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).

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.

Amazing place

The owner lives in the same apartment so is there if you need help with anything, he’d put a Christmas tree up which was a lovely touch. We left the apartment very early morning for our flight and he organised a taxi for us with a lovely driver who was also very friendly. The apartment had everything we needed, a small hob, fridge and coffee machine, we will come back one day and would love to stay again, felt very safe in the area with the kids

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.

Peaceful and comfortable stay

Wonderful and picturesque area, off the beaten track. Very peaceful. Extremely comfortable beds (king size and sofa). Great bathroom and practical small kitchen with oil etc provided (useful to cook our morning eggs). Short walk to supermarket and lively street with cafes, restaurants, shops etc. Walking distance from Central Station and bus/tram stops to take you further afield. Highly recommended.

4 days in Amsterdam in October

Great property close to lots of shops, bars and a supermarket. Very quiet , 4 minutes walk from the tram stop, close to Amsterdam central for transport to and from the Airport. All new fixtures and fittings , plenty of hot water and clean towels, top of the range coffee maker. Internet ready TV so the kids could access Netflix and Amazon account when required. A great apartment for the 4 of us to explore Amsterdam for four days. Would we stay there again ? Absolutely ! Thanks to Connie and Seb for making the trip go so smoothly.

This is a great place to stay. Really close to Central Station and the canals, but tucked away from all of the hustle and bustle. The apartment is very well equipped and the price is fair compared to hotels. We had a really lovely stay - very highly recommended.

A perfect place to stay in Amsterdam

The flat was even better than we expected. All very comfortable and clean. The bedroom is set off the living area, screened by a wall with an opening and a blind. The sofa-bed in the living room was 'very comfy' (from 16 year old 5'10" teenager). The kitchen was well equipped (we loved the coffee machine), as was the bathroom.. much better than staying in a hotel. It is a very good area to stay, nice and quiet but easy walking distance to many attractions - 5 minutes walk to the east takes you through a lovely network of small streets and bridges, 10-15 minutes walk to the south, along pretty shopping streets and picturesque canals, brings you to the main centre and less than 5 mins walk to the southwest is a square with a very well stocked supermarket.

Fantastic place to stay in Amsterdam

After looking at many options we are so glad we chose Sebastian's beautiful apartment. Everything about it was perfect for our needs. It is in a fantastic area, by a canal and very safe and quiet. There are bus stops and two tram stops (line 3) within minutes walking distance, and even without the transport you are still very close to most of the main sights in the city. It took us 20 minutes to walk there from Centraal Station but by using the bus it would be 5 mins max. There are multiple bars, restaurants, cafes and grocery stores minutes away so you never have to walk too far if you dont want to. We found Amsterdam to be a great walking city so we were happy to walk around as much as we could, the canals are simply amazing. The apartment is perfect for a couple and has everything you'll need. The bed was huge and super comfy, the shower pressure was just right and the lounge was lovely to relax in after a long day sightseeing. Sebastian was very friendly, provided a very warm welcome and was quick to respond to any query we had prior to our arrival. Also worth noting the apartment was wonderfully clean, in fact it was spotless! We highly recommend the apartment and if ever visiting the city again we wouldn't hesitate to come back to stay here, it would be worth it just to use the wonderful coffee machine again!

Faultless host, apartment & location!

Title says it all, seemless in terms of organisation and presentation of the flat. Sebastian was available for any queries and the most helpful host I have met on Home&Away, responding to emails pretty much instantly & welcoming is with a bottle of beautiful wine. Apartment is located on a quiet canal with top of the range coffee machine to wake up after a night's sleep in one of the comfiest beds we've had the pleasure of staying in! Only a 5 min walk to a bit more hustle and bustle and 15mins max to station. Would definitely recommend to friends wanting a special weekend away.

A little gem of a place hidden within the city

The apartment was just what we required, quiet, peaceful and great location beside one of the many canals. It had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Location was excellent with supermarket and shopping street nearby. A short walk took us into central Amsterdam and the Jordaan area with its many shops and cafes. Close to the apartment we came across a very good restaurant Le Tavenu. Thank you to Lies who welcomed us on our first day and to Sebastian who was so helpful throughout and prior to our stay.

Great mini break!

Sebastian was a very attentive host; he showed us what facilities were available within the apartment and even went as far as to write a mini welcome pack with restaurant suggestions! The apartment was beautiful, my husband and I felt very safe and at home. The location was perfect, we were within walking distance to Central station and to attractions (Amsterdam Square, Red Light District). I thoroughly enjoyed my time and look forward to staying re-booking again!

Staying with Sebastian was fabulous! The VRBO was in a quaint quiet location with easy access to all parts of AMS. We were able to get to and from Kerkenhof in a breeze. The bed was extremely comfortable. The entire VRBO felt very spacious with plenty of room spreading out. We had welcoming cheese, wine, tulips, coffee, and cookies waiting us. We felt exceptional safe. We will definitely stay here again and recommend family use as well.

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.

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.
