Guest Reviews

• Drew (10/5): Great location, apartment clean & tidy with helpful host. - Location and size
• Carl (10/5): This residence deserves 5 Stars +! Staying in the Red Light District Amsterdam, best accommodations - The setup with 2 apartments was perfect. We stayed in the upper unit and it was huge and amazing! Amenities galore and the Owners (Judy and husband) were incredible hosts! The location, furnishings and amenities exceeded my expectations, and I wasn’t ready to leave. Cannot say enough and our next trip to Amsterdam, this is the place, just want to much longer! The bathroom is downstairs next to the laundry room, but no deal breaker as the bathroom and laundry area was amazing too!
• Maria (10/5): - Central location and very nice home interiors and lovely host Being petite..everything was a bit high for me but the host provided steps immediately when I requested.
• JOANNE (10/5): Perfect, comfortable and a home from home experience, which is just what we were after. - The property was in a perfect location, right on the canal and so quiet at night you could hear a pin drop! It was spotlessly clean and spacious, and perfect for me and my Mum as the only steps are the four steps to go down into the property. It was lovely to sit out the front in the sun with a glass of wine and watch the world go by! It was a ten minute walk from the Eurostar station, and easy to walk everywhere. The owners were there when we arrived and we saw them on the day we left too and had a lovely chat. They are so welcoming and friendly, and gave us lots of tips about where to go. I’d definitely stay again. We loved everything

• Laura (10/5): Fabulous!!! - The location is amazing, the apartment is beautiful, perfect temperature, the host left a bottle of champagne and goodies on our arrival, which was a lovely touch! Thank you for the best new years celebrations!!! Nothing

• Moetaz (9/5): Beautiful place in the heart of Amsterdam - In the heart of Ams
• Viacheslav (10/5): - There was the most beautiful accommodation i have ever seen. The important thing is location, it is so comfortable when you live in the center of the city when all you need is so close Everything was perfect
• Jack (10/5): -
• Jordi (8/5): -
• Margarita (7/5): We had a booking at a different location but they canceled on us at the last minute. Booking.com provided this alternati - Noisy, located in the red light district and lots of cannabis bars around
• Emma (10/5): - This place was fantastic. Its such a big beautiful apartment with great amenities. The washing machine and dryer was an added bonus. Location is really great, right on a canel in the red light district giving you that real amsterdam experience. Nothing to report
• לימור חסון (6/5): מיקום הדירה נפלא אבל המחיר גבוה בעד התמורה - מיקום הדירה פגז. 2 דקות הליכה מהחלונות האדומים ו400 מטר מכיכר דאם. הדירה מאובזרת לחלוטין החל מפותחן ועד למכונת כביסה. ג'ודי בעלת הדירה אישה יפה ומרשימה קיבלה אותנו בחיוך ואף איפשרה לנו להשאיר את המזוודות אצלה כמה שעות לפני הצ'יק אין, זה היה נהדר כי לא היינו צריכים להתעסק עם אחסון מזוודות בכיכר דאם במקום זר. קיבלנו דירה נקיה, מגבות ומצעים נקיים. במטבח ג'ודי שמה לנו גבינה הולנדית ובקבוק יין במתנה. המיטה מאד נוחה אפילו יותר מהמיטה בבית. מיטה מפנקת, שמיכות וכריות נעימים, מצעים נקיים והמזרון נח ומעולה. הדירה הינה דירת מרתף, ללא חלונות חיצוניים. יש חלונות שפונים לתוך מבואה וזה לא מספיק. בכניסה לדירה התקרה נמוכה מאד וממש צריכים להתכופף כשנכנסים תוך כדי ירידת מדרגות. קודם נכנסים לתוך מבואה שבה מאוחסנים כל האופניים של בני המשפחה ואז יש דלת שנכנסים לדירה. כתבתי לג'ודי בעלת הדירה הודעה שהתמונות לא תואמות את המפורסם בבוקינג והיא טענה שיש 2 דירות וזו הדירה שבחרתי. בבוקינג ממש לא מפורסמות 2 דירות. ביקשתי ממנה לראות את הדירה השניה והיא טענה שהדירה בתפוסה מלאה. באותו יום של ההגעה אחרי הנחיתה רצינו לנוח ונרדמנו ופתאום שמענו רעש חזק במבואה שהעיר אותנו. זו היתה בעלת הדירה שנכנסה לאחסן את האופניים שלה במבואה שהיא למעשה חלק מהדירה ששכרנו. ראיתי את ראשה מבצבץ דרך החלון כשאני למעשה ישנה במיטה. היא לא הציצה חלילה אבל ראיתי אותה בעת שהכניסה את האופניים. כשעה לאחר מכן הגיע אדם נוסף עם אופניים להכניס למבואה. שוב התעוררנו מהשינה בגלל הרעש הגדול מירידת האופניים במדרגות כי אין אופציה אחרת חוץ מלגרור אותם. הפעם פתחתי את הדלת ואמרתי לו שאנחנו ישנים ובתוכי כעסתי והתאכזבתי נורא. לאחר הערה זו אף אחד לא הגיע עם האופניים בימים הבאים לשהייתנו בדירה, אבל החוויה הראשונית היתה לא נעימה בכלל. דבר נוסף שהפריע לנו זו ההליכה של השכנים מלמעלה בקומה העליונה, שומעים את תפיפות רגליהם מהתקרה גם בשעות הקטנות של הלילה מי שמתהלך למעלה נשמע היטב בדירה, זה ממש הקשה עלינו. זרם מים חלש מאד במקלחון וזה קצת מבאס.
• Pavlína (10/5): -
• Arsenii (8/5): -
• Nicolas (10/5): - L'accueil de l'hôte malgré une reservation last minute. Emplacement dans Amsterdam exceptionnel, dans le quartier rouge mais super intime et pas du tout dérangé par le monde qui déambule dans cette rue toute la nuit. Le lit est au top ainsi que le reste des équipements. C'est appartement atypique offre une belle experience de confort. Une douche avec un peu plus de pression serait agreable 😉
• Kirk (10/5): Perfect Apartment in great location - Beautiful spacious apartment, right in the city centre. Would 100% stay again Nothing
• Andrew (8/5): Very good - Location and roomy accommodation Saucepans supplied but no stove as per description.
• Neil (9/5): A top notch apartment in the perfect location in Amsterdam - clean, easy accessible and great value. - Perfect location - could not have been better!! Great apartment - perfectly clean and beautifully appointed. Really appreciated the gifted welcoming bottle of wine and the cheese!!! Nothing - it was all super!!
• Gregg (10/5): Great room, canal view in Red Light District - Great view, great location, well stocked, washer and dryer. Loved it, top notch
• Nate (10/5): Fantastic place - The location was perfect and the service was fantastic Bring earplugs to sleep
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - Absolutely perfect location! Apartment was clean and has everything you need and more. Judy the host is lovely and very accommodating, any questions we had were responded to really quickly. Super comfy bed, massive TV and also bikes available to use if you want to. Also a GHD hairdryer which impressed me! Highly recommend!!
• Christel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (7/5): City apartment – ​​not for business, elderly or children - A stylish apartment, most suitable for a couple, as the kitchen and bedroom is in open plan. Centrally located in Amsterdam, right by the Red light district. A bit noisy area, but not a big problem. The kitchen is big and the bed comfortable. Although it is a nice apartment, it's totally overpriced. This accommodation does not meet the standards of a luxury hotel. First warning: To reach the bathroom (with a bad smell) you have to go down a narrow staircase into the basement, which may cause problems for people with poor balance, the elderly or children. Second warning: If you are traveling for business, it was a big problem to get the owner to send an invoice after the stay. And when it finally arrived a month later, it was missing valid information.
• Joshua (10/5): Amazing location and great host! - Beautiful apartment right in the center and walking distance to everything. It was exactly what we were hoping for! Everything was perfect
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Such a fabulous apartment in a location which has everything and from which it is so easy to get to all the usual attractions that Amsterdam has to offer. The apartment is spacious and super clean, there is so much space to sit and rest up at and to watch the world go by. The owner is very attentive and helpful and communication is very quick. All in all this is just a great place to stay at and one I hope to be back at in the future. Highly recommended!
• Alqabbani (10/5): Best appartment - Everything !!! NA
• Akaki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kenneth (10/5): Excellent - Great location
• Demi (10/5): Loved the stay here would defo return and recommend to friends. - Comfy, cosy, clean and in centre of everything pretty much. Larger towels would have been good and had to message for heating to be put on but not a massive issue to us.
• Jeanni (10/5): Would stay here again! - Excellent location near everything. The large apartment was very clean and well stocked. Judy did her best to accommodate us and answer questions. Would have been nice to have a couple of luggage racks.
• Rudd (10/5): Gorgeous little hideaway - We loved this apartment so much! Great location and the bed was so comfortable. We didn’t want to come home! Highly recommended. Clean, spacious and just so lovely. Considering it’s smack bang in the middle of the chaos that is the red light district it’s extremely quiet inside you won’t hear anything. The front door was a little tricky to get in but once mastered it was fine!
• Simon (10/5): Perfect… - Absolutely stunning and in the best location in Amsterdam Nothing
• Jill (9/5): Comfortable, cozy, quiet and very walkable. We would stay again! - Cozy, comfortable apartment right in the middle of things! Surprisingly quiet and the host was great. Very responsive to our questions. Very helpful. A little awkward to get in and out of but not a problem for us. We loved it.
• Milva (9/5): Quiet hideaway in the middle of Amsterdam’s red light district - Such a cute space! It has a modern/contemporary feel to it. You walk into the bedroom area which includes a king size bed, night stands, lamps, a couple of chairs, a large tv (live tv or you can sign into your favorite streaming service), a large map of Amsterdam, and an armoire (with full length mirror). Next is the bathroom which is a great size for the apartment. It includes a shower, sink, vanity, mirror, hair dryer, toilet, towels, toilet paper, and basic toiletries (shampoo, body wash, toothbrush, etc). Finally, French doors separate the kitchenette which includes a table, 4 chairs, a fridge, sink, microwave, air fryer, and plenty of cabinets filled with basic kitchen items (plates, glasses, silverware, etc. There is also a small closet in the kitchenette that houses the washing machine (full size for European standards). We spent 3 nights and truly felt at home. The apartment is in the HEART of the red light district so there are plenty of things to do and people to see. Yet, when we were tucked in for the night, we didn’t hear hardly any noise from the outside. It was a perfect location, very safe (two locking doors), and easily walkable to the many wonderful sights Amsterdam has to offer. The host was FANTASTIC, communicated clearly and was there to support us with anything we needed. Next time we are in Amsterdam, I plan to book this apartment again. These are things to be aware of as they are personal preference and not a knock on the apartment. There are 5 or 6 steps to get down into the apartment. It is below street level. Finding a place without steps in Amsterdam is nearly impossible. Lol. We prefer a firmer bed and a couple of firm pillows, but it was absolutely fine for a few nights. We would have loved to dry our clothes on a drying rack rather than hanging them throughout the apartment. The closest parking garage (Oostersdok) is a 10-15 min walk so be aware of how much you need to carry/tow. Dropping off your things at the apartment and then parking isn’t a feasible option. Parking in Amsterdam is expensive, but you can pre-book at the parking garage’s website for a significant discount (80% off during our stay). Again, none of this is a negative on the apartment or the host.
