Two months at a Limehome: the story of Jil and Jaimy
April 17, 2025 • 4 min read
Modern, stylish apartments in European cities offer comfortable accommodation for a few days. Yet these apartments are also ideal for those needing a temporary home, whether for professional or personal reasons.
When life took an unexpected turn for influencer couple Jil and Jaimy, their dreams of travelling the world in a van were put on hold. They needed a place to heal and regroup. They found solace in a Limehome apartment in The Hague.
A new beginning
A serviced apartment in The Hague that felt like home
Jil and Jaimy’s story is a powerful example of how a serviced apartment can become more than just a short-term stay — it can be a place to rest, recover, and rebuild.
In 2022, the couple set off to travel the world in their van, having given up their apartments and jobs. But after a serious accident in Namibia, their plans took a dramatic turn. Jil required extensive rehabilitation, and Jaimy had recently left his job in the Netherlands. Life on the road was no longer an option.
From van life to a flexible long-term stay
Suddenly, they needed a peaceful and comfortable space to recover – somewhere to pause, refocus, and begin again. While they were lucky to find a long-term apartment that suited Jil’s recovery needs, it wasn’t available right away.
That’s when they chose to stay at Limehome The Hague Keizerstraat, a serviced apartment in a central yet quiet location. They spent two months there and quickly fell in love with the charm of The Hague.
“We needed a place where we could simply feel comfortable, where I could recover, and Jaimy could work,” Jil shared on Instagram.
“I also feel more at ease in the Netherlands than in Germany – and it’s just a three-hour drive.”
Comfortable, flexible living in The Hauge
For Jil and Jaimy, the Limehome serviced apartment in The Hague offered exactly what they needed: comfort, privacy, and flexibility. It wasn’t just a temporary stop – it was a turning point.
