Beautiful location. It had great amenities, everything you needed for a night’s stay. Would recommend.

The guesthouse isn't a standard hotel, more like an airbnb, in that it's one room (or two booked together) plus separate bathroom & kitchenette at the top of Marijke's house. It's very well set up, and would be ideal for a longer stay: there is the kitchenette with mini-fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, & microwave (only basic tea/coffee are provided free though). The bedroom has a large wardrobe with hanging & shelf space, plus lots of room for suitcases. A pedestal fan helps cool the room in hot weather, as does the private balcony, which is a lovely space to sit in the evening. (The balcony gets the sun in the morning, so would be nice for breakfast in cooler weather.) Everything else you need is in the bookshelves: tissues, basic toiletaries, sweets, books & magazines to borrow (in Dutch), tourist guides (Dutch & English). The house is right in the centre of Leeuwarden, very close to lots of places to eat or shop or to visit tourist sights. Also, only about 15 minutes' walk from the train station. It is all extremely clean and fresh-looking.

The bathroom is rather small, and is on the landing, which is shared with Marijke and her daughter -- so you feel you should keep the bathroom door shut at most times. It is not possible to leave luggage after checking out (and sounds complicated to do so before check-in). I used the bike-storage facility in the next street, or there are lockers at the train station, but those are currently surrounded by construction.
