Living in The Hague
Two months at limehome: the story of Jil and Jaimy
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
Jil and Jaimy’s story shows how a serviced apartment can be more than just a short-term stop. In 2022, their lives took an unexpected turn after a serious accident in Namibia. They had given up their apartments, excited to travel the world in their van. But with Jil needing extensive rehabilitation and Jaimy having quit his job in the Netherlands just before the trip, their plans were suddenly disrupted. Living in a van was no longer an option.
Instead, they needed a place to rest and recover – a space where they could reorient themselves and begin again. Though they were fortunate enough to find an accessible long-term apartment, there was still a gap before they could move in. That’s when they chose our limehome The Hague Keizerstraat, where they spent two months and fell in love with the city’s unique charm.
“We needed a place where we could simply feel comfortable, where I could recover, and Jaime 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.”
A temporary home
For Jil and Jaimy, the limehome in The Hague became a true temporary home. As they gradually regained their lives, the apartment offered them the necessary comfort and privacy they needed during this difficult time.
Their story shows that limehome is not just an option for short city trips but also an ideal choice for extended stays. The flexible booking options, high-quality amenities and home-like comfort make limehome the perfect solution for anyone looking for a place to stay for an extended period, whether for personal or professional reasons.

As the political heart of the Netherlands, The Hague brims with cultural history, world-class museums and striking architecture. Its lively neighborhoods invite exploration and relaxation.
But The Hague’s real magic lies in its natural beauty. Just minutes from the bustling city center, the North Sea coast awaits. Here, tranquil beaches and serene dunes offer a peaceful escape. This perfect harmony of vibrant city life and soothing nature makes The Hague an ideal spot to recharge, explore and live at your own pace.
