We enjoyed five nights at Camilla’s canal front home. The space is gigantic and easily accommodated our family of 4, with two teenagers.
It had everything we needed, a perfect location close to everything, a quiet canal, and the host was extremely helpful. We couldn’t be happier and would book again if we return to Amsterdam.

We had such an amazing stay at this home. The home is absolutely storybook perfect and is located in one of the best neighborhoods. We travel often to Amsterdam and usually stay in the hotel that hosts a yearly conference we attend. This year we decided to bring our teenaged grandkids with us and were interested in having a private home. We could not have been more pleased! The home is located right on a canal and within walking distance of artisanal butchers and bakers, with local chain groceries available as well. We were surrounded by great restaurants (book Men Impossible when you reserve the house) and a fabulous bagel shop (Bread Winner) just across the canal. Camilla let us borrow her cat, bikes for the kids, and umbrellas for our stay. We could not have asked for a better host, or house.

Visited Amsterdam for a week with my mom and brother and stayed here, it was absolutely perfect. The convenience of the location and beauty of the neighborhood cannot be overstated. Camilla was so friendly and helpful, she was a perfect host. The apartment itself was also so beautiful and the perfect place for us to unwind and recharge in between our adventures; the garden in the back was such a gem and a rare find. Look no further, this is the ideal place to stay while visiting Amsterdam!

Camilla was the absolute best! We had a family issue and had to cancel our stay but then it ended up working it out and I had asked if we could go ahead and come and she was so very kind to let us and she worked with me a lot to put it back in motion. I was so grateful!
I love Amsterdam and this was a great area to stay. So close to everything (5 min to the Metro, 5 min to the grocery store, so many restaurants, croissants, shops, gelato within a 5-10 minute walk. But, it was so quiet.
The house manager was lovely when we got there and everything was in working order and great! I loved the backyard too. That was a plus. It was comfortable and beautiful and clean. I would definitely stay again!
Thank you Camilla for everything!! You really were incredible.

Loved our stay and can’t wait to return! Perfect neighborhood, right in the thick of everything but still quiet. We bought a painting from a gallery just around the corner, and olive oil & tapenade from Olivaria; ate at Mesiba, lovely Israeli restaurant also just around the corner.

The house is unique and beautiful, with wonderful views from all of the windows. It was accurately described and photographed. Camilla was a responsive and helpful host from before our arrival and throughout our trip. She helped get us settled in time with our arrival, even though it was prior to the property’s check in time. The house is an easy walk to museums and markets. If you are tired, it is easy to take the tram within a couple of blocks. There are only positives when staying at this property :)

From the start, we felt welcomed and at home. The owner welcomed us at check-in, and oriented us to the neighborhood and house. After our long travels, we appreciated thoughtful touches including fresh flowers and local treats. The location is spectacular along a smaller canal and next to a wonderful cafe, and just moments from interesting restaurants, grocery stores and shops. We bicycled everywhere, which was exciting and whipped us into better physical condition in a few days, so we enjoyed coming home each evening to this quiet, comfortable retreat. Many thanks to the hosts for making this home available to travelers!

Lauriergracht is a beautifully appointed house with everything you need for a comfortable and fun stay in Amsterdam. Camilla was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. We spent a lot of time in the house due to the rainy weather and really enjoyed the TV/sofa area and the big kitchen table. I highly recommend this house for a family holiday or a holiday with friends.

This is a lovely modernized home in a great neighborhood on a canal.
We were there with our 2 adult grandchildren. We enjoyed the seating area in the back garden. We never figured out the electrical switches and I would caution guests to noticed the stairs in the photos when choosing. We are in our late seventies and managed, but they are something to navigate. We couldn't have enjoyed the experience more and the local suggestions made by the host were perfect. We hired the small boat to cruise the canals on our own, which was an absolutely perfect experience. Would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Our group of four, family and friends, spent a week at Lauriergracht 89 “The Wisteria House” and it was as lovely as the name implies. We arrived in the morning and Camilla was kind enough to let us in early. That’s one of the many pluses to having the owner living next door along with instant response to any of our questions.
The welcome basket lasted a week and we enjoyed the coffee and espresso pods she provided out in the fabulous garden. It’s such a lovely spot and we enjoyed it daily.
The neighborhood was perfect for walking to the museums, restaurants and shopping and no need to bring travel books as the house has plenty and the House Manual is filled with great recommendations.
The top floor bedroom is expansive in size and the mattresses are very comfortable with nice linens. I think it could use a small dresser but there is an abundance of closet space on the second floor.
It was the perfect home for our group and I will definitely return. Thank you Camilla!

The townhouse is everything you could possibly need or want. We felt at home immediately. The home was spotless & comfortable with wonderful treats left by the homeowner Camilla. The kitchen is full supplied with coffee, teas, spices etc. The backyard was lovely to sip cocktails in the afternoon.
The tv area was delightfully comfortable for late night relaxing.
The neighborhood is wonderful, coffee shops, pastry, great restaurants. We loved the Jordaan vibe! Camilla was such a warm host, can't thank you enough! Hope to see you next year.

Such a great place, very nice kitchen and living area. We really enjoyed those floors. Felt that the third floor bedroom could have used better lighting and the damaged shades were not very welcoming. Just felt sparse. Biggest concern was the fourth floor- such a nice bedroom area but no railing on stairs seems dangerous and very difficult to navigate.

This was the perfect location and ideal space for the four of us. We were able to bike and walk everywhere, explore the wonderful neighborhood and come home to a very comfortable space that allowed us to relax together and have privacy as well. Camilla is a delight and went above and beyond to make our stay special.

You cannot beat the location of this house. Everything was supplied by our hosts for an amazing stay here, and to be able to walk or ride everywhere. The welcome gift was much appreciated and all toiletries were provided. The tv area had a really comfortable sectional for relaxing, reading etc. It was a bit difficult to get our heavy bags up those steps but was good exercise😊 great outdoor seating in front and back and very short walk to coffee shops and attractions. Nothing to do but enjoying Amsterdam!

Really beautiful, over looking canal, recently renovated. Extremely helpful hosts. The place was immaculate and we really appreciated the welcome gifts.

This home is so close to everything anyone could want to do in Amsterdam! We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go rarely getting into a taxi/Uber. Camilla the host is so helpful and pleasant. She even gave us tips to watch our daughter sail away out of the port. The home was very clean and well equipped with a lovely courtyard. One note for people with young children is there is only one side to the railing between the 2nd to 3rd floor but my older kids did well! I am very clutzy and did well as well so I would stay again. Over all we give this home a 5+ and we travel A LOT and almost always use VRBO.

My mother and I made a last minute request to stay at Camilla’s house, only a few days before Christmas. Camilla couldn’t have been responsive, accommodating, or inviting. She had thought of every possible one of our needs upon our arrival, not to mention, a Christmas tree! The house is airy and open. The location central and quiet. There isn’t a better house in better location with better hosts. Thank you!!

Our stay at Camilla’s home was wonderful and absolutely perfect. The home is beautiful and comfortable and in an amazing location. We loved waking up to views of the canal, watching the ducks float by, and enjoying the swaying leaves over the canal. It was perfect for our baby girl and accommodated our family and our friends’ family very well. Absolutely recommend this as a wonderful place to stay either with or without kids.

Wonderful, charming home in the middle of a hip, cozy neighborhood. Great for families with kids (tons of space, toys, backyard, bikes) with very attentive hosts. We’re planning to come back again next year.

We couldn't have been more comfortable. In the most desirable Amsterdam area, it was a quiet retreat canal-side at the beginning and end of our day.
It was fun to live like a local while being centrally located - so leave your car parked because you won’t need it.
Surrounded by quaint pubs, unique artisan shops, and a short walk to the Royal Palace, and Amsterdam Museum - it truly is a perfect place to stay.
Stairs can be a real issue in Amsterdam homes, so we were grateful that this residence offered an easy to ascend, curved stair case to the second floor bedroom with en-suite for my mother, plus a beautiful retreat (bedroom and bath) on the top floor for us! The modern kitchen was a pleasure to prep meals and made clean up fast and easy. Many pleasant evenings were spent on the comfortable, private patio nestled at the back of the home.
I’m thrilled that we stumbled upon this very clean, very convenient, beautiful home in the very best location for us.

My friends and I were so happy with everything about our stay. The location is unbeatable, the house is gorgeous and well equipped, and the host and property manager were a lovely mix of professional and also like communicating with friends. We highly recommend this property. Thank you, Camilla (and Lisa!).

My wife, brother-in-law, nephew, two nieces and I spent a week at Camilla and Adam's lovely home on the Lauriergracht canal in Amsterdam. The house is well equipped and close to restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions such as the Anne Frank house, canal boat tours, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum, etc. The house manager, Lisa, was very helpful upon our arrival and was always available if we had any problems (although there were none). Being on the canal, we felt as if we were actual residents of this beautiful city. I would also recommend La Festa (Italian), Het Stuivertje (French), and Rakang (Thai) for dinner, all within easy walking ditance from the house. Thank you Lisa, Camilla and Adam.
