- Jacob (9/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): - The attention of detail for all the little things - and large ones. Arvin and partner are fabulous. We loved the place and the location. The steep stairs are challenging, but typical. We got over it quickly.

- Mark (10/5): Had a great experience at the Artist House. - Location was great, just a short walk from the train station.
The apartment entry was a private doorway, and stairway, so no interaction from the owners of the property.
It was very clean.
I would recommend to those that like to walk around a city. Good location. We travelled near Kings Day, a national celebration. People were celebrating early, so there was some noise till 2-3 am.
The apartment had a door separating the streetside from the bedroom, so kept the noise level to a minimum.
- Peter (10/5): - Good location
- 新井 (10/5): - ロケーションもとてもよく、広くて清潔でした。
素晴らしい旅をありがとうございます。
- Samuel Veyre (10/5): - We loved our stay in Amsterdam, and it is greatly due to this appartment. It is equivalent to a very high standard hotel, for much cheaper.
Our host has been great, with easy and quick communication.
We had the possibility to leave our luggage before the chek-in time, which was very convenient for our first day.
The appartment is great : it is perfectly furnished and equiped. Everything was very clean. It was quiet.
There are little "touches" for the guests, such as tea bags and coffee capsules.
The location of the appartment is great too. It is very close to Neuwmarket place, the red district, etc. If necessary, the subway is a very close, eventhough you can access pretty much any visit by foot.
I highly recommend this place !
- Patricia (10/5): - Super Lage!
- Maria Valeria (10/5): - La ubicación e instalaciones y el buen recibimiento Escaleras estrechas pero es lo común en Amsterdam
- Jack (10/5): Great place to stay - would definitely stay here again. Big thanks to our host that bought us a drink at the pub as he o - Great location, comfy bed and lots of space Not the fault of the owners, but poor water pressure in the shower and steep steps to get up (which is standard for Amsterdam)
- Sinan (9/5): Amazing - Very good location and host is really helpful and place is very clean. East to find the place and host is always online to help. Tied stairs is you are coming in with big luggage

- Andrew (10/5): - Spacious mini-apartment, ten minutes walk from the station, handy for lots of restaurants and cafes, but not noisy. Friendly and helpful staff. Well equipped, comfortable. Nice cafe next door! Would definitely choose to stay here again. Just to note: microwave but no other cooking facilities, but that didn't bother us.

- Pippa (10/5): Exceptionally generous hospitality. - Central. Quiet. Spacious. Comfortable. Warm. Nothing.
- Didem (10/5): Ev sahibimiz çok ilgiliydi. Teşekkür ederim. - Konum mükemmeldi. 5-10 dk yürüyerek merkez istasyona ve meydana ulaşabiliyorsunuz. Restoran, bar, cafe ve alışveriş yerlerine çok yakındı. Evde ihtiyaç olan her şey mevcut. Evin tasarımı çok güzel ve kullanışlı. Dik merdivenleri bulunuyor. Ev ahşap olduğu için üst komşularımızın özellikle adım seslerini çok fazla duyduk. Geç saatte rahatsız edici olabiliyor.
- Rike (10/5): Wunderbare Unterkunft für die Stadt, zentrale Lage, schnelle Erreichbarkeit und unkomplizierter Kontakt. - Die Lage des Apartments war sehr gut, Fuß läufig zu allen umliegenden Aktivitäten und Bahnstationen. Es war sehr sauber und perfekt für einen kurzen Städtetrip. Angenehmer Kontakt zu den Vermietern, wir konnten jederzeit Fragen stellen.
- geraldine (9/5): Logement cosy et très bien situé - Logement très confortable où rien ne manque, très propre et soigné.
Excellent emplacement pour visiter à pied Amsterdam et proche de la gare ce qui est très pratique.
Au calme avec la chambre ne donnant pas sur la rue.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.
Nous avons aussi apprécié de pouvoir laisser nos bagages. Un grand merci pour cet accueil et confort. Tout était parfait.

- Bayram (10/5): Tek kelimeyle muhteşem - Konumu çalışanların güleryüzlü olması ve konakladığım yerin geniş, iyi dizayn edilmiş ve rahat olması
- Noura (9/5): ممتازه - الصدق حلوه ونظيفه ومرتبه ودافيه والنظافه خيال وكل شي واضح بالشقه مافيها غسالة ملابس ولافيه عازل صوت قوي يعني اسمع اصوات الشقه الثانيه
- Evita (8/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Best BnB experience we've had so far - Best value - Very central location - Almost everything was walking distance like the major museums, grocery, cafes/bars, restaurants. Apartment was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable and cozy too. No elevator, but Arvin and Hans were always a step ahead to offer a helping hand to carry the luggages and bags up and down the steep staircase. From beginning to the last day, our hosts were very gracious making sure we were ok up until we left. Arvin was very quick to respond to all queries. High recommend Artist House Amsterdam - would definitely book again with them when in Amsterdam!
- Damien (9/5): -
- Rosanna (10/5): Value for money. Excellent! - Wonderful location — supermarket a minute or 2 walk away! Spacious apartment with everything you need. No elevator — not a problem: Arvin, Hans and Josh expertly hauled our luggages up and down the steep staircase. Super gracious and helpful hosts! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Arvin and Hans! Hope to be able to return! Nothing
- Alison (10/5): Great location, beautiful, clean well equipped apartment. - Beautiful apartment, well equipped and very clean and comfortable. It had everything we could have needed and more and was in a great location 10 minutes walk from the Centraal Train Station and in walking distance to all the main sights in Amsterdam City Centre with a supermarket and cafes, coffee shops and restaurants over the road. The owner was lovely and was great with communication before and throughout. Would stay again and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the city centre whilst having extra space to rest and lounge. Nothing, it was great 😊

- Gaea (10/5): Highly recommend the Artist House! - First trip to Amsterdam, so we poured over properties and finally selected the Artist House. You never know for sure, regardless of how much research you do! This one exceeded our expectations! Location is great, 1 minutes walk to metro stop and 5 minute ride to Centraal station. Walkable to Dam Square, Rembrandt House & more. The apartment is clean and comfortable. Close to bars, cafes, restaurants, grocery store & pharmacy. Arvin was a great host, available & responsive to all your needs. He stored our luggage when we arrived as jet lagged zombies, delivered our luggage to our apt & called & texted to let us know it was ready a bit early. While not a bargain cost wise, it really is. You get what you pay for & this more than delivers for the price. We loved Amsterdam & our day trips to surrounding towns. The stairs are steep. In my early 70’s with cranky, tired knees, I worried about this. Only had to climb one flight & it was totally doable & ended up being a non issue. But if you have mobility issues a consideration for sure. However, Amsterdam will be a challenge if you have limited mobility.
- Mark (10/5): Great place to stay. Felt like I had my own apartment in the centre of Amsterdam. The host was great as well. Very helpf - Cleanliness, space, size and simplicity
- Peggy (10/5): Exceptional treasure! - The Artist House is a delightfully wonderful place to stay. It was very clean, spacious, and with lots of room to settle in and relax. The location was exceptional. Great restaurants right out your door, grocery store across the street and Central Station was a five minute walk. The apartment was very clean and well managed. I would highly recommend this place and I would definitely rebook it my next visit to Amsterdam. Thumbs up!!!!
- Oleg (9/5): - Really nice displacement and fantastic hostes :)
If you come to them, please say hello from me :)
- Evita (9/5): -
- Erdi (10/5): A wonderful stay in the heart of Amsterdam, made even better by Arvin’s outstanding hospitality. - The property was absolutely charming – stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring Amsterdam. Everything was spotless and well thought through, from the little details in the room to the overall atmosphere of the house. Arvin, the host, was simply brilliant – warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with recommendations that made our trip extra special. Honestly, nothing significant to mention – my stay was smooth and exceeded expectations.

- Claire (10/5): Loved our stay would definitely come back here - The property was very clean, modern and spacious for an apartment in Amsterdam. Host Arvin was very friendly and accommodating.

- Bogdan (10/5): Good location, communication and stay. -
- Cara (9/5): An awesome place to stay, close to the Amsterdam action but quiet inside. Lovely hosts xx - Artist House is in a great location, close to shops, restaurants and canals, a great Amsterdam experience. The apartment was spotlessly clean. The bed was massive and comfy and once we shut the bedroom door there was no noise to interrupt our sleep. The bath towels were thick and fluffy and we had two full sized towels each (we only had one towel each or one full sized and one hand towel in all our other accom in Europe)
Our hosts Hans and Arvin were friendly, thoughtful and very helpful. They have an eye for detail even down to the pots of orchids which were so perfect I thought they were artificial, but turned out to be real 🌷Thank you Hans and Arvin for our wonderful stay 😊❤️👌 We didn't like leaving

- Rosanna (10/5): Great location, perfect accommodation, fantastic hosts. -

Metro, the morning market and grocery store all nearby within 5 minutes of walking.
Both host Arwin and Hans waites for us even though we arrive almost 10pm. Even helped us with our luggages until the 1st floor which is our room.
The cleaner will clean the place everyday. Fresh towels are given as well.
Cutlery, glasses, bowls and plates are available. Narrow stairs but that is just how amsterdam is.

The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful with our luggage and very nice for anything we needed. They helped with all our questions, and we would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend this location if you're visiting Amsterdam! Not much. Other than the bed not having a top sheet there was no real complaints. The shower was a little tight and odd, and the stairs were super narrow, but the unit had everything we could need and then some! It exceeded our expectations!

- Ana (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, clean and comfortable place to stay with everything we needed, couldn’t fault anything. Room was spotless when we arrived and was cleaned everyday.

Highly recommend staying here if you are going to Amsterdam and we will definitely stay again when we return. Nothing
- Başak (9/5): Superb - The house is very spacious, and its location is fantastic! You can literally walk many places or you can use subway/metro. It is clean, and everything you need is available. The kitchen is equipped with utensils like forks, knives, and plates, as well as appliances such as a kettle, coffee machine, and refrigerator, you cannot cook but you can use all this items.

The host is helpful, providing detailed and thorough information, and even offered to store luggage after check-out until departure. The entrance and narrow stairs are not an inconvenience—they add charm and authenticity to the stay. Everything was excellent.

- Kathy (10/5): Exceptional apartment! - So many things! The location was amazing...right by a subway station and about a 10-15 minute walk to the Central Station. The apartment was a wonderful size! It was so nice to spread out and to have a small kitchen and living room. Bathroom was super clean and large! Hosts were outstanding and even left me a small gift of chocolates for my birthday...so thoughtful! I highly recommend staying here over a hotel. I loved everything! Can't think of a negative.
- Kara (9/5): Fabulous location spacious clean apartment - Fabulous location spacious apartment with excellent facilities Nothing it was fab..
- Kathrine (10/5): A fabulous time had in Amsterdam - It was everything you need for a short stay in Amsterdam, very clean hosts just downstairs should you need anything, they were great hosts polite, even though we just there 3nts they came in cleaned bathroom etc didnt need it but such a lovely touch I thought :) very central to everything we had planned and more :) would be stay again....oh yes most definitely 😊 Wasnt so much we didnt like but stairs bit steep if you not great on your feet, we were on 1st floor and stairs up to 2nd floor looked steeper certainly would not put us off staying again.
- Anonymous (8/5): Definitely recommend - The studio was great, it was daily room-serviced (we didn´t expect that!).Great comfy bedding, quality sheets and towels. The bedroom gives on the inner yard so you don´t have the noise of the street. It´s very well located for touristy things/close to central station too. We ate out so only used the kitchen for the morning coffee but the kitchen has microwave and dishwasher. The host was lovely. We would definitely stay here again if back. It was great as it was. The thing that people have to be aware of - it has (like most houses in Amsterdam centre) very steep steps to get to the studio. But it´s part of its charm too!
- Charles (10/5): A wonderful place to stay in a great city. - Perfect location for taking the train to cities that are conveniently located from Amsterdam. The location is also good for a vast selection of restaurants, excellent shopping and near many museums within walking distance. The staff was exceptional. The efficient apartment that I occupied was kept in immaculate order and had many extras. The host, Arvin, was very helpful
and congenial. I would highly recommend the Artist House Amsterdam and hope to return.
- Frank (10/5): Exceptional - From Tora,
Arvin was a wonderful host who went the extra mile at every step. The room was delightful and clean with a fantastic location. I would highly recommend! Thank you for the great stay and for the chocolates for my birthday! It was very a nice suprise.
- Katrin (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious apartment and tastefully decorated! There is all the stuff you need!
Although there is no reception because it’s not a hotel, the owner is available and helpful to find uncomplicated solution for deposit of luggage etc.
Very charming, friendly and professional Owner, we had a great time there!
- Silviu (10/5): An excellent stay with comfort, outstanding hospitality, and a perfect location! - We loved everything about the accommodation! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. The atmosphere was welcoming, and we felt right at home. Highly recommended!
- Francesco (10/5): The best place where to stay in Amsterdam. - The Artis House Amsterdam is a special place in Amsterdam. Our host Arvin is literally the best host i’ve been meeting. The house is warm, very clean, comfortable and we’ve been cuddled like we were close beloved friends. The position is really central, you can go by walking everywhere and there’s the main metro right beside the house. The street and the square are very safe as frequented by many people, it’s plenty of restaurants and supermarket. The price is comparable to 1 star hotels that really are places where not to go in Amsterdam. If you “can” book a stay in Amsterdam, really choose Artist House, i now know a perfect place where to stay. Thank you Artist House for saving our vacation.
