Absolutely gorgeous apartment in close proximity to all you want to see and do in Amsterdam! I very highly recommend. Excellent location in Central Amsterdam. Easy access to public transportation options. Our Dutch Host, Reinier, was fluent in English, kind, easy to communicate with and responsive to all our inquiries. The apartment is very close to the largest canal with coffee shops and restaurants all within easy walking distance.
This large apartment is on two levels with beautiful furnishings, plants, tall ceilings, lovely original artwork, and 3 outdoor areas (including a rooftop deck to watch the city views and sunset). The building overlooks a park area and we felt like we were in the countryside with all of the lush trees, flowers and birds. We enjoyed taking our coffee each morning on the private terrace adjacent to the well stocked kitchen. Multiple windows flood the space with beautiful natural light. There is a fireplace for colder evenings (along with central heat). Since we stayed there in August 2022, we did not use the fireplace, but opened the windows and french doors to enjoy all the natural cool cross breezes.
Amenities included a W/D, Netflix, nespresso machine with pods, fast WIFI, a lovely en-suite main bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. There is also a separate large office area with a sofa and chair. A bathroom is conveniently located on each level.
As with most historical Dutch homes, there are steep "dutch stairs". We had no problem with the stairs whatsoever but if you, or someone in your party, is mobility impaired - it might not be the best fit.
I had slight trepidation in booking since this apartment was new and had no reviews yet; however, we were so delighted when we arrived as the apartment is exquisite! We could not believe our good luck. This is the best Airbnb that we have ever stayed in - absolutely charming. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I hope to stay there again on another trip to Amsterdam. Book with total confidence.
