We stayed at Hannie (and Sipke)’s place for 4 weeks in march 2022 while moving to Amsterdam from abroad. We have been very lucky to get this little marvel.
It’s not your usual airbnb with random decoration that could feel like something seen before. It’s actually a real studio with everything you could hope to have in your own place, but with on the top of that a care for details in how the space and materials are set and some good humanity that make this place a home.
The bed is huge, clean and very comfortable with the possibility to turn it in a sitting position (for both). Plenty of storage for all the clothes in the world in very nice drawers.
There is a lovely little table from a french bistro with nice chairs where you are conformable to have all your meals as well as a conformable sofa with its big table to enjoy an apero in front of the TV. The kitchen is impressive for an airbnb with gas stove, oven and all the utensils you could want to realise your chef dreams. The lighting has clearly been consciously thought to provide a delicate atmosphere at the end of a long visit in Amsterdam. The bathroom is beautifully made and elegant, with very efficient ventilation.
There’re also big windows which give lots of light in the room but with 2 layers of curtains to provide all the intimacy you can wish.
Talking about intimacy, the neighbourhood is very quiet and agreeable. A 5 min walk will provide 2 supermarkets with everything you can need. At the same place the tram station brings you in 25 min to the center of Amsterdam, which I find more agreeable than the bus which is even closer to the flat. If you need a walk in nature there is 5 min from there a very nice natural reserve you can walk around.
Finally, the best part of this place is Hannie (and Sipke) who can be as ready to help you for anything as completely in retreat to give you total privacy.
If you want real comfort this place is for you. I mean at the end of a touristic day you want to really recharge yourself mentally and physically, that place does it very well. And honestly the 25 min tram trip is and reliable (Dutch transport) and you won’t even feel it thanks to the scenery of Amsterdam streets. Enjoy.
