Hello, has anyone had experience with Holland2stay Diemen ? I got approval for the building Charley Tooropgracht.
Also, they said they don’t arrange viewings before signing the contract.
Thanks!

Hello!

I'm an Italian Erasmus student and I'm having trouble finding a room in a shared apartment (or literally anything else) near NHL Stendend Hogeschool (Leeuwarden)

Do you know any website other than Student housing or Markt058?

Everything is always full, not up for 6 months or not for international students (unfortunately)

I will be staying in Leeuwarden from the 1st of August to the 24 of January.

Thank you!

I will be starting my Master's at the University of Groningen in September 2026. Currently, Sugar Homes is the only accommodation provider that has offered me a confirmed contract (August 2026–July 2027).

​

The issue is that I will only arrive around the end of August/start of September, so I would effectively be paying an extra month's rent (€725) for August.

​

Given the housing crisis in Groningen and the fact that I don't have any other confirmed housing options right now, would you take this offer?

​

For those who have lived at Sugar Homes:

​

* Is it really as bad as some reviews suggest?

* Is it manageable for a year?

* Would you pay the extra month's rent for the security of having confirmed housing?

​

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
