General Overview

Our non-smoking, cozy and spacious family home is located in a quiet and child-friendly suburb of Arnhem. You only have neighbors on one side and both a sunny front and back garden to relax in. The house is practically furnished, ideal for families, and equipped with everything you need to feel right at home. Within walking distance you will find beautiful nature for walking or cycling, sports facilities, swimming water, shops and good public transport. The location is perfect: Arnhem is very centrally located in the Netherlands: * Amsterdam is only an hour's drive away, * you can reach the German border in about 25 minutes, * and within 1.5 hours you are in Belgium. Whether you want to explore the Netherlands, want to spend a day in Germany or are planning a trip to Belgium, you can do it all from our house. And in the evening you return to a quiet, green residential area where you can end the day relaxed. With or without a bbq or a cozy wood fire in our backyard. Our house is therefore the ideal base for a versatile and comfortable holiday!

The Space

Welcome to our light and airy smoke-free family home, located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood in Arnhem. It feels like a small village within the city: you only have neighbors on one side, and they are very kind. With both a sunny front and back garden, you can enjoy being outdoors at any time of the day. What makes our home so special? 1) Spacious, smoke-free family home 2) Sunny front and back garden 3) Calm, child-friendly neighborhood with playgrounds nearby 4) Bicycles available to explore the green surroundings 5) Small children’s pool can be set up in the garden 6) Free parking right in front of the house 7) Superfast fiber-optic WiFi 8) Friendly neighbors and a welcoming atmosphere Layout of the house: Ground floor: bright living room with wood-burning stove, open kitchen, toilet, TV with PlayStation 5, Netflix, and Disney+. As said we have a garden: The backyard has several seating areas, a charming gazebo, and thanks to its south-facing location, enjoys plenty of sunshine. A barbecue and a fire pit are available for roasting marshmallows, or just enjoying the warmt and cozyness First floor: two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with bathtub and separate shower, plus an extra room used as a walk-in wardrobe. Attic: landing with washing machine and dryer, an additional small room with a sink and a large dollhouse plus more children’s toys. Thanks to a wide dormer window, there is also a spacious, well-insulated third bedroom. All beds have extra pull-out mattresses for additional sleeping space. The house is ideal for families and will immediately feel like home. For families with young children, it is good to know that we do not have stair gates, which makes it less suitable for very active toddlers – but of course, everyone is very welcome!

Guest Access

We have two floors. Unfortunately, our house is not very suitable for people with a physical disability. Our front door and back door are easily accessible. The path in the garden is laid out in such a way that children with bicycles and roller skates can easily cross it. This also makes strollers easily accessible.

Notes

We have received special bins in the garden from our municipality to separate our waste. Plastic, cardboard and garden waste, for example. These bins are emptied at regular intervals and should therefore be placed on the street. For all other household waste, there are underground containers in our street within a minimum walking distance. These are free to use.

Neighbourhood

Our house is located in Elderveld, a pleasant neighborhood in the south of Arnhem, the capital of Gelderland. You may know Arnhem from the movie A Bridge Too Far. Elderveld is a green, water-rich neighborhood from the 70s with many single-family homes and a pleasant, village-like atmosphere. Everything within reach! Within walking distance you will find a shopping center with bus stops (in 10 minutes you are in the center of Arnhem), two supermarkets, a bakery, hairdressers, snack bars, a pet shop and a drugstore. Medical facilities, a sports hall and a squash centre are also nearby. For children there is a wide range of playgrounds and sports facilities, including: Sports field Richard Krajicek, where you can play basketball or football. A water playground with climbing bridges to an island, picnic areas and space for young and old. Restaurants within walking distance, including a pancake house and an international restaurant. Nature and the great outdoors Within five minutes you can walk from our house to the dikes along the Rhine. A little further on is the Meinerswijk nature reserve, where you can walk among wild animals and special sights. There are also plenty of opportunities in the area: open swimming water with beaches, mountain bike trails, a whole cycling network and various castles to visit. Arnhem and surroundings Arnhem itself is buzzing with sights: Burgers' Zoo and Park Sonsbeek, the Netherlands Open Air Museum and the Airborne Museum, The Water Museum, Wine Museum and even a Mountain Bike Museum. The famed John Frost Bridge, The Gelredome Stadium, home of football club Vitesse and venue for concerts and events, are also worth a visit. For nature lovers, there are heaps of forests, moorland hills and plenty more places where hiking and cycling is commonplace – many within easy driving distance. For sports enthusiasts, there is plenty of choice: Jump Square, swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, climbing walls, a ski hall and much more. Perfect location Our neighborhood -Elderveld- is easily accessible: you can easily reach the city center by trolleybus or from Arnhem-Zuid station. By car you are within a few minutes on the highways to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Germany or the Hanseatic cities in the north. From the hills of the Veluwe to the blossoms in the Betuwe, from the atmospheric Achterhoek to the vast river landscape – here you will find nature in all its forms. Add to that the cozy inner cities and castles, and you have the perfect mix of culture, nature and relaxation. There is so much to see and do in Arnhem and the surrounding area that you will not be bored for a moment!

Getting to my home

The best way to get to my home is of course by car. You can park in front of my house and for extra cars there are several parking spaces nearby. It is also very easy to get here by public transport. We have a train station about ten to 15 minutes walking distance at a slow pace. (Arnhem-South). In the center of Arnhem you will find Arnhem Central Station. There you can take several buses or even a taxi (I estimate about 25 euros) to my house. The bus stops are a 5-minute walk from our house and from Arnhem Central Station it is about ten to 15 minutes by bus in a straight line to our house. If you want to come by plane, we have several airports that you can use. Weeze Airport is located just across the border with Germany. From our house this is a 63 km drive. Here you can rent cars from 12 euros per day. This is not possible by public transport. From Eindhoven Airport it is 86 km by car. From Eindhoven you can take the train to Arnhem, although we recommend renting a car because of the flexibility. Düsseldorf Airport in Germany is located about 125 km from Arnhem. From the train station in Düsseldorf there is a direct train connection to Arnhem CS. Finally, Amsterdam Schiphol is also easy to do. (101 km) From Schiphol there is a direct train connection to Arnhem. (A single ticket now costs about 19.50 euros)

Nearest airport

Weeze, Eindhoven, Dusseldorf, Schiphol

Getting Around

We have several shops and restaurants within walking distance. We have 3 bikes available (I can arrange a 4th if needed), which can take you a little further. You can also take the trollybus to go to the center of Arnhem for many shops or other things. And you can also easily take the train to the center or surrounding cities such as Nijmegen, Zutphen, Zwolle, 's Hertogenbosch, Amsterdam and Utrecht.

Kitty

Hello! We are Kitty (51), Tiaro (17) and Amber (15). We love traveling, discovering new adventures, and exploring the world. Meeting new people and experiencing each other’s way of life is one of the things we enjoy most about home exchange – it makes every experience extra special. We have been members of PLU for several years and also have plenty of experience with house- and pet-sitting through other platforms. You can count on us: we don’t smoke, and we are tidy, caring, and reliable. Since the children are still in school, we are tied to the school holidays for exchanges. But we are also open to hospitality or a Globe – we always enjoy welcoming others or being warmly welcomed ourselves.
