Guest Reviews

• Mark (9/5): Great stay in the heart of Amsterdam in a very clean, big and comfortable room. - Location was great; quick walk from the train station and right in the heart of everything. Room was exactly as it looks in the picture which was great. Bed was more comfortable than it looked! Shower was big and clean. Everything was excellent Host communicated well, included soaps, coffee facilities and took our luggage up the steep stairs for us whilst we wandered around Amsterdam, so it was an excellent stay. Gave an insight into what it is probably like to live there as a local. Only issue for some will be the really steep stairs - but nothing can really be done about that.
• Jake (10/5): Our host was very responsive and accommodating. The location is extremely close and convenient. - The food, snacks, and drinks were outstanding.
• Mary Lynne (10/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): - The location was amazing.
• 4261614b352e700b7a44e2ce74ff8106 (10/5): - Amazing place, great location and super friendly and helpful host
• Guillaume (10/5): -
• Gill (10/5): A perfect slice of real Amsterdam - Beautiful room with lovely views over the canal, in the centre but away from the hubbub. Perfect location with a very generous and thoughtful supply of teas, coffees and toiletries. We enjoyed meeting the host and his cats - all were just as charming as the room. I wouldn’t change a thing. We loved it. The stairs are a little challenging but all part of the charm.
• Anastasia Tasopoulou (10/5): Excellent stay! - Excellent stay, the room, the vibe, the location. If you are looking for a truly genuine place, this is a top choice. It feels like home away from home. And Evert was a great host!
• Felix (10/5): Cosy apartment - Nice and stylish apartment with good location and host Nil
• Ciara (10/5): Exceptional stay - we’ll be back! - Stunning room, great location, lots of extra touches that are super personal.
• Sarah (10/5): Delighted with our choice of accommodation for our first trip to Amsterdam… couldn’t have been better THANKYOU - From the date we booked the host Evert was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. Finding a host like this is such a joy The flat is perfected located for central Amsterdam. It’s also quiet. The room itself is totally charming, tastefully decorated and authentic . Very comfortable bed and lovely bedlinen.
• Dröfn (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay in this house. It’s incredibly charming, full of history and very well located. The host was exceptionally kind and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. One of our favorite details was occasionally hearing soft violin music drifting up from downstairs when the host was teaching, it suited the house and the whole atmosphere perfectly! Highly recommended!
• Logan (10/5): Perfect house to experience classic Amsterdam - The canal house is the perfect way to experience classic Amsterdam. The location is amazing. Close to the central station and city center, while not being in the loud part of town. The host provided everything we needed for our stay (extra towels, iron, treats, etc). The only downside to the property is the staircase which makes it difficult for luggage, but the host is upfront about this in the description and it was nothing unexpected.
• Andrew (10/5): Perfect for a couple of nights away, would definitely recommend - The location was perfect, everything is pretty much on your doorstep. I’ve never stayed in an apartment that was so fully stocked! Multiple alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks in the fridge, fruit juice, teas, coffees, hot chocolates, biscuits, multiple toiletries, toothpaste, even sensitive shower creams, everything has been thought of. Nothing
• Melanie (10/5): Perfect Amsterdam Stay - What a beautiful place to stay in Amsterdam! We loved our stay here. Easy access to Central Station and everything else you'd want to explore in the city. Our host was thoughtful and welcoming, creating a comfortable space that makes you feel like you're living in a canal house.
• Hahat (10/5): Cozy, convenient and classy. - We truly enjoyed the generous space, rustic yet modern vibe, fresh smell of the bed linen + duvets and watching life along the canal from the windows 🤩 The steep and narrow staircase actually added to an Amsterdam experience as the older buildings are known for them. Location is very convenient with tram stop and central station just few mins walking distance. Evert is very responsive. Lovely and friendly too. We totally loved this place and hope to return again. Nothing.
• Alison (9/5): Loved the apartment and Amsterdam. Unfortunately the weather was awful, wet and cold but didn't spoil our short stay - Location - very central Style of property Host was very helpful, let us leave cases when we arrived and before departing All the extras the host had included in the room, full fridge, toiletries etc Loved over looking the canal Steep wooden stairs were a bit of a challenge and certainly not suitable for older, unsteady people
• Sylwia (10/5): Fantastic period property in central Amsterdam - Fantastic apartment in a great location. The apartment is full of character and Evert is a fantastic host - very friendly and welcoming. He made sure we had everything we need. The location is also brilliant, it's central but not too noisy or touristy in the particular street the apartment is on. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby and close to everything in central Amsterdam. N/A
• Victoria (9/5): Authentic and comfortable home from home - The room was really lovely, spacious as advertised. In a charming historic canal house with canal views. The bed was very comfortable. A nice space to spend time in. Snacks and drinks were included which was a nice unexpected touch. The stairs are very steep to the room, not a problem for us but wouldn’t be accessible to some. A full length mirror in the room and more places to hang things up would be good additional touches.
• Denise (10/5): - Posizione fantastica, pulizia impeccabile. Evert super host🤗 Torneremo sicuramente! Nulla
• Silke Gartner (10/5): - Wir wurden sehr herzlich vom Gastgeber empfangen. Gute Tipps erhalten;immer erreichbar falls was sein sollte. Perfektes Apartment. Es gab Kaffee,Tee,gefüllte Minibar und sogar Kekse,sehr aufmerksam. Bett bequem, alles sehr sauber. Wir haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Zu beachten ist die steile Treppe nach oben, dies ist jedoch auch in der Beschreibung erwähnt. Sehr zentral gelegen. Bahnhof nur 5min entfernt. Toller Aufenthalt, wir kommen wieder.
• Adrian (10/5): -
• Julia (10/5): -
• Aziz (9/5): -
• Melanie (10/5): - Location. Canal view. Very comfortable. Host very helpful. Nothing. Steep stairs may be difficult with guests with limited mobility.
• Ralph (9/5): -
• Maus NL (8/5): super geslapen in een ruime plek in hartje van de stad - ruim appartmement, vlakbij station / parkeergarage , goede bedden , vriendelijke behulpzame host in centrum Amsterdam altijd beetje lawaai maar viel erg mee. prijzig
• Brown (10/5): - The most amazing period Property in the heart of Amsterdam! The suite was every bit as beautiful as it looked in the pictures, super comfy and spacious, and as the name suggests, touches of class everywhere you look. The mini bar was generously stocked, and there were plenty of good quality toiletries to choose from in the bathroom. Evert was the perfect host, greeting us on arrival and then again to wish us safe travels on checkout. Will definitely be returning again when visiting!
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): Perfect location and hospitality. It also allows you to get a city flavour. - The localisation is perfect for sighseeing Amsterdam and participate in events, as well as get to any other part of Amsterdam or NL as it is so close to the railway station. The welcome is really nice and you may get all necessary information. Additionally, fridge holds the most wanted items. The cold apple juice and sweets made my day while arriving there in a hot day. A place worth recomendation!
• Anca (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joseph (9/5): Superb -
• Gary (9/5): Superb -
• Meline (8/5): It was a great stay conveniently located within the city. - Very cozy, lots of character. The goat was helpful and polite. The stairs were steep although the host was willing to help with luggages.
• Gulin (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing host, everything was great. -clean -cosy -location great
• John (10/5): Will - Excellent location. Quirky place, well Maintained. Friendly cats . Nothing. Loved it. Friendly owner who explained everything v well
• Hang (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katie (10/5): A cosy, comfortable and colonial stay, right on the doorstep of it all - It’s beautiful. Stunning. Thoughtful amenities, a library, plush bedding, ambient lighting, wonderful views and you’re on the doorstep to it all. Felt like you were staying in part of Amsterdam’s history. The stairs are authentic, which means extremely steep and narrow. There’s not much to be done about this if you’re to preserve the heritage of the space but it’s the only thing that I didn’t like
• Lucy (10/5): Beautiful canalside apartment - What a fantastic apartment! Wonderful canalside location and fabulous host. Evert was so accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The apartment had great facilities, a very comfortable bed and a generously stocked fridge too! The house was cosy and beautifully decorated - such a gem! We loved it all!
• Drake (9/5): Superb - Nice room near the canal. Coffee Nespresso machine much appreciated.
• Leo (10/5): Exceptional - Evert is a fantastic host who made us welcome from arrival to departure. The room is beautiful and spacious with a wonderful view of the quiet street below and the canal. The bed is roomy and very comfortable. The location is fantastic - close enough to restaurants, bars, public transport, etc to walk but just far enough away to be nice and quiet at night. The two cats who live downstairs in a separate part of the house are also a major attraction. Nothing - everything was first rate.
• Justus (10/5): Perfection - I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this charming 17th-century canal house, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, and incredibly cozy. Waking up to the stunning view of the Singel Canal was magical. The location couldn’t be more ideal—right in the heart of Amsterdam, with restaurants, shops, and the central station just a short walk away. Despite being in the bustling city center, the space felt peaceful and full of character. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the stay even more special. I appreciated the thoughtful details like the coffee and tea amenities and the warm atmosphere throughout the house. Hearing the soft notes of violin music in the background added a unique and charming touch to the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and cozy stay in Amsterdam. I’m already looking forward to coming back!
• Dmytro (10/5): Excellent! - Wonderful place! Beautiful, comfortable and clean. I recommend it to everyone. I was especially impressed by the friendliness and kindness of Mr. Evert.
• Amanda (9/5): Superb -
• Bella (10/5): Excellent, would highly recommend! - The host was very accommodating and helpful with our bags. The room was lovely and clean, and the location was perfect and central.
• Roger (10/5): Great host & location -
• Lucy (10/5): Great location, huge comfortable place to stay - Excellent location, minutes from the train and bus station and loads of great bars, brunch spots and restaurants nearby. On the quieter side of central Amsterdam which is perfect, and 5-10 mins stroll from the main tourist spots. Room is warm, comfortable, huge! The sofa and tv is an added bonus. We’d stay again! Nothing to complain about at all! However if you struggle with stairs they are VERY steep, the steepest stairs I have walked up, so make sure you are fully mobile before booking!
• Kelly (9/5): Superb - Host was welcoming the location was convenient.
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional - Evert was very kind and helpful, cannot recommend it highly enough. Fantastic room and facilities, and location is close to everything
• Emmy (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous!
• Luc (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you Evert for the stay. We had a fantastic time in Amsterdam
• Catherine (10/5): Excellent place to stay in Amsterdam, will definitely stay here again on our next visit! - Fantastic host, great location, great communication overall, the space was clean and had everything you might need! We had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend this place to other travelers. Looks just like the photos and yes the stairs are steep but it's well documented in the details/photos and should come as no surprise to future guests. Our host was kind enough to bring out bags up for us and also he allowed us to store our things before check in (while the room was being cleaned) which was a huge help! Everything was perfect.
• Nicola (10/5): Thank you Evert for your generosity and hospitality while we stayed in your special home. It was perfect and we loved ou - We loved the layout of the apartment. It was very well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Evert our host was so hospitable and his home is so beautiful and filled with so much history. The apartment was clean with a lovely light filled lounge area and the bed was so comfortable. N/A There was nothing we didn’t like about the apartment.
• Zoe (10/5): Exquisite - Exquisite apartment in the centre of Amsterdam. Easy to get to various attractions like Anne Franks house and near Central Station. The rooms have lots of character. The host, Evert, is so welcoming and helpful. The two house cats are also lovely! I would highly recommend. Everything 😀
• Maria (9/5): Wonderful place to stay in the centre of Amsterdam! Highly recommend! - Wonderful place to stay in the centre of Amsterdam! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to visit Amsterdam. The apartment is beautiful with lots of character. The host, Evert, is very welcoming and accommodating and communicated with us very well throughout our stay! We had a memorable stay here and would not think twice to book again! We look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Evert for such a pleasant stay!
• Jenny (10/5): A charming, characterful and centrally located apartment on one of Amsterdam's main canals - Fabulous location on one of Amsterdam's main canals. Easy walking to museums and galleries with loads of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby A little more storage space for clothes - some more hooks for hanging things maybe - but that's such a minor thing compared to everything else this apartment offered
• Christine (9/5): Superb -
• Tzu (10/5): We highly recommend! - Location is great! Host is so nice and friendly!
• Jaime (10/5): Great Stay! - Our host was so kind! He helped us carry our luggage, made sure we knew where everything in the apartment was, and even left us so chocolate and cookies! I can't say there's anything I didn't like!
• Larry (9/5): Superb -
• Cynthia (10/5): Amazing, historic large and spacious room/suite with living room and kitchen area. Host very nice!! - Location was perfect. On a canal, near all transportation or walking distance. Steep stairs but only one flight and host helped us with luggage so not a problem.
• Amy (8/5): Very good -
• Moore (8/5): Very relaxed - Perfect location, nice view of the Canal and a very needy but handsome cat 😂 A king-size duvet instead of two singles
• Sarah (9/5): Fantastic stay! - The room is absolutely stunning with beautiful light coming in through the windows, a view of the canal, and a cozy feel. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was functional with a great shower and Evert was very generous in providing coffee and treats. Evert greeted us at check-in (we communicated through WhatsApp) and the process was very easy! He was available by message to answer all questions and provided great recommendations. The location is fantastic. Easy to walk/bike anywhere with the central station also only about 8 mins away by foot. We were not bothered by the stairs, but do be aware they are very steep as stated. This is of course to be expected in the Netherlands, but do take into account if you have issues with mobility.
• Irene (10/5): Exceptional apartment on the canal - Everything! The apartment is picture perfect, the host very kind and the location beautiful. Absolutely nothing to dislike.
• Priya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Georgie (10/5): The most gorgeous accommodation for our first trip to Amsterdam - Evert is the most incredible host - super accommodating and has thought of everything! The bed is super comfy - two duvets were a winner, juice and a fully stocked fridge and bathroom complete with hairdryer and curlers! The location is perfect: super close to the train station when you're travelling with luggage and situated between all the best places to visit. The view is stunning and one of the best in Amsterdam which added to the whole experience. The room itself is enormous, and the sound of violins playing below was wonderful! There is a board in the room with recommendations from previous guests - we booked ahead for the majority of places we ate/drank. Stumbled upon some fantastic markets and boutiques in Jordaan. You are a stones throw from Haarlemmerdijk with the vintage shops and cafes and the bar on the corner (Louis) is brilliant to stop before you head out for the night. We had the best stay in Amsterdam for the first time and will be back!!! Thank you for making our stay and my birthday so memorable, we absolutely loved our time with you, Evert, THANK YOU! There was nothing not to like!
• Meaghan (10/5): The perfect place to explore Amsterdam - Evert was such a welcoming host! His place was perfect for exploring Amsterdam. The unit is beautiful and had a great view of the canal. The stairs are very steep so if you have mobility issues it may not be the place for you. It’s an old canal house so the stairs are part of the charm! We also enjoyed talking to Evert and welcoming his 2 friendly cats. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
• Lyndilou (10/5): Beautiful 17th century building. - Loved the location, perfect in fact. The 17th century building was outstandingly beautiful. Evert couldn't do enough for you. Thank you for enjoyable stay.
• Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
• Campbell (9/5): Superb - Beautiful room, friendly proprietor great location and . . . a very sweet house cat!
• Colleen (8/5): Unique Amsterdam accommodation - The room is fantastic and the person who met us at the apartment was very friendly and kind. Evert couldnt have been more helpful. He helped with the bags on the narrow stairwell and provided excellent info both in writing and in person about the area. The apartment is unique, spacious and well located. its simple to find. We were able to walk to get to all the key sites. Its very clean with a really comfortable bed, nice desks for writing and a comfortable living room. The shower is great. The hosts have thought of every little detail including shampoos, ear plugs, lovely coffee and teas, juices in the fridge etc. There isnt a closet but there are loads of hooks, drawers and 2 lugguge racks so its very simple to get to your things. I didnt like working with the rental agency instead of my local host. If I used the booking.com app I would only get the rental agency who would tell me to text the local person but I couldnt text. So it was really awkward to get info back and forth. They didnt communicate to the local person what time we were arriving for instance. Evert the local person was fantastic. Secondly, I was surprised to learn that they needed a deposit until a few weeks before my booking. This info was sent to me after I left home and I couldnt get the text message from my bank to approve it. While it would have been simple to do from home, it was tricky with my European SIM card and on unsecured wifi. This requirement should be really well communicated in advance. Third, for some people, the narrow stairs could be an issue. For us, this was part of the charm but it may not work for people who struggle with stairs. Fourth, it would be nice to have a keyless entry so one doesn’t have to organize a time to meet, with air travel unpredictable, meeting someone at a specific time can be a challenge. It worked out for us as Evert went out of his way to be available but a coded lock entry is much simpler.
• William (10/5): Do not think twice! Reserve this wonderful oasis in Amsterdam. - The location was perfect for our needs. Our entire stay was incredible. The host, the location, the amenities, the atmosphere of the room and the VIEW!!!
• Marisa (10/5): Perfect - I love this room, so spacious and charming like the name. Our host was so helpfully. The location was perfect for us. Close enough to the city center but also close to the outer canals which has better restaurants and a quieter code which we perfected most days.
• Jen (10/5): Wonderful stay, will definitely stay again if in Amsterdam. - Such a gem! The apartment was lovely, great location and space. Host was excellent as well and the value compared to local hotels was fantastic.
• Tahlia (10/5): Full of character and comfort - Very close to central station, within close proximity to all the tourist spots but very quiet. The apartment itself is beautiful with lots of history and character. Very specious and comfortable. Evert is an exceptional host and was kind enough to help us bringing our luggage up and down the stairs! His cats are also very sweet and really make the stay feel like home. Absolutely nothing - just be wary the staircase is very very steep.
• Ashleigh (10/5): Exceptional - It was actually more spacious than we initially thought and is a beautiful property.
• John (10/5): Great stay in a lovely and unique room - Location and size of unit is very good. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy your stay! Nothing
• Wei (10/5): Exceptional -
• Becky (10/5): Wonderful! - Charming little authentic spot in the city. All the modern amenities with all of the wonder of years past. VERY steep staircase adds to the fun of staying in a building from the 1600’s. Nothing
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (10/5): A fantastic hotel, large room overlooking the canal and Everest is a awesome host - This is a awesome location to stay - Big king bed that was great. Will stay again..
• Victoria (9/5): Superb -
• Darren (9/5): Great place to stay, would definitely recommend. - Comfortable and clean living space. Evert was great host and was also available if you needed him. Would recommend as a traditional canal house experience. People walking around on the floor above us from 11pm to 2 am in the morning on our first night was no ideal.
• Paula (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dean (10/5): Wonderful short stay just minutes from the Eurostar station. - My wife and I stayed for 3 nights and could not fault this beautiful canal house. Very short walk from the Eurostar terminal so a small case on wheels was no problem at all. The host Evert is a lovely, friendly man who lives in the property and can always be contacted if need be and also via WhatsApp. Spacious clean and quiet room with quite simply the biggest selection of bathroom toiletries we have ever seen! Outside temperature was around 28c when we arrived but even though there is no air conditioning, the room was very cool as it didn`t seem to have the sun shining directly onto the front of the house. 2 electric fans also helped. The location is perfect for walking all around the city. I recommend Polly Goudvisch for an amazing breakfast! The best poached eggs on avocado toast I have ever had! (Near the A`dam lookout as you depart from the free ferry.) We could not fault this property unlike a lot of others we have stayed in.
• Gayle (10/5): Enjoyed this rustic canal house - The apartment was very charming and rustic but with a modern bathroom. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the central train station. The apartment is on the second level with a narrow winding wooden staircase. It was manageable but we had to tread carefully. Lovely stay.
• Daryl (9/5): the best testament I can offer is we can’t wait to return. - beautiful room, excellent location and the little touches like drinks in the fridge and snacks just makes it special. the bed was extremely comfortable. all was great, however if you struggle withe steep stairs then beware as the stairs here are unique and not for the faint hearted.
• Eliza (10/5): A lovely memory. - Many nice amenities such as many différent herbal teas, coffre capsules galore, all the little détails that make thé différence. Eclectic furnishings with taste, a gracious Host. Who Can as for more? A quintescential Amsterdam expérience.
• Fred (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aharon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kristie (9/5): Superb -
• Liz (8/5): Stylish, quiet, comfortable. Handy for the station and lots of restaurants. - We wanted a nice place to stay near the station, a tall order in Amsterdam. This was 5 minutes walk away and quiet and stylish. Apartment was well equipped with tea and coffee, toiletries in the shower room and books about Amsterdam. Evert was a very welcoming host and access to the apartment was easy. We felt like guests in a proper home. The cat was delightful extra, we know he's not allowed in the apartment but he welcomed us back from dinner in the hall. The view across the canal is particularly pretty at night No complaints. I had to take my socks off to avoid slipping on the shiny wooden floor, that's all!
• Amie (10/5): Fantastic stay at the Canal House. Located in a picturesque area of Amsterdam. - Great location, located in a quiet and picturesque area of Amsterdam. Central location with great transport link. Room as described, very clean and extremely comfy bed.
• Emily (8/5): Very good -
• Harrison (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dhanu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kate (10/5): A wonderful place, right on the canal. - Beautiful characterful property right on the canal. Evert was a very good host and even kindly allowed us to store our bags after check out. We loved the friendly cat “snout” who came to say hello. Overall a wonderful stay!
• Rebecca (8/5): Very good - great location and very spacious room the internal stairs are very steep and narrow our host helped us with our bags which was very kind they are just a bit full on if your not use to them
