General Overview
The neighborhood is quiet and yet the historic center is only a kilometer away, the same goes for the train station. Dordrecht is an island (with plenty of 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 Biesbosch National Park 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 rear. Three bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a double bed (1.60x2.00m). The guest room has a double bed (1.40x2.00m.). Baby room with cot and changing table. In the bathroom there is a shower and toilet on the upper floor and another toilet on the ground floor. Free parking and I have two bikes you can borrow!
Guest Access
There are two floors, but I also have a cellar in my house. And an attic/attic. Usually this is used for storage or laundry.
Notes
I have a home guide with all the information!

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 centre. 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 easy to reach. My house is easy to reach by car/free parking.
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 you can walk or use a city bike in most places. I have a car, Citroën C3 (5 doors) that we can exchange or that you can use.
We kept in touch with Anna before and during her visit to beautiful Twente. First alone and then together with her mother. So we didn't meet each other but we know she had a good time, saw nice pictures and from our help we heard later that she left it very tidy. In the fall we will visit her house.
Excellent exchange again!!!
The house is very welcoming, true to the photos! The charm of Dutch houses ;) In a quiet and easy area to park the car. Also perfect for cycling! We spent pleasant evenings in Anna's beautiful living room. Close to a supermarket and not very far from the train station (to go to Rotterdam). We highly recommend Anna's House from Dordrecht! Very pretty town indeed! 😍
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!
"We had the pleasure of welcoming Anna and the sweet, little Mia as guests. What a nice experience! They took care of our house with great care and respect and visibly enjoyed their stay during our absence. The communication was smooth and pleasant – we had almost daily contact via WhatsApp and received beautiful photos of the beautiful weather in our own environment and the beautiful Maashorst area. It felt personal and familiar. We look forward to organizing the agreed exchange in the future, in a non-simultaneous manner. Absolutely recommended!"
Anna was the perfect guest, kind and considerate! We invited her for dinner both nights she was here and enjoyed her company and hearing about her extensive travels. She is conscientious and respectful and welcome back here anytime. Anna came all the way from Dordrecht (approximately 70 km one way) by regular bike which we thought was really impressive.
This was a great exchange and we can recommend a stay in Anna’s home in Dordrecht and/or hosting her!
Anna is an easy going plu partner.She is a good housekeeper.More than welcome next time.x
A very simple and easy exchange! We were able to communicate by WhatsApp and exchange lots of practical details. Anna had prepared our welcome in her house very well (there was a lot of tourist information available, small gifts, etc.). And even though we didn't see each other, we were able to communicate during the stay by sending each other photos! Anna is a very friendly person who was willing to take care of our cat! THANK YOU Anna for this beautiful exchange 🤩 🤗
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!
Wow, it was all great! Great home exchange with Marjon and family :-) While they went on a skiing holiday, Mia and I were able to go to Uden. We kept in touch before and during via Whats App and it is also very nice that the neighbors are family. The mega house has everything and more. What I especially liked was the garden and the surroundings. The days were sunny and I made a number of beautiful walks from the ANWB Brabant booklet. Everything had been thought of, there was a frenzied welcome package with homemade products <3 Marjon and Jan, see you soon in Dordrecht, we are still planning it. Thanks again for everything!
Debby and Lu are very experienced home exchangers. They are friendly, caring and always helpful. We kept in touch via what's app and before I went to Hengelo we had a video call. It feels like new friends. The days in and around Hengelo were great. I was very happy to use the E-bike and have the spacious clean apartment in the center. A big plus is the balcony! My mother came along for a few days, this was also no problem and made my vacation a paradise. Thank you very much! We will keep in touch and see you in Dordrecht :)
Like a dream! Location, view, comfort, clean. True paradise :) Vicki and Antonette did everything to make my stay like a fantastic holiday. Wonderful welcoming gifts and great communication. I was extremely lucky because got invited twice for delicious dinners mmm so tasty. They spoiled me so much. Also providing healthy breakfasts so I got enough power and energy for my activities. They also helped with all the walking and cycling routes. Definitely very experienced PLU members and from now onwards new friends :-) You are always welcome in my house! Stay in touch :)
The house of Mieke is perfect for a holiday! The house is big and has all you need: nice hall, kitchen and the living room on the first floor. All very comfortable and full of art. On the second floor was the bedroom, where I slept very good. The neighborhood was wonderful :) Great area to discover and really loved it! Antwerp is an amazing city and my days were filled with visiting museums, cycling around, seeing parks, art, cafes, shops etc. I can totally recommend staying/ home exchanging with Mieke.
Beautiful home that really felt like home :-) The house is big, clean and with great energy. Me and my parents loved it. So nice to take care of Tokyo. We slept very good in the rooms, and all was there. The garden around the house is perfect. We explored the hidden gem Vitre, a true paradise place. We also went on trips to walk at the lake of Chevre, saw Rennes, Chateaubourg and Fougeres. All lovely, a fantastic holiday!
Benoit and Manuela created an What's App group with me so we could easily communicate already before the exchange. We shared information and responded fast and with nice pictures too. It was smooth communicating that way. In the house is a perfect home guide. There were presents for me and my parents when we arrived. Super sweet and generous, made us feel very welcome. The cat Tokyo is the sweetest and easy to take care of. Anytime welcome again! My house was very tidy and clean when I came back, just the perfect guests, I could totally trust!!
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!
