General overview
The neighborhood is quiet and yet the historic center is only one kilometer away, the same goes for the train station. Dordrecht is an island (with enough tunnels and bridges), a city with 120,000 inhabitants. Close to Rotterdam (accessible by boat, train, car or bicycle). It is also close to Kinderdijk (World Heritage Site). Easy for a day trip to Breda, the beach or even Amsterdam or Antwerp: plenty to discover in the area. The National Park de Biesbosch is known for birds, islands and activities. Go by bike, on foot, by boat or canoe.
The space
Garden in front and behind the house. Open kitchen and spacious living room. Balcony at the back side. Three bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a double bed (1.60x2.00m). The guestroom has a double bed (1.40x2.00m.). In the bathroom there is a shower and toilet upstairs and another toilet on the ground floor. Free parking and I have two bicycles you can borrow.
Guest access
There are two floors, but in my house I also have a basement. And an attic / loft. Usually this is used for storage or laundry.
Notes
I'm free. I quit my job. Time to travel. I live in the moment and don't plan too much ahead so I'm very flexible. My cat Mini is staying out and is currently living with a friend.
I've got a temporary teaching job from 12/4/2024 till 12/7/2024.
It means I'm free the holiday of 27/4/2024 - 12/5/2024.

Anna's house is a perfect base for exploring Dordrecht and its surroundings. It is spacious, bright, cozy and fully equipped. Upon arrival Anna had left a sweet gift for us and lots of tips, travel guides and walking routes. Planning and communicating with Anna is easy: she replies very fast and was always willing to help during the simultaneous exchange we had. We experienced it as a very nice exchange and recommend swapping with Anna! -
Anna's home is bright and welcoming, with beautiful flowers growing in the front yard. The neighborhood is quiet, and it's easy to walk downtown or to the train station. Good place to stay for easy day trips to Rotterdam, Delft- and we even made it to Efteling. Many thanks, Anna! -
We had a lovely stay in Dordrecht at Anna's home. The house is in a calm, quiet neighborhood with two spacious double bedrooms and a sociable, open plan, kitchen and living area. It is conveniently located for the train station and the town centre is easily accessible by bike or on foot. We also enjoyed looking after Mini the cat! -
Anna’s home is light and airy. The neighborhood is green and ideally located, less than a 10 minute bike ride from Dordrecht city center. There is a sunny front garden to sit outside and free on street parking. Anna doesn’t have a TV, but we didn’t miss it as we were were gone all day and out for dinner in the evenings. The house was clean and Anna left us a nice bottle of wine and chocolate as a welcome gift. There are 3 large folders with plenty of information to make a perfect itinerary for Dordrecht and the rest of the Netherlands. Communication with Anna was easy, she was very accommodating and helpful and contacted us during our stay to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We look forward to hosting her in Zegveld. -
We had a lovely weekend exchange with Anna! Her house is situated in a quiet and typical Dutch street. It is very convenient: close to the railwaystation, close to green areas, a very nice supermarket on walking distance and an easy walk to the city center. The house was clean and welcoming. We fully enjoyed the Efteling (a must when you visit Anna with children!) and Vila Augustus (great suggestion from Anna!) and had a nice dinner with Anna on Friday evening to get to know each other. Thanks for the opportunity!

Anna
My name is Anna, I'm 36 years old and worked as an art teacher. I was teaching teenagers. I love to travel (seen a fair bit of the world) and go running (marathons). At the moment I don't work and want to travel for a year or two! Since 2008 I'm an active member on couch surfing, I like to be a guest with locals and become friends or welcome travelers in my home. For a while now I'm also a member of warmshowers, a community for sporty people on a trip who need to find accommodation. I love hospitality, the system of give and take, let's share the world!
