Prinsenhuis

My best friend and I are college students and have been friends since second grade. This was my first time in Amsterdam and his second, and my dad booked Prinsenhuis for us. Good call, Dad. Getting in was the first surprise. We'd braced for the usual scramble of finding keys and figuring out the place after a long trip. Instead the hosts made it so easy we were settled and out the door in no time. The location is great for walking, but we barely walked. We rented bikes, and there was a safe, easy spot to keep them at the house, so we biked everywhere. Amsterdam bike culture is no joke. Cyclists get their own traffic lights, mounted at bike height. One day we rode all the way to Volendam and took a ferry with our bikes. Still can't believe we pulled that off. The hosts mentioned they run on electricity only, with no gas or petrol and even sustainable laundry. Best compliment we can give: we never noticed. Isn't that the whole point? Great conservation and zero hassle for the guests. Staying in an actual canal house on the Prinsengracht made us feel like locals for a few days instead of tourists. We're already talking about coming back. Thank you, Edwin!

We really tried to come up with something. The indoor stairs are steep, but it's an 18th-century building, so what did we expect? If your knees are older than ours, take it slow.

Wonderful location right on a beautiful canal.

The steps are steep and could be an issue if you have mobility difficulties.

On the canal, close to shops, in a great neighborhood, close to Metro, ground floor, easy in and out, great bathroom and shower, easy kitchen

Position is very strategic. It is in the center and 10-15 minutes walk you can reach all of the main attractions. Tram and metro are close by, in case you need them.

The apartment is limited for 4 people. The furnitures of kitchen are basic. Table is a top one and stolls are not confortable for dining.
