About this property

Lovely 1st Floor Apartment in Historic Canal House, Jordaan, Center, Amsterdam

Cosy 1 bedroom apartment in a historic canal house in a quiet and very popular residential area on the Amsterdam city island 'Prinseneiland', The island is like an old fashioned village within the center of Amsterdam, and is inhabited by a nice mixture of artists, expats and traditional Amsterdam people, close to the canals and main city’s attractions.

The apartment has a very nice feel with an 'authentic' style, an open, fully equipped kitchen in the living-room, a private bathroom with shower, wireless internet, a TV with international channels and of course a coffee maker. In the bedroom is a double bed and in the living there is a couch which can be made into a comfortable double bed as well, if you like to sleep seperately. (costs for extra bedlinen is 10 euro). Bookings are for 2 guests max, a baby is counted as 1 person according to the local rules!
Everything in this apartment is in great condition!

The neighborhood is ideal located at about a 10 minutes walking distance from the busy city center with lots of restaurants and shops, The Ann Frank House, the Central Railway Station, the Red Light District, Dam Square and Westerpark and 3 nice markets on Mondays (arts and crafts-), Wednesdays (organic-) and Saturdays (farmers-).

In short, the perfect place to stay when in Amsterdam!

Had a wonderful 3 night stay in this very cute and comfortable apartment. Emmy, the host, was there to greet us upon arrival to show us around the apartment and give us a run down on this charming and quiet community. The apartment was well equipped and very clean. Great location walkable to shopping, dining, markets and tourist areas. Only a short Uber ride to train station and cruise port. Stairs are steep like most traditional Dutch homes so if you have mobility issues book the ground floor unit which is just as lovely!

It was a lovely quiet peaceful haven. In a family neighborhood within walking distance of the busy city. Very narrow stairs to walk up and down, especially with luggage. So you must be agile!

This is our second stay here and it’s perfect! Quiet neighborhood just a short walk to everything you want in the center without all the noise and drunks. Emmy was great as we had some last minute arrival scheduling problems on our end and she made it work. We love her and this fabulous apartment.

Place was within an easy bus ride of Central Station and even a walkable distance.Emmy gave us great directions and was there greet us and help us get our luggage up the very steep stairs.We loved the neighborhood- very quiet and felt like locals. Emmy had lots of suggestions for groceries, cafes and pubs. 5 minute walk to Haarlemmerplein Square which has lots of stores and bus/tram connections.Only minor complaint is no a/c and was very warm in the apartment.

Emmy is a delight

Emmy’s 1st floor (which means upstairs in Europe) met our needs and enabled us to walk to most things of interest. It is on a nice quiet street in a quiet neighborhood. Emmy kindly pointed out where to find what and how to operate various things in the apartment. The layout required going through the bathroom to access the bedroom, which meant privacy had to be pre-arranged. The afore-mentioned stairs were tricky for the eldest guest, but Emmy was helpful in getting the bags up and down. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Quaint little getaway

We enjoyed the small but cozy apt. close to the #21 bus and #5 tram that brought us where we needed to go. Close to Westerpaark and yet still quiet giving us a nice feel for the city life of this busy yet quaint part of town. Would definately stay again.

Comfy apartment in great location

The apartment was very comfy and had everything we needed. It is in a brilliant location - tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood with bags of character yet a short walk from the main sights. Emmy was welcoming and told us a bit about the area including a great local bar/restaurant ('t Blauhooft) which was friendly and had good food/beer. Highlights of our stay included Keukenhof and the Anne Frank Jewish Quarter Walking Tour. We'd definitely stay here again.
