Guest Reviews

• Melanie (8/5): Clean, comfortable and great location - Location was great and really central. The hosts were kind, the place was clean and comfortable. The shower worked well. For the amount, we would have appreciated better towels and a bit of tea or coffee in the kitchen. If you're a light sleeper, be aware that a couple of the roof windows don't have blinds/curtains, so the morning light will come in.
• Luke (8/5): Central location and comfortable - Very friendly owner We left clothes in the wardrobe and the owner posted them to us Very much appreciated The double bed was against one wall making it difficult to climb over someone to get in
• cacciapaglia (7/5): - La camera molto bella, in perfetto stile olandese. Vista su tutto il canale e ulteriore vista nel giardino interno. Poco
• Jean François Huguet (10/5): - La situation est parfaite. La proximité de la gare et la vue imprenable sur les canaux. La gentillesse de Tobias et ses conseils de restauration. Très bonne adresse. Ras
• Susana (9/5): Alojamiento céntrico - La situación y la amabilidad de Tobías Ducha un poco pequeña
• Maureen (10/5): Great location, best host and perfect for 2 people - Location was awesome. Host was incredibly kind and helpful. My daughter and I stayed for a week and it far exceeded our expectations Highly recommend staying here if visiting Amsterdam We loved everything. No complaints at all!!
• Monica Aurelia (7/5): -
• Frazer (10/5): Gorgeous weekend stay - So cozy and clean
• Goktug (9/5): -
• massimiliano (10/5): che dire...MERAVIGLIOSO - Praticamente e tutto molto bello l'appartamento e molto bello e pulito e il Sig. Tobias e stato molto gentile in tutto. nulla.
• René (10/5): Parfait et les propriétaires très très sympathique - J ai tout aimé Peut être pour que cela soit parfait , rajouter un petit four micro-ondes , mais rien d important
• Maria Gloria (10/5): Excelente estadia! - Excelente ubicacion! muy buen trato de parte de Tobias muy atento y amable
• Bee Lay (10/5): Good and clean apt! - There apt is cozy and accessible to transport and china town is less than 10 min walk away. Full cooking facilities and utensils. Though it is for 2pp but the sofa is comfortable for a 3rd pp Tobias is very nice and give good advise. Always reachable and responsive! Perhaps put a shower stopper to prevent hair stuck in the water hole or slow down water flowing out.
• Christoph (7/5): - Gute Lage am Kalkmarkt in der Altstadt Amsterdams. Freundliche Vermiteter. Die kleine Wohnung bietet von der Funktionalität her alles, was man braucht. Das Bad ist okay, dürfte bei dem Übernachtungspreis aber gerne mal wieder saniert werden. Die Lichtführung ist nicht gut. Kein helles Licht über der Küchenzeile. Ein Schalter steuert alle Deckenleuchten. Wenn im Wohnbereich das Licht brennt, brennt es auch im Schlafbereich. Da kann sich ein guter Elektriker bewähren.

• Quentin (10/5): Un excellent séjour! - Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Peter, ainsi que les 5 magnifiques chats qu’ils possèdent. L’emplacement du logement est tellement bien situé qu’on a visité une bonne partie d’Amsterdam à pied. La gare Centraal station, le musée de la marine néerlandaise, le musée des sciences, le musée Rembrandt sont à 10 minutes. L’arrêt de bus de la ligne 391 qui va à Zaanse Schans est à 2 min pour la visite des moulins à vent. L’appartement est au 4ème étage d’une belle maison typique d’Amsterdam, qui offre une belle vue sur le canal, très confortable et cosy avec un équipement complet. Nos hôtes restent vraiment disponibles en cas de besoin. Rien

• Patricia (8/5): -
• Katie (10/5): Cozy stay in the middle of Amsterdam - The apartment is in a great location, perfect for getting around all the canals and central area, train station is literally a six minute walk. Can’t really go wrong. Tobias was a great host who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Nothing to dislike about the property. Wish the cats from upstairs could come down and give us cuddles 🥰
• Xavi (7/5): Agradable pero podria ser excel·lent. - Cèntric, tranquil i ben comunicat. Rebuda molt agradable i cordial, amb disponibilitat i predisposició del arrendador per solucionar i ajudar en tot. Cuina petita pero molt ben equipada amb tot el necessari. Net i molt ben endreçat. - La cortina del bany es una solució del arrendador a una porta de mampara que es debia trencar i que ha quedat sense reposar i no hi ha espai per dutxat-se sense que se t’estigui enganxant la cortina tota la estona. Molest i incòmode. - Addicionalment les juntes de les rajoles estan negres de fongs i dona molt mala impressió. - El armari impedeix accedir facilment i anar al lavabo a la persona que ha de dormir al racó de la paret. - Si et molesta la llum per poder dormir, la cortina que tanca i separa de la entrada, es insuficient.
• gaelle (10/5): - Un séjour parfait dans un appartement charmant! Idéalement situé. Hôte très réactif et sympathique. Très propre et confortable.
• Rowan (9/5): - Welcoming host, really cute apartment with everything we needed and in a great location
• Danielle (10/5): - Loved the location, fast wifi, and how well equipped the place was.
• Margherita (9/5): -
• shoma (10/5): 完璧です、みんな宿泊すべきです - 全てにおいて完璧です 無し
• Alain (8/5): -
• Paola (7/5): Calme et très bien situé - Le calme, l'emplacement (proche de la gare, métro, tram et bus), la surface, la vue, grand lit confortable. propriétaire sympathique et accueillant Attention: Ne convient pas aux personnes à mobilité réduite : l'appartement est situé au 4ème étage sans ascenseur. Ne convient pas aux allergiques aux chat. Ils sont dans la résidence, au rez-de-chaussé.
• jack (9/5): -
• Mery Grace Sca (6/5): - Posizione,gentilezza di Thobias ed i Gattini presenti all'interno dell'area comune.
• Thomas (6/5): - Preis Leistung
• Lisa (10/5): - Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Die obere Wohnung bietet alles was man braucht, die Atmosphäre ist sehr angenehm und die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist ebenfalls sehr angenehm, man kommt zu Fuß und mit den Öffentlichen schnell überall hin, um die Stadt zu erkunden. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, vielen Dank!
• Meaghan (8/5): A lovely apartment. Great location. Responsive and considerate owners - Fab location! Comfortable bed. Lovely and quiet Drafty front door
• Bruno (10/5): Un séjour romantique - L’emplacement, la vue et le côté typique en attique Rien
• Paula (10/5): Totally recommended - The studio is just perfect for two people. Less than 15 minutes by walk from Centraal Station. We found it very confortable, warm, clean and cozy. Tobias was in the main apartment when we arrived (at around 11am), gave us the keys and let us leave the backpacks with him although the studio wasn't ready. We met a couple hours later so he could show us the studio and explain how everything worked. He is super nice, and you can tell from the start that he cares and pays attention to every detail. Nothing, everything was great and I wouldn't change a thing.
• Thomas (7/5): -
• Carol (10/5): Fantástico - Os anfitriões foram 5 estrelas, super prestáveis tanto pessoalmente como por mensagem. Logo à entrada fomos recebidos por 7 gatos absolutamente lindos (com os quais pudemos conviver na sala/átrio a qualquer hora). O quarto tinha bastante espaço, uma tv, dois pequenos sofás e a típica porém bonita vista para o canal, a cama era super confortável, a cozinha estava bem equipada e a casa de banho era agradável também, bastantes toalhas, almofadas e edredões extra providenciados, gel de banho, sabonete e champô e ainda aquecedor e ventoinha. O aquecimento é central e tem temporizador porém há instruções de como ligar caso necessário. Em termos de limpeza também estava tudo ótimo. Localização fantástica a poucos minutos a pé do centro, numa área super tranquila. Em termos de preço tendo em conta que fiz a reserva muito perto da data acho que foi justificável. Definitivamente voltarei se possível. Ficámos no último andar portanto era bastante cansativo subir e descer tantos degraus.

• Bettina (8/5): -
• isabelle (10/5): Très bel endroit - La déco, l’espace, la vue, le mobilier
• Soares (8/5): Very good overall - Everything was great except the points mentioned about the sofa. I felt some unpleasant smell on the sofa, and also it was not super clean behind the sofa
• aurelien (10/5): Séjour idéal - Emplacement idéal Hôtes très sympathique Vue superbe Proche métro Aucun
• Elisabeth (8/5): Alles gut geklappt, gerne wieder!!! - Alles super und wie immer unkompliziert!!!
• Francisco jose (9/5): - La ubicacion y el trato La ducha se puede mejorar poniendo una mampara y algo mas de presión de agua
• Ethan (10/5): An incredibly satisfying stay in the heart of Amsterdam. Clean, cozy, relaxing, supported. - Tobias is extremely responsive and catering to our every need during the whole stay. We felt warmly and genuinely hosted. The property is well kept and maintained. The facilities covered all needs of a couple that likes to cook and eat in, as well as explore the city. Everything is within walking distance. The atmosphere of canal side homes in a residential neighborhood - rarely a car passes. Mostly serene and calming silent boats gliding by between the tree-lined cobblestone ways. We most likely will be back at Kalkmarkt. We stayed five nights in the sub-street level suite, a few steps down and hidden in a cozy flat for two. Sad that's it's over... Now seriously - make sure the washroom vent is running often to ensure proper good ventilation of the suite. The proximity of the washroom to the bed makes this a non-negotiable. Washroom door open-close a bit tricky to negotiate the lever.
• bertrand (8/5): Très bel expérience. Appartement à recommander. - Bel appartement ancien, typique des entre-sols d'Amsterdam. Excellente situation géographique entre la gare et le centre-ville, au calme et face aux canaux. Appartement confortable avec un vrai coin salon et une belle table de cuisine-salle à manger. Peut-être un peu plus de matériel de cuisine mais c'était déjà très bien. Amsterdam est une ville horriblement chère et, dans ce contexte, la location, chère par rapport aux prix d'il y a quelques années, est dans un bon rapport qualité-prix du marché.
• Tracy (10/5): - Good location, room was great
• Anne Marie (10/5): - Great Host - wonderful to be greeted by a human rather than a key box - wonderful cats in the lobby offering calm affection
• Tina (8/5): - Comfortable cosy apartment. Easy walking distance to the centre. Lovely cat's to welcome you. The stairs were very steep but what do you expect from an original Dutch house.
• James (10/5): Great place to stay in Amsterdam. - Location was perfect. Within walking distance of good restaurants, interesting shops, beautiful canals, and metro. Our suites were very clean and comfortable. Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome with complimentary coffee, tea and sparkling water. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. The only thing that was not quite right was an electrical outlet by a mirror in 1 bathroom.
• Kerem (10/5): romantic room in central amsterdam. - this is our second time in here. it's awesome place, very good view, in the middle of amsterdam and very close to central train station good host.
• Ramunas (10/5): -
• Martha (9/5): - Lovely traditional property with lovely hosts
• Anastasiia (10/5): -
• Steve (8/5): -
• Tobias (10/5): We had the best time - beautiful and cozy little apartment in perfect location. Very tasteful decorated and the host was super friendly, welcoming and helpful.
• brooke (10/5): - A wonderful stay! Tobias was a very helpful host. We had all of the amenities needed to feel right at home, plus a lovely view of the canal from the top floor apartment. The location is perfect - everything within walking distance but on a quieter street for a very peaceful stay.
• Manuela (9/5): wunderbarer Aufenthalt in einem typischen Amsterdamer Haus! - sehr freundliche, sympathische Gastgeber, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, das Appartement ist hübsch eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist perfekt - mitten im Zentrum und die Aussicht malerisch! Als Katzenliebhaber waren wir begeistert von der netten Begrüßung durch die lieben norwegischen Waldkatzen!
• Boudier (9/5): Fabuleux - Emplacement proche de la gare avec vue sur les quais. La présence des chats dans la hall très accueillant Hôtes très gentils et arrangeant L’absence de volet
• Irina (9/5): Good choice! - Very nice hosts! A lot of cats - we were waiting to meet them all, cat lovers =) Perfect view. A lot of space. Very good equipped. Perfect location - in the center, but not noisy. Old house = authentic and really sweet, but narrow stairs (3d floor on foot) and no air condition (but there was a fan). We were ready for that.
• Tim (10/5): - Veronica was kind and helpful. And the location is close to the central part of the city. It was perfect for us!
• Elisabet (10/5): - A wonderful apartment in every respect. What I particularly liked was that the bed had an excellent mattress and two duvets. Special thanks for providing coffee, which tasted great!
• Candice (7/5): - Right on the canal so there was lots to see If you are allergic to cats there might be a problem as there were 4 Norwegian forest cats with long fur
• Anna (9/5): -
• Ignazio (9/5): -
• Mansfield (9/5): -

• Selin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tove (10/5): Charming apartment in great location, thank you for having us! We had a great time. -
• Dia (10/5): Great find - Great location and the property itself was really nice (decor, space, view, etc). Hosts were friendly and accommodating N/A
• Dimo (10/5): Beautiful apartment in the old historical center of Amsterdam. - This is the top floor of a typical beautiful old Dutch house in the historic center of Amsterdam. It’s been beautifully renovated and furnished. The steep stairs, old wooden window frames, and wooden surfaces throughout the interior are a charming part of the place’s authenticity. Gorgeous lite from every directions. Amazing view to the channel. Great communication with friendly hosts. For us, the adorable cats lounging in the window on the ground floor were an added bonus. I wholeheartedly recommend it. A bit pricy
• Louise (9/5): Central location, clean and comfortable - Very friendly hosts, welcoming and helpful. We were allowed to check in early and they looked after our suitcases when we left. The accommodation was cute, clean and comfortable. The location was amazing, very central and by the canal. We even got to meet their gorgeous 7 cats, which was a bonus.
• Josephine (10/5): Exceptional - It's a great little apartment with everything you could need. Warm at night and open windows in the day. A great position for the main centre of town. It was very helpful to be able to leave our luggage with the owners until our flight time. Thank you again.
• Lars (10/5): Great location - Location was key. Great area and could walk easily from central train station dragging 20kg bags - 15-18 mins. The reviews mentioned the stairs, its true, there are many and steep BUT the view is best at the top. I am over 60 and had 2 x 20kg bags that I could use as a backpack, I was cautious going up and down BUT worth the effort !!
• David (10/5): Very nice basement apartment, great location. -
• Trevor (8/5): Really good spot Tobias was very particular in his presentation - Very well appointed good location Cats were a bit noisy on the floor above if l wanted to be picky
• Bruna (8/5): Very well located - Really well located and good installations. The location in the basement of the house was a bit weird
• Patto_family_4 (8/5): Very good - Great location. Just outside the tourist area but close very close walking distance to everything. Nice quiet area. Host was very helpful. Everything you need was supplied in the kitchen, including a few extra nice items :-) Sleeping area a bit tight.
• Dana (9/5): Superb -
• Tom (9/5): Beautiful house and location, within walking distance to the Central Station. - The location was wonderful. It was in the historic centre of Amsterdam, but in a quiet residential area, with houseboats and canals all round. Nothing really to complain about !
• Ivan (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is amazing! Very clean, stylish, and well-furnished – it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is just perfect, right in the city center, making it easy to reach all the main attractions. A special mention to the host – very friendly and welcoming, she showed and explained everything in detail. The only thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is slightly below ground level. This doesn’t affect comfort, but it’s worth noting for those who pay attention to such details. Other than that, it’s a great place to stay!
• Paulina (10/5): Cozy place in the middle of the city. - Perfect place, smack in the middle of the center, yet calm and peaceful. The hosts were extremely kind and helpful, while the cats were super friendly. The top room has a beautiful view. We couldn't have had a more pleasant time there!
• Kirsty (9/5): Superb -
• Frances (9/5): A great stay in a very comfortable apartment in a great location. - Very comfortable attic apartment and welcoming host. Excellent location for trains and also museums and a nice view over canal. Very friendly cats in main area. They do not come to the apartment but might be an issue if guests don't like cats. We enjoyed being welcomed by them each time we returned to apartment after a day out. Stairs are very steep, which could be an issue with big luggage. However steep stairs are normal for old Dutch houses.
• Kadir (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kerem (10/5): Fantastic window view with cozy flat - Very close to city centre such a lovely view from window. Top floor no elevator but we already knew that.
• Mohamad (10/5): Super, strongly recommend - Location, cleanliness, price, facilities, very comfortable Big room with own bathroom and kitchen, amazing canal view, 10 minutes from the centre and 10 minutes from central station. And the host super friendly and welcoming Nothing to complain It’s exceptional
• Stuart (5/5): Passable - Close to central station and seemed perfect as didn't want to stay in a hotel and after a major operation 6 months ago I need to sleep often after eating and cannot eat out so self catering was best. Studio was beautifully presented and it seemed perfect if a little pricey . Tobias welcomed me early allowing me to leave my luggage and there was free coffee pods, juice and water provided. It was so noisy from above with people constantly walking around and the noise made it impossible to sleep during the day which I often need to do after eating. There was a lot of people above on the Saturday night with music again making it hard to just relax. The heating also played up but it seemed to sort itself out before I contacted Tobias so just one of those things. However the house next door was banging and drilling into adjoining wall the whole 3 days which is not the fault of the studio but it was so so disturbing. All in all I paid too much when a hotel of a similar standard would have been quieter for me allowing me to rest/sleep when needed.
• Heidi (9/5): Beautiful apartment in a lovely area. - Tobias, who speaks fluent English, met us at the apartment and explained everything to us. He had organised some little extras, so we felt straight at home. The apartment is centrally located. As I have health problems we booked the basement apartment, which is easily accessible. We would definitely stay there again. We liked everything.
• Stephanie (4/5): Disappointing Stay Despite Great Location and Some Kindness - Our stay at this property had a few positives, but unfortunately, the negatives far outweighed them. What We Liked: 1. Location: The property is in a fantastic location, making it convenient to explore Amsterdam. 2. Spaciousness: The room was generously sized, which is always appreciated for a longer stay. 3. Late Check-In Courtesy: Due to a delayed flight, we checked in after 10 p.m., and the property was kind enough not to charge us for the late arrival. What We Didn’t Like: 1. Overwhelming Smell: We knew there would be cats on the property and thought it would be a nice treat for my cat-loving partner, but the overwhelming smell of cat urine turned it into a nightmare. The smell hit us the moment we opened the front door, following us all the way up the stairs, but thankfully not permeating the bedroom. However, the smell was a rude shock on early mornings, and worse still on three mornings, we left the property to find cat urine and vomit on the exit foyer, making leaving and returning to the property deeply unpleasant. 2. Bathroom Issues: The bathroom had black mould, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness and hygiene. 3. Towels: The towels smelled like cat urine as well, to the point where we had to wash them at a laundromat just to make them usable. It’s upsetting to shower only to dry off with towels that smelled worse than before. 4. General Cleanliness: These issues suggest a lack of basic upkeep, which severely detracted from the overall experience. 5. Access: While we didn’t mind the four flights of circular, steep stairs, not everyone is young, fit, and healthy. Guests should be made aware of this in advance, as it may pose a challenge for some. We had saved for two years for this trip, which was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This room was by no means cheap, so it’s incredibly disappointing that our five-night hub in Amsterdam was overshadowed by the dread of returning to such an uncomfortable environment. We hope the management takes these concerns seriously and makes necessary improvements. With proper cleaning, maintenance, and clear communication about access, this property could offer a much better experience for future guests.
• Federica (9/5): Wonderful stay in old side Amsterdam - Location is prime! Also love the cats and the apartment was spacious Lighting was a bit lacking in the kitchen, stairs very steep and not easy to access with suitcases
• Oleksandr (9/5): Superb -
• Taya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Woods (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a real sample of the wonderful old houses in Amsterdam - The location was spot on and pretty much in the middle of the main area within walking distance to all the major areas of interest and bus/train area. the little apartment has excellent use of space and the amenities all catered for. You need to be quick checking the bike traffic, not a case of ‘ look left then right then left again’. do that twice.before you crosss any road. But cars and taxis are quite polite.
• Gray (10/5): Exceptional - We had a gorgeous time in Amsterdam, the apartment is lovely, such a treat to stay in an old style Amsterdam house on the canal. The bed is very comfortable, there is great views out onto the canal. The little added extras were appreciated e.g., coffee, biscuits and rituals minis in the bathroom. The place is central, very easy walk from the station and into the old town. The hosts were really lovely and attentive, gave us a couple of recommendations for places to eat when we arrived quite late which were great! The cats are so cute too! Would definitely recommend this apartment and would love to come back if we are ever in Amsterdam. Nothing- we had a very enjoyable stay. Thank you :)
• Max (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amy (10/5): Beautiful apartment in lovely location! - The apartment is so beautiful! Love the architecture and artistic details. Really lovely. Location is close to everything but not in the middle of the madness, perfect. Also loved being greeted by their beautiful cats. You have to walk through their home to get to the apartment. And you need to make sure the cats do t get outside or into your apartment. I loved that but some may not. Host was very kind and helpful!
