The Hidden House provided a wonderful home base for exploring Amsterdam! Located in a quiet residential area it gives visitors a break from the noisy city center but has cafés, bakeries and shops nearby. A tram system connecting every part of the city is just a block away.

Renée and Maarten were perfect hosts, allowing us privacy but being available if we had questions or concerns. They were also most helpful in advance of our trip, answering questions about transportation, banking, museum passes, etc.

The living space is comfortable, charming and elegant with many thoughtful features. A mini-fridge, microwave and electric teapot allowed us to have morning tea (and croissants from a nearby bakery!) before setting out every morning.

We enjoyed an amazing 10 days in Amsterdam and the Hidden House was the ideal retreat at the end of our busy days.
