Overall, I had a good experience with this apartment.
The Good:
1. The landlord is great. I wasn’t always the perfect tenant and even missed a few payments, but he was always calm and respectful.
2. The apartment itself is well worth the price.
3. The neighborhood is wonderful. I still believe Belgisch Park is the best area to live in The Hague. The vibe is friendly and relaxed. True Scheveningen atmosphere.
4. The neighbors were awesome — had great relationships with them.
5. Community. People in the area know each other, are supportive, and organize events for kids. It’s a very connected community.
The Bad and the Ugly:
I didn’t have many issues, but a few stand out:
1. Once, the window in my bedroom was blown away by the wind. The property managers (PR Housing) were slow to address it, and I lived for nearly two months without a window. I had to push the landlord to get the property managers moving. Eventually, it was fixed, and I received €1250 off my rent (fair enough), but it wasn’t an ideal experience.
2. Another time, I started my dishwasher and went for an evening walk on the beach. When I returned, the fire brigade was at my place. The dishwasher had leaked and caused water damage to the downstairs neighbor’s pipes. Thankfully, I got a new dishwasher quickly, and the landlord handled the repairs with the neighbor.
3. Although I had wonderful neighbors overall, there was one elderly neighbor who frequently complained about noise, even though I didn’t host parties or play loud music. Eventually, she stopped talking to me and would sometimes mutter rude comments, but it was harmless and didn’t disrupt my daily life.
4. Only €400 from my €1350 were returned.
Overall, I can recommend this apartment.
