IMPORTANT
Starting from JANUARY 1st 2026 this accommodation, along with most others in Amsterdam, will only be able to host 2 people, in one room. This is due to further licensing restrictions imposed by the Council. If you can’t find accommodations sleeping 4 and are willing to split up your group you can get back to me for a quote.
THE SPACE
The accommodation is located on the 3rd and 4th floor of a late 19th century building, one block away from the lively Jordaan district (and the western edge of the historical centre), but in a very quiet area.
The bedroom (free of any personal stuff and clothes) has 2 single boxspring beds, which allow you to combine them according to your needs: one double or two singles.
On the same floor there is a bathroom -with floor heating- with bathtub and large sink and a separate wc with small sink. Both have marble flooring.
The accommodation is also perfectly equipped to host one baby aged 0-2, since we have baby cot and bedding, diapers changing pads, two different high chairs and stair gates at both ends of the inner staircase.
We also have a nice and sunny balcony overlooking a marvelous and quiet court.
Entrance at 3rd floor and bedrooms on the 4th, with no lift and pretty steep stairs, therefore possibly unsuitable for elderly people or people with mobility issues or carrying very heavy and bulky luggage.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The best thing about our neighborhood is enjoying great tranquillity while living literally two steps away from some of the best restaurants, shops and markets in town, and having the most popular spots (Dam Square, Canal Belt, Westerkerk, Central Station, Anne Frank's House, Red Light District, Leidseplein...) within walking distance.
If you don't fancy a walk or renting a bike there's trams and buses leading you everywhere in town.
Our area itself is a strongly up and coming one, thanks to fantastic redeveloping projects like the Westergasfabriek and, more recently, De Hallen.
WALKING
Everything in the center, the up and coming West neighborhood and the Museum Quarter are literally within walking distance.
BIKING
Plenty of bike rentals in the area.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Tram 3 leads you to the Museumplein and De Pijp.
Tram 5 to the Leidseplein.
Buses 18 or 21 to Central Station. Bus 21 in the opposite direction to P+R Bos en Lommer (the closest Park & Ride, 10 minutes away).
PARKING
Parking in Amsterdam is very expensive (6 euro per hour in my area and 7,50 just one block away in the Jordaan!), but there's the cheap alternative of the P+R (Park + Ride) arrangements.
It costs 8 euro for the first 24 hours and then 1 euro per day if you arrive before 10:00 or just 1 euro per day if you arrive after 10:00, and you can get discounted public transport tickets to get to the final destination and back to the parking.
The address of the closest one (P+R Bos en Lommer) is Leeuwendalersweg 23B.
If that is full you can turn to the P+R Sloterdijk (Piarcoplein 1).
CANCELATION
Regardless of official cancelation policy, I refund up to 100% if the accommodation is booked again on the same nights. If less nights are booked you are still getting back the money made by this new reservation.
A personal travel insurance is nowadays a must for every traveller, though.
CHECK-IN
Baggage drop can at any time, even early in the morning.
Check-in can from 12:00 or at any time if the previous guests have left already (otherwise luggage drop only). But the accommodation can only be accessed once the cleanup is finished, and the time may vary (usually it's around 15:00).
Due to bad past experiences, check-in is performed in front of the whole group, or with no more than one guest missing.
If one or two guests arrive earlier than the others they can still come leave their luggage but will have to wait for the arrival of the rest of the group to properly check in.
Exceptions are only made for mature/elderly travelers.
CHECKOUT
Check-out is at 12:00, but if no one's coming on that day or comes pretty late it's possible to arrange a later checkout time.
It's still possible to leave the luggage until your desired time.
SMOKING
Smoking is only allowed on the balcony, and taking precautions against the fall of ashes and buds onto my neighbour's backyard.
EXTRA PEOPLE
The accommodation is only equipped to sleep 2 people.
That's the legal maximum, too. And it's a very important requirement by the Council.
Under no circumstance we can allow extra people, at any time during your stay.
