Perfect central and quiet Canal Apartment
About this condo rental
Situated in Amsterdam, this lovely condo for $290 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Stylish and quiet ground floor apartment in one of Amsterdam's most beautiful neighborhoods. Enjoy a village-like atmosphere a stone’s throw away from the buzz. A perfect and peaceful retreat after a busy day of sightseeing. Public transport, supermarket, restaurants, bars and (organic) market within walking distance. The bright and sunny canal side apartment consists of a spacious living room, a bedroom with a luxurious king-size bed, a bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art DeLonghi whole bean coffee machine. The sofa couch in the living room can be easily converted into a large second bed for two adults. The apartment is nicely furnished and includes a Smart TV, with a full range of channels, wireless Sennheiser headphones, high-speed WiFi and a Sonos One speaker. The Western Isles neighborhood is like a village on the edge of the historical city center. Four hundred years ago it was the first expansion of Amsterdam. It is a quiet neighborhood made up of canals and converted warehouses. As Lonely Planet puts it: "The artistic and creative soul of the city hidden in the charming Western Isles. This small archipelago is bathed in wonderful tranquility, but is awakened from its slumber by bobbing houseboats and bicycles rattling over the wooden bridges. Beneath the former grain , herring and tobacco warehouses, intrepid travelers will now find studios making everything from film and music to painting and designer furniture”. The Haarlemmerplein with a supermarket and organic market on Wednesdays is only 150 meters away. The famous shopping street Haarlemmerdijk is a 200 meter walk, the lively Jordaan with its bars and restaurants 500 meters, Central Station is a 15 minute walk or a short bus ride. The Anne Frank House is 1.5 km away and Dam Square is 2 km away. Bus and tram stop 'Haarlemmerplein' 150 meters away. Taxi from Schiphol Airport 20 minutes, € 60. I rent out my apartment to more than 2 people only in case of families (parents with children).

Sebastian was a fabulous host! He was out of town and still arranged for us to be greeted and he stayed in touch throughout our stay.
We loved the location and took advantage of Sebastian's culinary recommendations. The grocery store was close, as well as the tram and busses.
The apartment was even nicer than in the photographs. Very clean and comfortable. We loved the espresso machine!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sebastian’s lovely apartment. Well located, we walked everywhere but there is public transport nearby. The apartment is warm and comfortable, the kitchen has everything needed and Sebastian’s welcome gifts has started a lifelong addiction to stroopwafels!

The apartment worked out really well. It was a short walk to the center of everything, and very quick to the train station. Yet far enough to be nice and quiet. Some nice spots to eat, drink a short walk away. And the host was more than attentive and helpful to us. Would recommend for sure!

We started making our 2 week anniversary trip arrangements a year ago. We wanted an apartment that offered us a place that felt safe, clean, comfortable & convenient to both restaurants & transportation and this place had it all. One of the perks was how the apartment is designed with a separate king size bedroom. Super comfortable bed, I might add.
Sebastian was so helpful before we arrived and during our stay with our questions. Super knowledgeable about the area too.
Staying here made our 35th anniversary trip even more special. When we return, it will be the #1 place on our list to stay at! 😊

The property was just as described, even better. Ground floor access was a plus. The neighbourhood was quiet, close to scenic neighbourhoods and canals yet close to a transit hub, groceries and a cool shopping street. Sebastian was a super host, welcoming with a bottle of wine plus cheese. Always available with advice, response to any issues and kept the unit supplied and clean weekly. A plus that he lives in the building too. We were incredibly impressed with Amsterdam and could well return.

Sebastian is great to work with. Quick communication. The apartment is everything you could want. It is convenient to walk everywhere and if you need, the tram and bus are very close as is a grocery store and restaurants. Try Rafi restaurant. I use a wheelchair and it is great there are no stairs or steps to get into the apartment.

This property was on a nice quiet side street but within minutes of shops, grocery, restaurants and transportation. Sebastian was a wonderful host who was very helpful with anything we needed.
5.0
This apartment is beautifully modern, but set in an historic building and situated along a canal in an historic, picturesque, non-touristy, and quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is small, but very well-equipped and well-stocked. Though it is on the ground floor, it is very quiet (and there are no stairs to climb!). Nearby is a lovely plaza, a charming street, a beautiful park, and stores, shops, and restaurants. Tram and bus stops are also nearby, and it is only a short ride to the city sights. We're coming back, for sure!

This was our second stay and it was even better than the first. Extremely response host. Super clean apartment in a wonderful location (delightful and quiet area that is close to shops, restaurants, and public transit. An espresso maker so easy to use I wanted to put it in my suitcase. Book early. We booked in November for a June stay.

5.0
The apartment is great, very comfortable, king bed and a nice little kitchen. We did not cook but ate breakfast and some takeout in the apartment and there are sufficient dishes, spices and a small refrigerator with freezer. The apartment is close to the grocery, lots of restaurants and shops, the bus stop and a tram. We made good use of a 5 day bus/tram pass that was well worth the money for us. The bus to the central station took less than 10 minutes which was handy for day trips. The neighborhood is very quiet overlooking a canal.
Sebastian was so nice to orient us and stop by periodically during the week to see if we needed anything. Everything was great.

If you're looking for an apartment that is just outside the city central, in a quiet neighborhood, on the ground floor, near a bus line and metro, very clean and has everything you need, this is the one! Sebastian was a perfect host - he met us when we arrived; explained things about the apartment and the area; left wine, cheese, and stroop wafles for us; and even made arrangements for us to be taken to the airport ( which I would suggest you do). If I could give this experience more than five stars, I would!

We enjoyed four fabulous spring days staying at this charming apartment. The location within an easy 15 minute walk of Central Station made our visit to the sights of Amsterdam easy. The apartment had everything we needed to cook at home. It was lovely and quiet so we slept well. But the highlight of the apartment is the host Sebastian who was very kind and always extremely helpful.

Sebastian is a great host! We arrived later then expected, and he provided cream for our morning coffee so we didn’t have to go out! Easy walk to everything, but in a quiet area. Definitely recommend!

Staying here was a delight! The apartment is well appointed, from the DeLonghi coffee machine to the soap, shampoo and dishwashing liquid in plentiful supply. We loved being so close to buses and trams. Sebastian's recommendations were great, from our favorite restaurant, 't Blaauwhooft, to the laundry place just off the square. Sebastian was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions and ever helpful with logistics. Highly, highly recommended! Hope we can return one day soon

Sébastien was great. Walked everywhere.

I cannot recommend this property enough! The apartment is spotless and well appointed. Sebastian is a warm and gracious host and was always available to us (particularly when I accidently tripped the breaker!). He provided us with excellent recommendations for places to eat and see in Amsterdam.
The location is unbeatable. When I travel, I love to experience a location as a local does. This property is perfectly situated in Amsterdam so that you are close to all of the major tourist attractions, but are also part of a local neighborhood. We were close to shopping, food, drinks, bus and train, but also within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. We loved our stay so much and cannot wait to return! Thank you, Sebastian and give our best to the local cats! :)

Excellent location and lovely apartment as a base for an enjoyable visit to Amsterdam.
4.0
Great location. Cafes, grocery stores, pizza joints all within walking distance. Number 18 and 21 bus takes you to Centraal Station. It's walkable too. We had an issue with a previous guest which required immediate action. Sebastian's wife Alena was on the ball and responded immediately. She and Sebastian live upstairs. The building is so solid that we never heard them or anyone else. My favorite utility was the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. I find European bathrooms over designed, i.e. the shower pan is flush with the floor and slippery as hell. Sebastian's shower is like a pod. You close the door and you're enveloped. I saw the same design in Hong Kong. Excellent water pressure and piping hot. The kitchen is cleverly designed with a fridge, a hotplate and a microwave / oven but for me, too much counter space is taken up with a honking big coffee maker. I don't need coffee that badly but I guess other people do. The bed is solid. Motion detector lights help in the dark. Great communication with the hosts, especially Alena who stick-handled our concerns.

Clean, quiet and close to the train station
The property was clean and quiet and a 15 minute walk to the central train station. Although very small, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. We loved the espresso maker as well as the the wine and stroopwafels left for us. The bed and sofabed were comfortable and we rested well.

Great neighborhood and lovely apartment!
Sebastion was a great host and the property is clean, quiet and in a great area for exploring the Jordaan, walking downtown or taking a quick tram to the museums and park. There are many cute places to eat, get coffee or drinks nearby as well as a grocer very close. I would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks Sebastion!

Quiet perfection
The location was quiet and convenient. It was easy to get around a new city from this location. The owner was helpful and made the process work. We enjoyed being on the first floor when it came to our baggage and coming and going. The canal was such a treat to have out our door.

Peaceful and comfortable stay
Wonderful and picturesque area, off the beaten track. Very peaceful. Extremely comfortable beds (king size and sofa). Great bathroom and practical small kitchen with oil etc provided (useful to cook our morning eggs). Short walk to supermarket and lively street with cafes, restaurants, shops etc. Walking distance from Central Station and bus/tram stops to take you further afield. Highly recommended.
