Exciting place to stay

An eclectic place to stay in the center of an eclectic city. Walk out the door and you face at once a canal lined with beautiful Dutch buildings! The neighborhood is full of restaurants, cafes, and shops frequented by Dutch as well as tourists

Great stay

Cozy unit below ground. Host was extremely sweet and helpful. I wouldn’t recommend if you are over 6 ft tall as the ceilings are incredibly low. Location is incredible on the canals and very central, but away from the craziness of the center of the city.

Exercise caution before booking here

If you're into the following for your vacation this is the place for you:This apartment is in a basementThe ceiling height is less than 6ftYou have to pump water to flush the toiletThe hosts will inform you that food needs to be kept in a special container so "nature" doesn't come inThis is an active workshop when not being rented, there will be smells of varnishSmoking is allowed in the unit The hosts are very non communicative towards concerns and will actively downplay anything you may bring up. They know the problems the unit has and will actively use those issues against you as a reference to why they don't have any responsibility for the properties condition. Exercise caution when agreeing to rent this unit. You will receive zero support from the owners of the property in trying to rectify any issues.

Quirky canal apartment

Thought we were walking into a lovely little vintage shop which led us into a cozy quirky apartment. Everything you need with few little extras and a wonderful deep bath. Not the place to stay if your looking for modern style furnishings. Plumbing is a little noisy and on occasion a little smelly and you have to pay extra for the sauna. Anne Marie is a very helpful and informative host.

Wonderful funky suite in great location

This suite has everything my wife and I needed for our two-night stay in Amsterdam. Its location makes it easy to walk to restaurants, museums and to get to a canal tour. The suite is well provisioned to allow you to prepare meals. The courtyard looks great, but we hit a rainy period so couldn’t take advantage. Anne Marie was very helpful and responsive, giving us some excellent advice on getting around. I highly recommend this suite.

This place was great overall. The location is close to the anne Frank house and great walking distance to other places. The place has a sauna, cute outdoor space and access to sit on a boat. The ceiling is a bit short for someone who is 6'4" but he managed.

In the midst of Amsterdam

Lovely quaint small sub-basement apartment in the midst of canal ridden Amsterdam. Little backyard garden to relax and our host has a boat on the cannal where you can sit and watch it all go by. Great location near to trams and local eateries. The ceilings are low so be prepared if you are tall.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Marie Borsboom

Host profile image
Anne Marie Borsboom threw herselff as quirky adolescent already on the making cartoons consisting of four, five photos. Someone said: you should go filming. And so it came to pass. After the Film Academy, she went to work as Camerawoman and Director. Her new film BOI, Song of a wanderer and Homesick plus Carnival were broadcasted.
Anne Marie tries to stir her films to be more than the main theme suggests.

At times her visual poetry and eye for composition are the best in photography and they have traded the 24 frames per second for a single muted image with a strong expressiveness. But then again there makes them look prefer a series of. There are – how could it be otherwise – playful references in to film and the Visual Arts.
