About this apartment rental
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).

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the special welcoming snacks and wine! Great communication with the owner. It was a convenient location and easy to walk or catch an Uber to main attractions. If we are ever back in Amsterdam we would definitely return to this lovely apartment!

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.

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.

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

We had a wonderful stay at this quaint, beautiful apartment by the canal. Sebastian was a most gracious host willing to answers any questions we had. I’ve been to Amsterdam three times and this was by far the best experience. I would highly recommend this apartment!
5.0
Our stay at Sebastian's place was simply the best I have ever had. Sebastian's commitment to ensure the best possible stay went so far above and beyond what was expected that it will be a tough experience to top. Between the generous welcome gift, to mapping out where to go, providing recommendations and even facilitating luggage storage and a ride to the airport on our departure day, it was a truly exceptional experience. Cannot recommend it enough if you are coming to Amsterdam, quiet location but still easily accessible to all the major spots. Tremendous job Sebastian.

We were so happy with our apartment. The street was so peaceful. You couldn’t hear a thing. The accommodations were immaculate. All amenities needed. Our host was right there to meet us when we arrived by taxi and helped with our luggage even though it was early in the morning.
The coffeemaker was wonderful. We enjoyed the freshly ground coffee and espresso it made.
Lots of storage space. Comfy bed and linens. Very spacious. Very safe.
We could walk to a nearby square where the tram #5 stopped.
The building is situated in front of a canal. Parakeets flying around and the cooing of pigeons were the icing on the cake. We would definitely stay here again.
Sebastian answered my questions promptly by email when we had a question and was very helpful.

My husband and I spent 8 days in Sebastian’s apartment. Everything was perfect. The flat is in a great location, very clean, with a comfortable bed and a wonderful coffee maker. We even had a welcoming bottle of wine and snacks awaiting us when we arrived. Sebastian provided a neighborhood guide to restaurants, grocery stores, laundry etc. He answered all our questions very promptly. All in all he was an excellent host and we would highly recommend this flat to anyone.

Our host, Sebastian, was a true gentleman from beginning to end. We spent 8 days in this apartment after taking a transatlantic cruise. Sebastian was kind to greet us when we arrived early and stowed our suitcases. From there, he had maps and area information readily available, answered questions promptly, furnished fresh towels half-way through our stay, and even offered to mail our package back to the States for us. The apartment is located in a safe, residential area on a canal. Restaurants, the bus headed into Central Station and a grocery store was an easy walk; just a block away. We would definitely stay in this well appointed property and heartily recommend it for any and all travelers.

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.

Outstanding stay in a brilliant neighbourhood within walking distance to everything.
The apartment had everything we needed and Sebastian was the perfect host.
Can’t speak highly enough of him, the apartment, the neighbourhood and the whole experience.
Amsterdam is a gem.
5.0
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.

Sebastian was a fabulous host! He was out of town and still arranged for us to be greeted and he stayed in touch throughout our stay.
We loved the location and took advantage of Sebastian's culinary recommendations. The grocery store was close, as well as the tram and busses.
The apartment was even nicer than in the photographs. Very clean and comfortable. We loved the espresso machine!

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!

Lovely property with very communicative host. Great neighborhood. I can’t say enough. Sebastian was a wonderful host. Would highly recommend
5.0
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!

A great place in fantastic location. Everything we needed for our stay.

We started making our 2 week anniversary trip arrangements a year ago. We wanted an apartment that offered us a place that felt safe, clean, comfortable & convenient to both restaurants & transportation and this place had it all. One of the perks was how the apartment is designed with a separate king size bedroom. Super comfortable bed, I might add.
Sebastian was so helpful before we arrived and during our stay with our questions. Super knowledgeable about the area too.
Staying here made our 35th anniversary trip even more special. When we return, it will be the #1 place on our list to stay at! 😊
5.0
The property was just as described, even better. Ground floor access was a plus. The neighbourhood was quiet, close to scenic neighbourhoods and canals yet close to a transit hub, groceries and a cool shopping street. Sebastian was a super host, welcoming with a bottle of wine plus cheese. Always available with advice, response to any issues and kept the unit supplied and clean weekly. A plus that he lives in the building too. We were incredibly impressed with Amsterdam and could well return.
5.0
Sebastian is great to work with. Quick communication. The apartment is everything you could want. It is convenient to walk everywhere and if you need, the tram and bus are very close as is a grocery store and restaurants. Try Rafi restaurant. I use a wheelchair and it is great there are no stairs or steps to get into the apartment.

This was our second stay and it was even better than the first. Extremely response host. Super clean apartment in a wonderful location (delightful and quiet area that is close to shops, restaurants, and public transit. An espresso maker so easy to use I wanted to put it in my suitcase. Book early. We booked in November for a June stay.

This apartment is beautifully modern, but set in an historic building and situated along a canal in an historic, picturesque, non-touristy, and quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is small, but very well-equipped and well-stocked. Though it is on the ground floor, it is very quiet (and there are no stairs to climb!). Nearby is a lovely plaza, a charming street, a beautiful park, and stores, shops, and restaurants. Tram and bus stops are also nearby, and it is only a short ride to the city sights. We're coming back, for sure!

Sebastian went above and beyond to help us and make sure we had everything we needed. Apartment was super comfortable. Location was perfect. We walked everywhere.
5.0
The apartment is great, very comfortable, king bed and a nice little kitchen. We did not cook but ate breakfast and some takeout in the apartment and there are sufficient dishes, spices and a small refrigerator with freezer. The apartment is close to the grocery, lots of restaurants and shops, the bus stop and a tram. We made good use of a 5 day bus/tram pass that was well worth the money for us. The bus to the central station took less than 10 minutes which was handy for day trips. The neighborhood is very quiet overlooking a canal.
Sebastian was so nice to orient us and stop by periodically during the week to see if we needed anything. Everything was great.
5.0
If you're looking for an apartment that is just outside the city central, in a quiet neighborhood, on the ground floor, near a bus line and metro, very clean and has everything you need, this is the one! Sebastian was a perfect host - he met us when we arrived; explained things about the apartment and the area; left wine, cheese, and stroop wafles for us; and even made arrangements for us to be taken to the airport ( which I would suggest you do). If I could give this experience more than five stars, I would!
5.0
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.

Sebastian is a great host! We arrived later then expected, and he provided cream for our morning coffee so we didn’t have to go out! Easy walk to everything, but in a quiet area. Definitely recommend!
5.0
Staying here was a delight! The apartment is well appointed, from the DeLonghi coffee machine to the soap, shampoo and dishwashing liquid in plentiful supply. We loved being so close to buses and trams. Sebastian's recommendations were great, from our favorite restaurant, 't Blaauwhooft, to the laundry place just off the square. Sebastian was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions and ever helpful with logistics. Highly, highly recommended! Hope we can return one day soon

I cannot recommend this property enough! The apartment is spotless and well appointed. Sebastian is a warm and gracious host and was always available to us (particularly when I accidently tripped the breaker!). He provided us with excellent recommendations for places to eat and see in Amsterdam.
The location is unbeatable. When I travel, I love to experience a location as a local does. This property is perfectly situated in Amsterdam so that you are close to all of the major tourist attractions, but are also part of a local neighborhood. We were close to shopping, food, drinks, bus and train, but also within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. We loved our stay so much and cannot wait to return! Thank you, Sebastian and give our best to the local cats! :)
