night. We would definitely stay here again.

What a special treat to stay in this apartment!
This property was so special. It is beautiful, spacious, well appointed and very conveniently located. We walked to everything, had great food options near-by (right across the lovely canal in front of the house) and the hosts were very helpful. I highly recommend a visit to The Hague and a stay in Huygenspark

Thanks Gina and we hope to see you again when you are visiting The Hague.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Dino and Marjan’s canal house and appreciated their hospitality. The location was great! Lots of good restaurants and small bodega like shops nearby. It was also within walking distance of some main attractions (Mauritshuis, Escher museum) and a train station. The place was neat and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. We hope to stay again in the future.
