We had a spectacular stay at this truly lovely home, and a flawless experience with the owners. The space is beautifully maintained, exactly as it appears in the photos and is comfortable, spacious and cozy all at once. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook, there were plenty of towels in the bathroom and the welcome basket was full of fun local treats. Camilla was the most gracious and helpful host and communicative from the start. She gamely fielded my questions before and during our stay and was authentically eager to help. An all-round great experience.

Location, location, location! It doesn’t get any better than this. This house was spacious, clean and extremely well appointed. Our family had an amazing time. Communication with the homeowner was easy, quick and full of helpful details. I would highly recommend this listing to any family traveling and looking for a true Amsterdam living experience. Only cautionary note, the stairs may not be ideal for babies or elderly. We loved every bit of this amazing home!

Fantastic Spot in a Great Neighborhood

My family and I just spent a week at this place in Jordaan. I have nothing but great things to say. The apartment is great. Everything is exactly as the listing shows. But the big winner is the location. Jordaan is such a great neighborhood and the apartment is easy walking / biking distance to absolutely everything. And the hosts; Camilla and Adam are just lovely. Would absolutely stay again.

Delightful Dutch Days

We enjoyed five nights at Camilla’s canal front home. The space is gigantic and easily accommodated our family of 4, with two teenagers. It had everything we needed, a perfect location close to everything, a quiet canal, and the host was extremely helpful. We couldn’t be happier and would book again if we return to Amsterdam.

Absolutely Incredible Stay in Amsterdam

Visited Amsterdam for a week with my mom and brother and stayed here, it was absolutely perfect. The convenience of the location and beauty of the neighborhood cannot be overstated. Camilla was so friendly and helpful, she was a perfect host. The apartment itself was also so beautiful and the perfect place for us to unwind and recharge in between our adventures; the garden in the back was such a gem and a rare find. Look no further, this is the ideal place to stay while visiting Amsterdam!

This was the perfect location and ideal space for the four of us. We were able to bike and walk everywhere, explore the wonderful neighborhood and come home to a very comfortable space that allowed us to relax together and have privacy as well.

Great house in Jordaan

The house is on a beautiful canal street, and Camilla and Adam were very helpful hosts. The property gave us lots of room to spread out and enjoy Amsterdam. The beds were comfortable and we had a great time! Pictures are accurate and give a good idea of what to expect. The stairs are quite narrow and steep, so this house is best for adults and children old enough to manage the stairs. Not suitable for small children or anyone who would have trouble with a narrow staircase. There is a toilet on the ground floor and a full bathroom on the third floor. It was a great stay in a lovely part of Amsterdam. Thank you to Camilla and Adam for making us feel welcome!

Perfect House in a wonderful neighbour hood with lovely owners as neighbours

Lauriergracht is a beautifully appointed house with everything you need for a comfortable and fun stay in Amsterdam. Camilla was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. We spent a lot of time in the house due to the rainy weather and really enjoyed the TV/sofa area and the big kitchen table. I highly recommend this house for a family holiday or a holiday with friends.

Great location, comfortable and peaceful home

From the start, we felt welcomed and at home. The owner welcomed us at check-in, and oriented us to the neighborhood and house. After our long travels, we appreciated thoughtful touches including fresh flowers and local treats. The location is spectacular along a smaller canal and next to a wonderful cafe, and just moments from interesting restaurants, grocery stores and shops. We bicycled everywhere, which was exciting and whipped us into better physical condition in a few days, so we enjoyed coming home each evening to this quiet, comfortable retreat. Many thanks to the hosts for making this home available to travelers!

Amazing home and location

The house is unique and beautiful, with wonderful views from all of the windows. It was accurately described and photographed. Camilla was a responsive and helpful host from before our arrival and throughout our trip. She helped get us settled in time with our arrival, even though it was prior to the property’s check in time. The house is an easy walk to museums and markets. If you are tired, it is easy to take the tram within a couple of blocks. There are only positives when staying at this property :)

You cannot beat the location of this house. Everything was supplied by our hosts for an amazing stay here, and to be able to walk or ride everywhere. The welcome gift was much appreciated and all toiletries were provided. The tv area had a really comfortable sectional for relaxing, reading etc. It was a bit difficult to get our heavy bags up those steps but was good exercise😊 great outdoor seating in front and back and very short walk to coffee shops and attractions. Nothing to do but enjoying Amsterdam!

Dream house in a magical location

My mother and I made a last minute request to stay at Camilla’s house, only a few days before Christmas. Camilla couldn’t have been responsive, accommodating, or inviting. She had thought of every possible one of our needs upon our arrival, not to mention, a Christmas tree! The house is airy and open. The location central and quiet. There isn’t a better house in better location with better hosts. Thank you!!

Delightful

The townhouse is everything you could possibly need or want. We felt at home immediately. The home was spotless & comfortable with wonderful treats left by the homeowner Camilla. The kitchen is full supplied with coffee, teas, spices etc. The backyard was lovely to sip cocktails in the afternoon. The tv area was delightfully comfortable for late night relaxing. The neighborhood is wonderful, coffee shops, pastry, great restaurants. We loved the Jordaan vibe! Camilla was such a warm host, can't thank you enough! Hope to see you next year.

Authentic Canal House

Such a great place, very nice kitchen and living area. We really enjoyed those floors. Felt that the third floor bedroom could have used better lighting and the damaged shades were not very welcoming. Just felt sparse. Biggest concern was the fourth floor- such a nice bedroom area but no railing on stairs seems dangerous and very difficult to navigate.

The best area of Amsterdam!

We had such an amazing stay at this home. The home is absolutely storybook perfect and is located in one of the best neighborhoods. We travel often to Amsterdam and usually stay in the hotel that hosts a yearly conference we attend. This year we decided to bring our teenaged grandkids with us and were interested in having a private home. We could not have been more pleased! The home is located right on a canal and within walking distance of artisanal butchers and bakers, with local chain groceries available as well. We were surrounded by great restaurants (book Men Impossible when you reserve the house) and a fabulous bagel shop (Bread Winner) just across the canal. Camilla let us borrow her cat, bikes for the kids, and umbrellas for our stay. We could not have asked for a better host, or house.

About the host

Hosted by Camilla Scholten-Dorrell

Host profile image
We are a family of 6 and we live in the heart of the most beautiful area in Amsterdam. We love traveling and we like sharing our home with other families.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing else out there like our home! It is a complete canal-side house which is rare in Amsterdam, we bought this home because we felt it had everything we wanted for our family. It boasts a comfortable outside for dining and lounging, the home is nicely laid-out with two sleeping floors in the top of the house with bathrooms on each floor. There are two living spaces so the kids can watch TV or play and 'hang' in a separate part of the house. The home is big enough to play, work, relax and entertain friends in. The area the home is situated in is right in the middle of everything yet the canal is quiet and intimate. Shops, museums, the Anne Frank House are all just around the corner. We feel very lucky to live here and we want to share it with nice families out there who are looking for special homes to spend their holidays in. Our home is not designed for renting, it is designed to live in with older children and adults and each and everyone should be comfortable. We have over time done several restorations to the house as it is a protected property from the 17th century. Our home has a very nice and warm vibe, people love to visit and we have hosted many friends here over the years...

What makes this property unique

Classy, family home, 17th century with all the modern amenities. Best location!
