A beautiful stay

We loved staying at Claire and Sven’s. They were incredibly accommodating hosts, and their place was built and is maintained with a lot of care. The location was fantastic and we loved seeing the birds and cat visitor in the back yard.

Check-in and check-out were so easy. They even allowed us to arrive a bit earlier than the scheduled check-in time. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the cozy atmosphere and the location: just a block or two to restaurants, groceries, the metro, and an amazing local street market. We would stay here again!

Great location!

This is such a great property in a great location. Sven and Claire were amazing hosts, letting us check in early as they were in a position to be able to. The location is amazing, being able to walk from the tram, to the grocery store, restaurants, pubs, bike rentals and many popular experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely spot!

Convenient and comfortable accommodation in the heart of Amsterdam

We enjoyed our time at this property and it had everything we needed for our stay. We found the information, maps and books really helpful and also the thoughtful inclusion of breakfast cereal, tea and coffee. It was very convenient for sightseeing and we loved the proximity to the centre of Amsterdam. We all agreed we would have liked a lock on the bathroom door and also a bedside lamp in the second bedroom.

This couldn't have been a better experience for our stay in Amsterdam! I was with my husband and our two teenage daughters, and the accommodations worked out extremely well. We had just come off a 12-night cruise at the Amsterdam port, and the hosts were gracious enough to let us drop off our luggage at the apartment before the official check-in time. I'm sure this is not a guarantee, and is dependent on the availability of the apartment, but it worked out really well for us! We dropped it off and enjoyed the city until receiving a notice that the apartment was ready. What a gift not to have to deal with our luggage for that time!The location is wonderful, with a beautiful park within steps of the door, and the famous outdoor market in very short walking distance. There are metro stops in short distance, and it is also easy to catch a tram. We went all over the city, and always enjoyed having a great place to land back at the apartment when our adventures for the day were done.The apartment itself had everything we needed, and I would return there in a heartbeat!

Wonderful small suite. Close to the hosts but quite private. It’s small, but very well laid out and has everything you will need. But the best thing is the location— steps from Saphati Park and several tram lines, convenient everything.

Great property in excellent location by vibrant Sarphatipark. It's remarkably quiet and good for sleeping. Ground floor is a plus, no narrow stairs to navigate. Easy access to trams and metro and abundant food/drink/restaurants nearby. Owner was always nearby, I think we saw her every day. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice property/Nice location

Property is in a nice location but small. We had 3 adults staying. Bathroom very clean. Supermarket nearby. A few blocks from the street market that is open in the morning until about 5:00 pm. There was a glitch with the reservation but that was my error and the host was accommodating which resulted in too short of a stay. :( Will definitely love to come back to explore further.

Terrific location in de Pijp

We enjoyed our four day stay in this 1st floor apartment. The location was convenient to trams, museums, and local restaurants. It was a great home base to pretend to be a local for a few days. A few comments for those considering this flat: - primary bedroom has a king size bed. I was pleasantly surprised! - secondary bedroom has two twins. Perfect for our teen - there will be noise from neighbors and the street - the coffee array offered in the flat was delicious! - the house includes lots of odds and ends in cupboards and drawers from prior occupants, so Americans may not have to by their own ketchup - very close to pastry shops, cafes, groceries, the park, and trams

A Real Home at a Great Location

We chose Claire and Sven’s property because we wanted to experience what it would be like to be an Amsterdam resident and the property is perfect for anyone who wants that experience. It is on a quiet residential street but is close to a number of supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Dirk van den Broek), restaurants (Zaza’s and De Ysbreeker are amazing) and the metro which we used for day trips to The Hague, Leiden, Delft and Zaanse Schans). The apartment is also a short walk (15 - 20 mins) to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gough museum and, if that is too far, there are a number of trams right around the corner. The apartment has a very good oven and hob, washer dryer, and dishwasher). We love to cook using local ingredients and had no problem cooking a number of meals in the well kitted out kitchen. Having Sven and Claire above you is also a real plus. The instructions for accessing the apartment were very clear. This house is not the Ritz but rather a well loved home which made us feel like real Amsterdamer. We would definitely come back. Jimmy and Eilis

Dated but Convenient

In general, the place was a good one to stay in. The location is fantastic - easy walks to restaurants, the tram, the park, grocery store and more. Getting into the city centre from the location was easy. Communication with the hosts was easy - Sven met us in the flat and walked us through it and they checked in the next day to make sure we had what we needed. You do hear them chatting and walking above your head, though, which was awkward. The flat itself, as others have said, is musty and dated. The floor had patches that looked like they'd gone through repair without matching the existing floor, the walls need a coat of paint, there was a section of wall missing around the radiator in the smaller bedroom. The window in the main bedroom had a crack in it. There's not really a good place for luggage if you're not staying long enough to justify unpacking - especially if you're traveling with larger bags. I was able to keep mine squeezed in between the wall and the bed, but my friend had to keep hers in the living room as there was nowhere for it in the second room. Bathroom is a good size with lots of storage. Water pressure is great. Nothing but towels is provided, so make sure to bring your own. Kitchen seemed to be functional, though we didn't use anything other than the microwave, dishwasher and tea kettle. The listing advertised a washer/dryer, but we looked throughout and didn't find either.

Good Place but Some Issues Encountered

I booked this VRBO property for a vacation in Amsterdam. It was an ok place to stay; great location. However, there were a couple of issues that we encountered during our stay. No Fire Alarm: Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that there was no fire alarm in the unit, despite it being clearly listed as an amenity. This is not only a blatant violation of safety standards but is also illegal in Amsterdam. The lack of a basic safety feature left us feeling uneasy. This was brought up to them and was resolved the next day. However, since it is a safety concern, I do feel it is important to mention it here. Messy Visit: The owner informed us that they needed to replace the washing machine during our stay and requested access to the unit. Given the circumstances, we gladly granted permission. To our dismay, we returned to find the place in a worse state than when we left. Used coffee mugs were left unwashed, and the toilet was unflushed—a clear sign of disrespect and unprofessionalism. Unsafe Actions: To add insult to injury, during that same visit, the owner irresponsibly opened what can only be described as a rear window that functions as a door leading to the backyard. This not only allowed insects to invade our living space but also posed a serious security risk. Anyone could have entered the unit without our knowledge. Safety and security should be top priorities for any rental property, and this VRBO failed on both counts.

Great place. Very close to lots of shops and restaurants, tram lines and the metro. Lots of info about Amsterdam. I would stay there again in without looking for other options. It is very close to a park. It is a fantastic place overall. The host was very friendly. A few minor things just to be aware of: squeaky floors by the bedrooms, the showerhead and bathroom ceiling could use some cleaning, and the floor in the big bedroom isn't level so we stacked some guide books under the legs of the bed. I still give it a 5/5 though.
