Leiden is approc one sixt the size of amsterdam and the connection leiden-AMS is fairly poor. Than better choose Haarlem. Commuting AMS-the Hague will take you approx 45minutes/train

kirin52 said:Do you have a clean and quiet bedroom to rent for two days a week (not weekends), with attached bath or access to one??
I am a very quiet professional woman needing to arrive in the evening and leave in the morning. A (family) home with an guest room or 'in-law' would be perfect. Not interested in student accomodations.

An easy way to make extra money if you have a room that is not used during the week!... more

people leave reviews on their previous accomodation and landlords, so you can double check your potiential new appartment there!

you can also get some legal assistance on how to avoid fraudulent behavior from landlords and get your contract checked!

hmm hardly an effective search method.... obvious it's all complainers overthere try introduce yourself by posting a search add on www.marktplaats.nl or www.speurders.nl takes more time but you don't pay agents fee or check out www.kamernet.nl www.funda.nl or check out the agents platform www.pararius.nl or hire an agent :-)

if you keep the "business description"open to a variety of things so you can also do cleaning, gardening, light-construction work etc etc it should be possible to make some money... nice taxadvantages too... you'll pay ample taxes for the first 30000 profits
