Amazing Apartment! I couldn’t be happier with my stay at Remco’s apartment and would highly recommend. All communications with Remco leading up to the booking and after were easy and clear. He responded quickly and answered all my questions. He was on holiday when we arrived but had arranged for a colleague to meet us. The gentlemen showed us around and even gave us great tips about the area.
The apartment is exactly as pictured and described. It is perfectly clean, well-organized, decorate nicely and equipped with everything we needed. It is on the 3rd floor so once you enter the building you need to climb a few flights of stairs, which is very typical of Amsterdam. The neighborhood is amazing. This home is in the Jordaan District of Amsterdam…best restaurants, great shopping, beautiful parks, and NOT touristy. It is still within walking distance to the Anne Frank House and many other attractions. There is a Spanish tapas restaurant, Chinese restaurant, and Italian eatery within steps of the house. A small market with everything you could want from toothpaste to baklava is less than a minutes’ walk. There is also a grocery store, drugstore, bakery, butcher, Laundromat, restaurants and shopping all within 5 minutes’ walk. A short bike ride or walk will get you to centraal station.
This apartment is perfect for a family of four but can sleep five. It has lots of natural light and an open concept design. The main level has a nice sized kitchen/dining with sink, gas cook top, oven/microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker (pod style.) There is plenty of cabinet’s filled with glassware, dinnerware, utensils, and cookware. The dining area has a large rectangular table that seats 8 comfortably. A set of French doors opens onto a small deck. The living area has a nice sectional, arm chair, stool, coffee table, television, and bean bag. The windows in the living room overlook the quite street. The canal is at the end of the block with picturesque views!
The upstairs is accessed by a spiral type staircase. At the top of the stairs is a powder room with sink and toilet. There are two large bedrooms on opposite ends of the second level. Bedroom One has two small windows overlooking the street and a queen bed that can be split into two singles. There is also enough room for an air mattress (this is the 5th bed). Bedroom One has a bathroom with separate tub and shower, sink, and toilet. This bedroom also has a small closet with washer/dryer combo. Bedroom Two is at the opposite end of the hall and has a nice window and queen bed that can be split into two singles if required. There is a bathroom in this bedroom with separate tub and shower and sink (no toilet.) Both bedrooms have a large armoire with room for hanging/folded clothes.
I loved this apartment and neighborhood so much that I wish I had booked it for my entire stay in Amsterdam!
