Got there early and informed by owner all okay to check in early. Location is excellent right where we wanted to be. The room was great we liked it a lot very quirky and a very comfortable bed. Probably not to everyone’s taste but fine for us. Late check out was available informed by owner all okay.

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.

Amazing little gem!

The location of the apartment is ideal - to say it’s not far from the centre, it is wonderfully peaceful in the evening and mornings - before Amsterdam fully wakes up all you hear is birds! 10 mins from Anne Frank house (if you want to go there, make sure you book well in advance), around 15 mins walk to the local tram stop, near a supermarket. The apartment itself is lovely, full of quirky charm with enough space for the two of us - the boat used as a veranda is a wonderful extra and Anne Marie is a great host. When we arrived she explained the house rules and was quick to respond to any questions we had during the week.

Really lovely, unusual studio accommodation with a garden and private use of a boat on the canal for meals and watching the world go by. Experienced and super host who did everything to make us welcome. Perfect location for a relaxed city break.

Gorgeous little studio

This was such a lovely place to stay; Ann-Marie was a fab host, very friendly and helpful and the location was great, just a short walk along the canal from Westermarkt tram stop and very close to Anne Frank House. The courtyard (to which I had sole access) was a lovely place to sit in the sun in the morning. There is a local supermarket just a couple of minutes walk away and plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. All in all, a great place to stay.

Fantastic location, fantastic apartment!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and eclectic apartment. The main sights of interest are all well within walking distance. Anne Marie left clear instructions for the apartment and we took advantage of having breakfast in the garden and using all of the amenities and kitchen and seating areas. If you would like to witness a real taste of Amsterdam and stay on Prinsengracht then this place is for you.

The apartment is perfect for a weeks stay in Amsterdam. The location of the listing is also perfect, as it was the neighborhood I enjoyed the most. The sauna and atrium is also a huge plus. Should I go to Amsterdam again, this is where I would stay.

STUNNING!

I never stay in hotels as I prefer to stay in accommodation that is cultural. This was the best one I’ve ever stayed in ever! My 21 year old daughter & I adored our few days in this very special apartment. It’s so cool, funky & full of atmosphere. Anne Marie was also so kind and welcoming to my daughter & I. We were very sorry to leave!

Quirky and romantic

I stayed here with my best friend and I’m glad we are close because it very much a couples place. The bathroom isn’t overly private with quirky little windows and glass bricks but it’s a perfectly suitable. The kitchen is well equipped but no oven. However, we loved our stay! The access to the garden is a gem and the location is perfect. Anne Marie was extremely helpful and considerate. The beds are very comfortable and the room was spotless. If your looking for a short break close to all with a private garden then this is the one for you

A wonderful apartment in an ideal location

This is a great place to stay, it is in a good location by a lovely canal, very clean and comfortable and amazingly quite. It is a very ecectic and quite quirky apartment which suited us. There are good restaurants shops and supermarkets very close by, and all the attractions of Amsterdam are within walking distance, I would recommend this as a great base from which to explore the city. Ann-Marie is extremely helpful and friendly with lots of advice to help visitors make the most of their stay.

Amazing hidden gem!

Stayed here with my girlfriend for 2 nights and we were completely blown away by the property, it had a really rustic bohemian feel to it and we immediately felt at home. For the price we paid it was a huge amount of space with a separate well equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a bath and a lovely courtyard. If you appreciate beautiful, unusual and quirky surroundings then I couldn't recommend here enough! The host was so helpful, I can't thank them enough for creating such an amazing, calm and quiet haven!!!

Me and partner loved it!

Me and my boyfriend went on our first holiday and stayed here. I loved it the place was cozy, beautiful and spacious. The bath was amazing, the sauna even more. Anne was an amazing host, punctual and friendly. Gave us lots of ideas on where to visit. I will definitely be staying in Amsterdam again and hopefully staying here again. Affordable, everything is within a walking distance and what I found to be most pleasant was that it was nice and warm inside. Outside was really cold so it was blissful to come home to a warm cosy studio. Thank you so much

Amazing Apartment

I cannot rate this property highly enough. My girlfriend and I stayed here for a short weekend away. Excellent facilities and in very good condition. The rustic decor really added to the feel of the property. The small kitchen provided everything we needed for the few days we stayed, however there isn't a door on the bathroom so be aware if you are not comfortable with the person you are staying with. Absolutely perfect for a couple looking for a romantic holiday in the heart of Amsterdam. The inclusion of a sauna was very special and certainly added a lot to our experience in the evenings.

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.

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.
