This is my fourth time visiting Amsterdam. I was a little nervous about booking accommodations on the “other side of the water” as I have always booked accommodations close to Central Station or in the Jordaan district.
Well, as it turns out, this is my favorite place I’ve ever stayed in Amsterdam! The location is exceptional - giving you amazingly easy access to central Amsterdam whilst placing you in an environment that feels works away from the buzz of Amsterdam city centre.
Not only is the house itself oozing with character and charm, surrounded by a gorgeous large sunny garden (home to a family of chickens) ... this place even has a natural stone swimming pool which attracts seabirds such as a giant crane we found this morning as we were leaving... and again our minds are blown that we are only five minutes from centraal by foot! Accommodations themselves are cozy and super comfortable. We were extremely lucky with the weather as the weekend we had here was mid 20s the entire time despite being October... our friends sleeping in the upstairs loft did find it a little hot but we were more than comfortable in the downstairs built in bed.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this cool and quirky Airbnb to anyone looking for an entirely unique experience in an unbeatable location. We would be hesitant to recommend this place however to people with mobility issues or the very tall as the roof pitch of the upstairs bedroom is low... in any case we hope this Airbnb does not become too popular as we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in future. Thanks Nancy for creating such a fantastic place!!! :))
