Moving into an apartment in the Netherlands, and in Europe in general from what I understand, is an interesting experience to say the least. First and foremost, when the ad says an apartment is rented “bare,” that literally means nothing. Naked. As in, “you must buy the floor from us or we’re taking that, too,” bare. I bought the floor. And the blinds. And a bed. But that’s it. No fridge, stove, oven, microwave, light fixtures (though a few ugly ones did get left behind)…. you get the point.
Given the lack of furniture, I was very able to appreciate the actual space of my apartment upon my arrival. The light is lovely, the rooms are sweet, and the floor worth every penny.
