About this property

Perfect central and quiet Canal Apartment

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).

Wonderful stay in Amsterdam

Wonderful apartment run by friendly Sebastian. Easy check in, plenty of space and very close to bus/tram stop. Sebastian provided great recommendations for pubs and eateries nearby. Perfect for us and our 18 year old daughter.

A beautiful well appointed apartment in a central location!

The property was roomy and immaculate. It was very comfortable with a large bed and living room. The kitchenette provided everything we needed for self catering if we wanted to eat in. Very easy to shop for food with a supermarket close by and easy access to public transport and all the sights of interest with canals on the doorstep. Our host was very helpful and greeted us upon arrival. Would definitely recommend this fabulous apartment.

Ideal Amsterdam apartment

Host Sebastian was outstanding: helping us locate the apartment, checking on us throughout our stay, providing a guest book of recommendations. Loved staying in such a well-designed space with lots of well thought-out conveniences. Accessible to central Amsterdam on foot or via public transit. Thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood - great local spots for food & drinks. We will be recommending this apartment to our traveling friends. Highly recommend this apartment.

A great family stay

The apartment is in the great location, not far from the central station and the city centre. The host met us on arrival and showed us the apartment which was well equipped and comfortable. We had some cheese and wine left for us. The coffee machine (fresh beans) in the kitchen was fabulous. We’ll be back in the future.

Great Stay

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!

Fabulous location

Sebastian was a great host, making our check in and out friendly and easy. The apartment is exactly as listed, and the location could not be better. The apartment faces a quiet canal but is just is around the corner from a busy square with a fresh food market, cafés and quick access to bus and tram lines that took us everywhere we wanted to go.

Nice clean, quiet apartment in a great location.

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!

Respite Before Return

Stayed a couple of nights in Amsterdam before heading home (after a week in Belgium). The place is a great, quiet location, but easily accessible to public transportation to get around the city. It was the ending weekend of Pride Week, so there were a lot of active crowds in the city. Making this quiet home even more appreciated for being able to get rest in the evenings. Would definitely stay here on my next trip to Amsterdam.

Simply wonderful

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.

Great place, nice location and wonderful host

We stayed for a week last year and enjoyed it so much that when we saw a 3 day opening at the end of this vacation we decided to return. The apartment is very comfortable, well located, about 5 minutes away from the central rail station by bus, close to shops, restaurants, canals, a park and a grocery. It’s easy to make day trips from Amsterdam. The apartment is on ground level, nice sized living room with dining table, large comfortable bed, small but adequate kitchen and bath. Sebastian is great and very helpful with suggestions and recommendations. We had fun again so hope to return next year.

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.

Great location

From the pictures we thought this would be a canal view however there are cars blocking it as it was a walk out. Opening the door and people watching was fine though. Walking to Jordaan or the city square was 18min or less and both safe and straight forward, it was great Sebastian was outgoing and answered questions quickly

Amsterdam stay

Very clean, quiet apartment on a backwater canal. 5 minute walk to buses and local restaurants/shopping. Sebastian is an excellent host. We walked from Amsterdam Centraal train station as it was Kings Day and crazy busy. Took about 30 minutes. After we got used to the buses we had access to everything.

I'm a born 'Amsterdammer' and love this city. Although I love to travel it's always good to be back in Amsterdam. I'll be happy to advise you where to go and what to see.

Why they chose this property

I always dreamed to live in this neighborhood so when I had the chance to buy a property here it was a dream come true. I have been living here for more than 20 years now and still are very happy with my choice.

What makes this property unique

The neighborhood is the best of both worlds: the quiet and laid-back atmosphere of a small village with all big city conveniences a stone throw away.
