Amsterdam is a safe environment where by now English is the second language. When asked most people will be helpfull in providing directions.
The apartment has two bedrooms. The big room with a King-size bed and the other room has two separate normal beds that can be put together. As we do not have very hot summers with high humidity,
an airconditioning system is not nessecary.
The apartment is one of two luxury apartments which are identical in size and style.
The only difference are the colors. The apartment on the first floor, is called "The Royal Orange" Apartment.
The other one is called "The Delfts Blue Apartment".
Both apartments have each four beds and are decorated very tastefully and with respect for the historical background of the house, by famous Dutch home designer: Edward van Vliet.
They can be rented seperately or together.
The character of the house is defined by the famous Dutch Golden Age Admiral 'Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter'.
His cunning seamanship combined with excellent military leadership made him the most succesfull defender of Dutch merchants sailing the world seas.
Admiral Michiel de Ruyter once was the owner if this beautifully, restored house. It is located along the IJ-harbour where the proud ocean traveling vessels were ancored while preparing for their next voyage to the Indies.
We have tried to preserve the unique historical character of the building while calling out the rich history of its most famous first owner 'Admiral Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter'.
We do hope to see you here and wish you already a most pleasant stay at the "MICHIEL DE RUYTER HOUSE".
Important: we ask for a Euro 400.00 deposit in cash upon arrival which will be refunded prior to your departure, minus the cleaning fee of Euro 65.00 .

In that period Amsterdam became the leading trade capital in the world, and the most famous Admiral in Dutch naval history was the owner of this eye catching and beautifull building.
We have renovated the house with respect for it's history, but very tastefully and with the best materials. The views over the old harbour, and (as we are on a corner), on a typical Amsterdam canal are breathtaking, as if you are sitting in front of a constantly changing painting. Furthermore, you can enjoy a good kitchen, bathroom, new beds and matrasses and more.
Most important, you will stay in a clean and fresh apartment!
