Guest Reviews

• Grahame (10/5): Unique apartment in a great part of town. Highly recommend. - This is a huge apartment and truly unique. I love the character of it. You can feel the history. Located in a quiet part of town yet in easy walking distance of everything. Clean and tidy. The hosts could not have been nicer. Excellent communications. Very clear check in instructions with accompanying videos to illustrate things to know within the apartment. There is nothing to dislike here.
• Aleksandra (10/5): Such a lovely place to stay in Amsterdam! The apartment feels warm and уютный, with a great vibe and perfect location. E - The apartment has a unique and atmospheric vibe that makes the stay even more special
• Leiam (10/5): - Inaction fantastic, right next to the station, short 2 min walk into the centre of Amsterdam.
• Marjan (10/5): Heerlijke tijd gehad. Tafeltennistafel was top en ook het dartbord viel erg in de smaak. - Super aardige en meedenkende host. De accommodatie en de locatie is top.
• samantha (10/5): Romantic private apartment - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect stay — we’ll definitely return We loved our stay in this beautiful historic basement flat. The location is ideal — only about an 11-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal, yet in a peaceful, traditional area while still being right next to shops, restaurants, bars and lovely canal views. The apartment is full of character, with exposed brick, original timber beams and a unique cave-style kitchen. The cosy sitting area, gym, table tennis and darts were great extras, and the big comfortable bed, romantic fairy lights and warm underfloor heating made it feel extra special after long days exploring. This will definitely be our first choice when we return to Amsterdam, and we’ve already said we wouldn’t book anywhere else next time. Hopefully we’ll be back again soon! Shower pressure waant great but is minor compared to the beautiful basement apartment you get
• Vicente (9/5): Vivienda original e ideal para conocer Amsterdam. - Ubicación excelente, a un paso del centro de la ciudad y de la estación Central. El local, la “cava” es enorme y está decorada con gusto. Es cierto que los aparatos deportivos no los utilizamos, pero igual son útiles a otras personas. Comunicación excelente con los propietarios y trato muy cercano. Es una antigua bodega de la casa, así que hay que contar con que no hay ventanas a la calle, excepto la de la entrada, pero tiene una estupenda ventilación y una calefacción adecuada. Gracias Britt y familia por vuestra atención. Vicente & Gemma. Un par de cápsulas de café y una botella de agua no estarían de más para redondearlo todo. Sí había, en cambio, té y azúcar.
• Filippo (10/5): Uno dei soggiorni più piacevoli della mia vita - Tutto incredibilmente bellissimo Assolutamente niente
• Katharina (9/5): -
• ryry09 (10/5): Feels like traveling back in time but with modern convenience - Location, very quiet but close to the city, food, and the train station! The vent and the heating system are very good! Make you feel warm with air movement. It can get pretty dark given it's half underground
• Jan (10/5): -
• Ashley Cronin (9/5): Amsterdam Marathon Stay - Great apartment, great size with all amenities like kitchen, dining table ect. The only problem was the mattress seemed quick old with blood stains on. Apart from that the room was very clean.
• Kathy (8/5): We loved the ancient vibe of the apartment and its proximity to tourist destinations. - Location was perfect. Owners were very nice and helpful. Very interesting historic property. Apartment smelled musty (but makes sense as it is basement). Washing machine was blocked with cleaning supplies, hindering its use.
• Kendall (9/5): Great spot to check out Amsterdam from. - Location is superb. Walking distance to so many things Bathroom could have been bigger but that’s being picky. Nice place to stay.
• Shelley (10/5): - The apartment is unique and so much space. Good location in a quieter part of the city, yet only a short walk to bars, restaurants and the nightlife. Roel was an excellent host and we will hopefully visit again in the future.
• Ken (9/5): Great time. Would go back again. - Location was nice. More bath towels. A fan would of helped.
• Omar (9/5): - Incredible apartment, lots of floor space and facilities for cooking and dining. Not alot of natural light. But this is to be expected as it is an old canal house.
• Steve (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - One of the most unique properties we have stayed in, large open space and plenty of different places to sit and soak in the charm of the building and its character and history. Great location to explore all that Amsterdam has to offer Bed mattress could be a bit firmer but perfectly comfortable
• Kacia (9/5): -
• Carole (10/5): loved our stay here - Great place to stay in Amsterdam, quiet location close to everything
• Jasmine (10/5): - It was lovely and unique and the owners were lovely

• Mandi (9/5): Unique & wonderful place to stay in excellent location with everything we needed - Totally unique & so very spacious. Excellent location & very quiet and comfortable Owners went above and beyond to open up for us as our flight was much later than expected Kitchen very dark
• Sharee (10/5): Perfectly amazing and a unique experience. - This is a unique property which is centrally located. It is a full basement so there’s a ton of room but not much light. The owners are very responsive. Convenient to a small market. With all of the space, it could use an extra bed.
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Carli (9/5): A little gem - Clear communication with host at all times. Spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location Very spacious apartment with a super cosy feel. You will love staying here.
• Stephan (9/5): Superb -

• Bailey (10/5): Excellent apartment in an excellent location. We will definitely stay again if we return to Amsterdam! - Excellent apartment in an excellent location. We will definitely stay again if we return to Amsterdam!
• Haider (10/5): Amazing - The location was perfect right in the heart of the city but on such a beautiful spot where it’s perfectly quiet. Great privacy and walking distance within the city centre / train station / bikes / metro. The hosts were fantastic with great Communication always made sure if I needed anything they’re were in touch.
• Ronald (8/5): We really enjoyed the apartment and loved the location and architecture. - The architect matching the city and close to train and ship departing. Never could get the TV setting to watch anything. Mostly news.
• Said (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (9/5): Had an amazing stay and would recommend. - Great location, close enough to everything but far enough away to be out of the hussle and bustle. Huge space full of character, completely unique place to stay. Sometimes a little nosy at night or morning being in the basement.
• Leiam (9/5): Superb - The apartment was huge, lovely quirky touches, close enough walk to the centre of Amsterdam and Central station but in a quiet street opposite a picturesque canal. We would definitely stay again.
• Graham (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible apartment, super spacious and fabulous location in walking distance of places of interest. Our hosts were very friendly/helpful and had lots of excellent local recommendations. Nothing everything was excellent
• Katy (10/5): Beautiful, clean and spacious, visually stunning. - Spacious and well furnished, beautiful apartment with lovely welcoming hosts. It is tempting to try and keep this place a secret !

• Rebekah (9/5): Hosts were so great, communication was clear and they genuinely cared. - Fantastic location & huge space Instructions to get to apartment could have been clearer, i.e specific from the train station. I had to buy a map to work out where to go!
• Greg (9/5): Loved Amsterdam - The location was excellent being on a canal and a short walk to the city centre, centraal station and the red light district. Huge apartment below a canal house and very quiet. Hosts were great and made arrangements for us to drop our bags off prior to check in.
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great 👍 Bed too soft
• Michel (9/5): Superb - Location and lots of space Not a lot of light as its a basement
• Patrick (8/5): We definitely rate this apartment, over all enjoyed our stay very much. - The location was great and owner of the apartment is super friendly. The size of the apartment was absolutely wonderful!! The bed could have been better.
• Michael (10/5): Very comfortable with a great location - The location was great and very easy to find. The amount of space at this location is more that anyone could expect. No complaints
• Philip (9/5): Great location, massive apartment, friendly host, must stay apartment. - The apartment is huge! Full of character and in a great location, really close to the centre but still on a quiet peaceful street. Roel was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everything was great. Nothing, everything was great.
• Antonio (1/5): 45 years of travel, only the second time we have felt unable to stay. - Nothing. This accommodation did not suit us. Stayed 2 hours and left. Sacrificed AUD $1512 to leave. Absentee landlord "surprised" but nothing further at this stage. Retired couple - this was a lot of money for us to lose. So we didn't leave just to be fussy.
• Katherine (10/5): Super comfortable stay in fun quirky and very spacious apartment - Location, utterly unique and fun, spacious, comfortable, extra thoughtful touches, host helpful and very responsive to any queries. Perfect temperature during the hot weather too! Nothing!
• Darren (5/5): Location good but owner should have compensated us after getting bitten by bed bug mites ftom the ap - No breakfast provided not enough bedding and both of us caught bed bug mites from tge apartment.The owner says he clearly stated it had a double bed ,why did he provide a sofa bed if he only wanted a couple to stay ?He then implied we may have caught the bed bugs else where,whn his place was the only place we slept at.the door to the spartment was like a shed door ,the door he showed on ypur site was his own front door to his house above not the door to the apartment.He even left us a note to say not to use sll the lights as electric expensive ,yet i psid over a 1000 for my 5 nite stsy ,more than enough to cover the electric bill. Bed bugs ,only 1 window to whole of basement which never opened
• Gemma (10/5): Would definitely recommend this property, and will return here myself if the opportunity arises. - Huge space in a great location. Short walk to all the action of Amsterdam but far enough away to be quiet. Some areas of Amsterdam can feel a bit unsafe and sketchy, but not this area. It was quiet and comfortable with only local/minimal foot traffic. Check in was very easy and you could tell all the linen and towels were freshly cleaned. Bed was very comfy. Washing machine was very useful. Would stay here again if I come back to Amsterdam. As mentioned there was still road construction going on right outside so we didn’t get to sit by the canal which would have been nice, but this isn’t in control of the owners.
• Warren (5/5): Passable - Location The accommodation was in a cave under the main house with no opening window it was more like a dungeon with old wornout furniture The owners live above and it was sometimes noisy with loud music one night Best feature location
• Natalie (8/5): Very good -
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location and great hosts.
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angela (10/5): If definitely recommend the apartment you will not be disappointed - It was exactly as described, it was even better when you see it yourself. The apartment is huge but so comfortable. It is in a great location, just a short walk from the train station and within easy access to pubs and restaurants. The checkin and checkout procedure was excellent. Raul was a very good host as was the cleaning lady. I would definitely recommend the apartment. Nothing to dislike, building work being carried out outside of the apartment on the canal but it wasn’t too intrusive and didn’t spoil our stay.
• Dennis (7/5): largest apartment in a cave-like setting. - Location the hosts
• Carolyn (10/5): Fantastic location in an historic building with pretty much everything you need. - Huge space in an historic building. We appreciated the dishwasher and washing machine. Owners were extremely helpful and friendly. The position cannot be beaten, right on a canal and walking distance to most major attractions.
• Kirsty (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, big apartment in such a great location. We are backpacking for a few months and it was so nice to be able to have space to unpack and relax. We used the ping pong table a few times as well. All the facilities you need, we were able to have a couple of chilled nights cooking our own food and watching tv. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Lots of great restaurants around the corner. Close to the central area but far enough that it is quiet and you get a great nights sleep!
• Deb (8/5): Very good - It was a nice space with plenty of room to move
• Bernard (1/5): Bad - We have not provided any other comments on this apartment as we were so disappointed with the apartment that we found alternative accommodation that evening at considerable additional expense and returned the key the following morning.
• Susan (10/5): Great - We thought the photos might exaggerate how large the place was, but it was no exaggeration, the place was huge! There was construction outside, no fault of cave Binnenkant
• Suzanne (10/5): Stunning. Perfect host and the best apartment we have ever stayed in. - Absolutely stunning. Very close to the centre. MASSIVE apartment with everything you need. Couldn’t believe our luck that we managed to get it. Beyond perfect. Nothing. I want to live there.
• S (10/5): Definitely on our “return to next time” list….. - Smart, quirky apartment in a central location with great hosts who dealt with a few minor issues brilliantly. There’s some civic construction work being carried out in the canal side. This took the shine off things a little but was obviously completely out of our hosts’ control. When the work is done, the apartment will be even better!
• Witsberger (10/5): Would highly recommend and we will be back - Very spacious and well appointed. Interesting and unique. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable bed. Short walk to Centraal Station and Dam Square makes it easy to get trams to anywhere. Nothing not to like.
• Filippo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sharon (8/5): Very good -
• Omar (10/5): Perfect location for a getaway in Amsterdam. - Perfect location and wonderful hosts/owners. They made sure everything went smoothly, from initial bookings, to arrival and departure. Highly recommend.
• William (8/5): Very good -
• Derek (10/5): Perfect for walking almost everywhere - Awesome location Great host
• Callum (9/5): Right at the heart of Amsterdam. Everything you need is nearby, people - The amount of space is unbelievable. We stayed for New Year and could have easily stayed in for the whole of our stay.
• Christopher (10/5): Wonderful apartment, the best we have stayed in. - A beautiful basement apartment that has everything you need and much more. Very large with great facilities and added touches and the photos do not do it justice. The owner is very friendly professional and helpful. The apartment is in a perfect location within walking distance of everything but in a calm wonderful location. We simply cannot praise this apartment enough and it is the best we have stayed in and would highly recommend. On top of all of this Amsterdam is an exciting wonderful place to visit and we cannot wait to go back again.
• Rachael (10/5): Perfect! - The location was fantastic, the apartment was stunning and the owners were lovely. I literally have no complaints!
• Katie (10/5): Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Amsterdam! - We liked everything about this apartment - the hosts, location, facilities - everything was fantastic. Nothing bad to say here - we could not fault it.
• Stacie (10/5): amazing! - Title: A Riverside Gem in Amsterdam's Historic Center Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of staying at an apartment along the canal in Amsterdam's historic center, and I must say, it was nothing short of amazing. The experience was a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. Situated right along one of Amsterdam's picturesque canals, the apartment offers stunning views that epitomize the city's unique beauty. The historic center surroundings add a touch of authenticity to the stay, making it a truly immersive experience into Amsterdam's rich cultural heritage. The apartment itself is a haven of comfort. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the stylish decor to the thoughtfully arranged furnishings. It's evident that the owner, Roel, has put a lot of effort into creating a space that feels like a home away from home. The attention to detail is remarkable, and the result is a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Speaking of Roel, the owner, I must mention what a fantastic host he is. From the moment I arrived, he was warm, welcoming, and eager to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. Roel's friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the experience, making me feel like a valued guest rather than just a customer. His local insights and recommendations were invaluable, helping me navigate the city with ease and discover hidden gems that I might have otherwise missed. The apartment is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is well-appointed, making it easy to prepare meals if you choose to dine in and enjoy the ambiance of the canal-side view. The comfortable bed, modern amenities, and spotless cleanliness further contribute to the overall sense of luxury and relaxation. In conclusion, if you're looking for an unforgettable stay in Amsterdam, this apartment along the canal in the historic center is the perfect choice.

• Petebish (10/5): Brilliant choice for a birthday celebration, pretty much in the heart of Amsterdam.*****Recommended - Ideal location, just 6 mins walk from Central station and around 10 minutes walk to Dam Square.
• Ana (10/5): Prime location! - We loved everything about this apartment. Such a great place to chill, perfectly located close to everything and very cosy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. The light switches were confusing. I think I figured them out on the last day.
• Christopher (10/5): Incredible location, amazing property, awesome hosts. Willl try to return. - Everything! The first impression was how friendly and helpful Roel was. He showed us around, and made us feel welcome. He also told us a little about the history of the place when I asked about it. The space is large, and has everything you need, and the kicthen is well stocked. There really isn't anything to say against the property, just awesome.
• Patricia (10/5): Perfect in every way - Great location and facilities and very quirky Nothing
• Basia (7/5): Good - Great localisation, interesting interior design. There was a mouse in the kitchen running from one corner to another. Plus it smells like in the old church unfortunately. Better air conditioning and dehumidification could help. :(
• Lynn (10/5): Perfect location! - The location is perfect, so close to the action but in a nice and quiet area. The apartment is huge and the facilities are great. Honestly, nothing jumps to my mind.
• Hanney (10/5): Your very own piece of history in the centre of Amsterdam - This is a very special place. Right in the centre of the city and with great historical significance.

We will be back! Nothing.

• Vivienne (9/5): Superb -
