Hi,

I've been waiting for a call from a recruitment firm (they said they were going to ring me everyday for the past three days!!) in the Netherlands and hopefully will be getting a job over there soonish (next few weeks/couple of months... I hope).

I have been researching accomodation and realised that in Amsterdam it is very expensive I was just wondering if anyone could reccomend a place to live which is near to commute but not too far maybe even cycle distance. Maybe somewhere which is cheap but nice or even any good websites to find accomodation. I would be looking for a one bedroom apartment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,

Tom

If you don't mind a bit of a train trip Haarlem is a very nice area about 20 mins away by train. I can still be expensive but it's a bit cheaper than Amsterdam. I think most people will agree with me that it is a very nice place.

I used to live in Weesp as well which is about 15 mins away by train but if you like a busy social life it might not be the place for you since it is basically a village.

You could also look at North Amsterdam. I hear it is a bit cheaper but you do have to get the fairy over the river to get to the main city.

I hope this helps.
