Possibly, but only if the home and host situation allow it. Ask directly about registration, mail, and local requirements before making plans.
Bike distance, steep stairs, storage, shared entrances, and house rules often matter as much as square meters.
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague are the main Dutch city pages, each with different commute and housing patterns.
