The Neighbourhood
If you reach there by Tram, you will not miss the view and great atmosphere of Amstel river and boat houses parks by its both banks, Although most of the buildings are historical row house, the neighbourhood gives a very young and leisure atmosphere due to most of its residents are young couples and there children.

From the Amstel Nest B&B less than a minute you can reach the Amstel riverbank with a wide green sidewalk. It's a great place for a walking in a Summer evening. And you probably will dining at "De Ysbreeker" , a Cafe / Restaurant in a historical building were you can see both neatly dressed Amsterdamers and student look young people enjoy the evening with there friends.

The B&B
The host of Amstel Nest are young architects, they divide the front part of ground floor into a guest area. The guest room itself is an example of contemporary dutch design language - Clear concept, bold use of space and material, compact yet fully functioned. The colour they choose and the thin paint apply on raw industrial wood panels gives an cool, elegant look yet gives a warm feeling when you touch the materials. Behind the cool dark panels hides drawers, closets and a shower room, which was painted in bold warm colour.

Two big traditional dutch row house windows can be open in two ways (If you are not familiar with european windows) introduce the light and colour of the street with very good soundproofing.

(If Rob and Fang agree you can have a look into their private living area at the rear of the row house and see how they deal with light and space of the historical building.)
