Perfect base for a short break

This was one of the best equipped properties we have stayed in so far. The decor was first class and all the furniture was of a very high standard. The two balconies gave a superb view of the city day and night. The proximity to all forms of transport made travelling around effortless. There was even a thoughtful touch with transport cards provided in the apartment that we could top up if required. There was fresh fruit put in the apartment for our arrival too. There is a tram stop right outside the door and Centraal station was just at the end of the street. If arriving by car there is a dedicated parking place in the basement. Loved staying here , Alex was very informative and quick to respond to any questions we had. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer and explored the city even more.

First class modern apartment

This modern apartment is first class. It is spacious with high ceilings, it has a large lounge-dining room with comfortable seating, a big fridge/freezer and a well equipped kitchen. The principal bedroom is also a good size with a large, comfortable double bed that is not low to the floor. The balconies add to the feeling of space. The Calypso building is smart, modern and well appointed. Although there are many other apartments in the building we were not troubled by noise at any time - obviously it has been well designed with good soundproofing. There is no traffic noise. Calypso is no more than 5 minutes walk from the main railway station (Centraal Station) and the excellent Rotterdam tram service, which is virtually step free, is centred on the railway station with trams to all parts of the city. The trams and trains run at frequent intervals throughout the day. There is also a metro system (which we did not need to use). There are many respectable restaurants within easy walking distance and the principal shopping area, with adjacent markets, is not far away and can be reached easily by tram or on foot. We visited other places by train such as Amsterdam, Den Haag, Delft and Antwerp, and Calypso, with its proximity to the railway station proved to be an excellent choice. If we visit Rotterdam again this is the where we will stay.

Great value, amazing space, well-located.

This beautiful apartment in one of Rotterdam's landmark modern buildings has it all. Space, light, comfort, amazing views and, in Alex, a friendly and informative host. It could not be better located for transport links, both for getting around the city or travelling further afield. There is a supermarket on the ground floor open till 22.00 for convenience. We had a fantastic week in this vibrant city, enhanced by staying in this lovely apartment. We intend to return.

Surpassed all expectations!

A great place to base a trip to Rotterdam. Excellent location for everything and parking was a great bonus. The views were as fabulous as mentioned in other reviews - who needs a map when you can see many of the landmarks from the window! Alex was extremely helpful and the property was spotless and, very well appointed. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Just amazing apartment, views host,

What can I say me and 2 friends stayed here for 4 nights as we where meeting other friends from rotterdam. Firstly the flat is amazing the shower and bath room where brilliant with high pressure shower and deep bath tub, little packs of bath salts shower gel something you would think of in a 5 star hotel, the kitchen was excellent with a fresh ground coffee machine American style fridge, fresh fruit, the bedroom had ample space and a massive confortable bed. And then there's the views of rotterdam you can see the euro mast the insurance building all sparkled up at night it was truly breath taking. If your looking for a apartment in rotterdam I couldn't recommend this place enough. Alex was lovely and actually met us 3 hours before scheduled as we wanted to escape Amsterdam showed us how everything works and then left but assured is if we needed anything just text/email but we didn't and even after leaving deposit was refunded in full and promptly. Thank you so much Alex for our stay will stay again !!!

Great, comfortable Apartment

It is located a couple blocks away from the Centraal station which makes seeing all of the sights so wonderfully easy. The shopping district and restaurants are a couple blocks away (backside of the building, not the street entrance side). Easy interactions with the owners as well. This is my second stay in this apartment... will likely be back!

Wunderschönes Apartment mit atemberaubender Aussicht über Rotterdam

Unser Aufenthalt im Apartment in Rotterdam war sehr schön. Die Lage ist sehr zentral. Die Straßenbahn wie auch U-Bahn und Zug sind direkt um die Ecke. Genauso wie ein kleiner Einkaufsladen. Das Appartement ist groß und sehr geräumig und enthält alles, was man für einen kleinen Aufenthalt benötigt(von Föhn bis Gewürze ist alles da). Zudem enthält es zwei Balkone, die einen atemberaubenden Blick auf fast ganz Rotterdam bieten. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden dieses Apartment definitiv wieder buchen.

grandiose Wohnung

Die Wohnung ist hell, sauber, gemütlich und hochwertig eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts und der Ausblick auf die Stadt ist wirklich umwerfend schön. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar und der Tiefgaragenstellplatz ist ein zusätzliches Highlight. Die Kommunikation mit Alex war super und problemlos. Besonders nett fanden wir, dass frisches Obst, ein paar Süßigkeiten und eine Flasche Wein zur Begrüßung in der Wohnung bereit standen. Es war wirklich alles rundum perfekt.

Perfect in every way!

For a great stay in Rotterdam, you can't ask for a better location or a nicer place to call home. This property is immaculate, has stunning views, every modern convenience, and is perfectly located in the city. It's steps from a tram line and only a couple of easy blocks to the Rotterdam Central train station, where you can catch trains to anywhere you want to go in the Netherlands, and all of Europe for that matter! It's a quick 35 minutes door to door from Schiphol Airport, and just a few minutes further to Amsterdam Central. Alex is an excellent host, whom we now consider a good friend, and we look forward to our next visit with great anticipation! As our title says, this property was "perfect in every way" for our needs. We had people ask us "why Rotterdam?" Our response is simple. Great people, great food, great music (jazz and classical for us, but there's great "everything"), and no big crowds like Amsterdam, which, again, is a short train ride away and worth a visit. Thanks Alex, for such a fantastic place to stay!
