My wife and I, along with our three-year old daughter, have stayed in this apartment three times. We absolutely love the apartment and it is the first place we try to book when we know we will be returning to Amsterdam. Over the years, we have rented many apartments in Amsterdam and this place is our favorite.
The apartment is perfect for a stay in Amsterdam. It is bright, airy, open, and well appointed. It has everything you need: a full kitchen stocked with everything, a full sized refrigerator, a full bar (also stocked!) comfortable couches and chairs, cool artwork on the walls, a great view of the Westerkerk. Everything is spotless upon arrival. The floors are shiny, the kitchen, wc, bathroom, and bedroom are all meticulously clean. The refrigerator is not only spotless but there is often little things left to help make the first day easy (like coffee!).
The bedroom has plenty of closet space, the bed itself is comfortable, the room is light and bright during the day and the curtains make it dark and quiet at night. There is a computer in the bedroom and wifi is available throughout the apartment. For us, it really is our home away from home.
The location is perfect. It is directly across the street from the Westerkerk and the Anne Frank House. It is a five minute walk to Dam Square and not much longer to the Nine Streets area. Right in front of the apartment is three tram stops. From there you can get to anywhere in the city including Central Station. Just down the street from the apartment is an Albert Heijn market which makes it incredibly convenient to buy groceries. There are numerous shops, cafes, restaurants (including a terrific Indian restaurant) and a bike rental shop next door to the apartment. You couldn’t ask for a better location in Amsterdam. As a tourist, the location of the apartment is exactly where you want to be.
Upon arrival, the manager Sylvia gives a full tour of the apartment, shows how to work the various appliances like the washing machine and dryer, and will answer any question about the apartment or Amsterdam. The last time we stayed here she even gave us her tram card after we mentioned we hadn’t picked one up yet. She also worked her schedule around our very early arrival time from our international flight so we could get into the apartment right away.
In short, we cannot recommend this apartment more highly. It is the best place we’ve ever rented in Amsterdam and we have every intention of staying here again.
