A beautiful well appointed apartment in a central location!

The property was roomy and immaculate. It was very comfortable with a large bed and living room. The kitchenette provided everything we needed for self catering if we wanted to eat in. Very easy to shop for food with a supermarket close by and easy access to public transport and all the sights of interest with canals on the doorstep. Our host was very helpful and greeted us upon arrival. Would definitely recommend this fabulous apartment.

Wonderful stay

Ideal apartment for our short break, being able to sit out on the balcony was a big bonus. Communication with Astrid before we arrived, and during our stay, was excellent, she was always there with helpful advice. Jordaan is an ideal area to stay in, it has a really good selection of shops, restaurants and bars, with a nice atmosphere on an evening. However the centre of town isn't too far away, easy walking distance or, if you are not a walker, by tram from the end of the road. Thank you Astrid and family for a wonderful short stay in your apartment, we will definitely stay with you again if we visit Amsterdam in the future. J and J

Fantastic Experience !

We ended up 12 hours late at the property due to a cancelled flight and Jan the owner was so accommodating and made us feel really welcome . He met us late in the evening and explained everything so professionally about the beautiful apartment . The place was so nicely furnished and spotlessly clean . Beds were super comfy and showers really nice . Jan also supplied some hot and cold drinks and snacks which were much appreciated . It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this place to stay . 5 stars all the way . We will return and thanks for your amazing hospitality and tips on the area Jan . Cheers Bev and Jason
