Hi Licia, south Holland apparently is much better than North Holland! But generally south of Netherlands is friendlier than the "Hollanders". I enjoyed my stay a lot in Maastricht with super friendly neighbours and people. This is not the ... Read More

looking for family accommodation in Haarlem by robin benson
Hi folks...we are a family moving from Wales to Haarlem in Jan/Feb 2013 and are looking for family accommodation to rent...we need a small yard or garden as we have a dog. Any suggestions or advice or tips most welcome. Many thanks. Robin Benson
