Holiday Link
My friend Kate told me about Holiday Link where you could stay in houses in Holland while the owners were on vacation.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a Rotterdam house available for me when I needed it.
This Dutch-language site facilitates a symbiotic relationship between two types of vacationers.
One group goes on vacation and wants someone to stay in their house to care for plants and pets as well as prevent their house becoming an empty target for thieves while they are away.
The other group, the house sitters, are mostly active senior citizens from Holland and Belgium who have the 'retired life' schedule that doesn't require them to plan too far in advance.
In some cases, they have emigrated and Holiday Link provides a low-cost opportunity for a vacation in their native country.
Some of the housesitters simply use Holiday Link to find a temporary dwelling while in between the buying and selling of their own homes or while their house is under construction.
