All the reviews you see here are true. The Villa is charming and up to date. It is in a great location and Leiden is a fun place to visit. The hostess was very nice.
If you like charming, you will like it. The bed was comfy, the walk in shower was nice (although it doesn't drain very well). Didn't use the kitchen. .
My wife does not care for B&B's and she hated the steep spiral staircase. She slipped on the last step. We're not young. 69 years old. The modern up to date bathroom is on the second floor. If you need to get up in the middle of the night, you need to come down those stairs. Not a deal breaker for some people, but it was for my wife. Maybe if I'd read the website in greater detail I might have figured that out (it's in one of the pictures), but it's not like it was emphasized either.
Also- If you are thinking of staying here, do not expect a typical interaction with regard to your reservation. I paid, as required, by PayPal, and then received no communication or confirmation of our booking. I have always received a confirmation of some sort. None ever came from the villa. I sent repeated emails and filled out the contact form multiple times, but never heard back. Finally I called and was told that, yes, we had a room. I asked for an email confirmation. None ever came. I am basically trusting, but was feeling nervous about the whole thing, which is not how I like to feel when I'm traveling to a place where I have never been. On the phone call, I was asked to call sometime to let them know when we might be arriving on Sunday. Once again, it was different, but, yes, ok. When we knew that we would be arriving at about 3 PM, I called but received a recorded message that they do not answer the phone on the weekend! I found this to be very strange for a place that hosts visitors. Coupled with the lack of communication previously, I was concerned that we would arrive to find the place locked up. Ok, this probably says more about me than them- maybe I worry too much or am not a cool relaxed hip traveler. But I have traveled extensively around the world for many years. So, sorry if I sound like a curmudgeon. In the end, it all worked out fine. We arrived, went to the cafe, and were shown the villa.
