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.

Neighbourhood
There is a supermarket near the house. The station, shops and the weekly market (Friday and Saturday) are located in the center. There are two cinemas. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars in the city center. Dordrecht has many parks and it is fun to go over the dikes.
Getting to my home
Dordrecht station is only fifteen minutes by train from Rotterdam. Rotterdam would be the nearest airport, but Amsterdam or Eindhoven are also within easy reach. It is easy to get to my house by car.
Nearest airport
Rotterdam/The Hague Airport is 34 km away. Amsterdam/Schiphol is 85 km away. Eindhoven Airport is 88 km away.
Getting around
In Dordrecht it is easy to walk most places or use a city bike.
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 was a very nice and caring guest. It was nice to meet her and have a chat at the start of our exchange. She took care of our home very well; after coming home we barely noticed she stayed at our place. We are very happy that she enjoyed the house, our town Zwolle and its suroundings. We would be happy to host Anna again.
Anna looked after our home extremely well and prepared our house for our next guests. I would recommend Anna as a guest and would be happy to have her stay at our home in the future.
Anna was the perfect guest! Communication was seamless and she took good care of our home. We'd be happy to have her again!
We met Anna on Friday evening for dinner at our place and were able to show her the house, rabbits and cat. Anna took good care of our house and our pets - thank you!
Exchanging with Anne was like a dream! Very nice communicating: beforehand, during and after. She is super friendly and gave me great welcoming gifts from Zwolle. Also the best advise for visiting Panorama Hanze. Thank you for everything! The house is huge, very stylish, clean and with great atmosphere. Location is in the city Centre and all is comfortable and luxurious. Would be happy to exchange again :)
Anne is the guest you can totally trust! She stayed a girls weekend in my house. We were texting while, before and after the exchange. My home was tidy and clean, like the way you leave it behind: perfect. You are always welcome again in my house :)
Vicki and her husband and children were super guests. There was always good and fast communication and they took very good care of Mini (my cat). Always welcome! Thanks for everything :)
The house of Bruce and Sarah is fantastic! I had a wonderful stay in their very comfortable home. They made everything ready for my arrival. I enjoyed a lot their big kitchen, living room like a home cinema and the luxurious shower. Also the garden is great and using the bicycle made me discover all surroundings.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Anna!
We kept in touch using what's app and all communication was smooth and very friendly. Funny that we never really met but feels like friends :)
Vicki and Antonette are fantastic PLU members! They requested a couple of nights while my house was available in May. Beforehand we already spoke on the phone. Vicki is very sweet and caring. During their stay we kept in touch. They took great care of my cat Mini and the house was super clean when I returned. Welcome back anytime, thank you so much for the cheese and see you soon again!
What a wonderful stay at Vicki and her family's house! Everything was super clean and very spacious and comfortable. My room was tidy and I really enjoyed exploring Porto, Gaia and the surrounding area. Vicki left me a lovely bottle of green wine mmm :) thank you so much for everything. Loved the holiday and your family can stay in my house whenever you want. Stay in contact!
Sweet family in a lovely home! Thank you so much Jessie and family for welcoming me in your home and to the community lifestyle of People Like Us. The house is big and tidy and has all you need. The best for me was the big garden. The neighbourhood was good too and very near the station and city. Just a perfect home exchange! And with lots of extra's. A delicious welcome gift and loads of information. Merci!
Jessie and her family are fantastic guests. They took good care of my cat Mini and my house was even cleaner then before. When I returned I found a beautiful card on my table with a sweet message and even a nice plant. Thank you so much. Welcome back anytime!

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!
