  • I highly recommend Rotterdam Rental Service. I found Ruben while looking for a broker to help my son with housing for his semester abroad. The housing market in Rotterdam is very challenging. Ruben set my expectations and found a beautiful property for my son and his friend. Unfortunately, the friend backed out so were were not able to complete the transaction. Ruben was so professional and helpful as I looked to transition to a studio/one bedroom. We had a lot of back and forth and he is A++. I would not hesitate to reach back out to him should I need assistance in the future. Thank you Ruben!
