About this property

Perfect central and quiet Canal Apartment

Stylish and quiet ground floor apartment in one of Amsterdam's most beautiful neighborhoods. Enjoy a village-like atmosphere a stone’s throw away from the buzz. A perfect and peaceful retreat after a busy day of sightseeing. Public transport, supermarket, restaurants, bars and (organic) market within walking distance.
The bright and sunny canal side apartment consists of a spacious living room, a bedroom with a luxurious king-size bed, a bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art DeLonghi whole bean coffee machine. The sofa couch in the living room can be easily converted into a large second bed for two adults.
The apartment is nicely furnished and includes a Smart TV, with a full range of channels, wireless Sennheiser headphones, high-speed WiFi and a Sonos One speaker.
The Western Isles neighborhood is like a village on the edge of the historical city center. Four hundred years ago it was the first expansion of Amsterdam. It is a quiet neighborhood made up of canals and converted warehouses. As Lonely Planet puts it: "The artistic and creative soul of the city hidden in the charming Western Isles. This small archipelago is bathed in wonderful tranquility, but is awakened from its slumber by bobbing houseboats and bicycles rattling over the wooden bridges. Beneath the former grain , herring and tobacco warehouses, intrepid travelers will now find studios making everything from film and music to painting and designer furniture”.
The Haarlemmerplein with a supermarket and organic market on Wednesdays is only 150 meters away. The famous shopping street Haarlemmerdijk is a 200 meter walk, the lively Jordaan with its bars and restaurants 500 meters, Central Station is a 15 minute walk or a short bus ride. The Anne Frank House is 1.5 km away and Dam Square is 2 km away.
Bus and tram stop 'Haarlemmerplein' 150 meters away. Taxi from Schiphol Airport 20 minutes, € 60.
I rent out my apartment to more than 2 people only in case of families (parents with children).

We really enjoyed our stay at Sebastian’s lovely apartment. Well located, we walked everywhere but there is public transport nearby. The apartment is warm and comfortable, the kitchen has everything needed and Sebastian’s welcome gifts has started a lifelong addiction to stroopwafels!

Simply wonderful
We enjoyed four fabulous spring days staying at this charming apartment. The location within an easy 15 minute walk of Central Station made our visit to the sights of Amsterdam easy. The apartment had everything we needed to cook at home. It was lovely and quiet so we slept well. But the highlight of the apartment is the host Sebastian who was very kind and always extremely helpful.

Fantastic stay
We had a fantastic stay in Sebastian's apartment. It was so close to everything, yet away from the crowds and lovely to return home each day to the peace and quiet. Nicely furnished and had everything you needed if you wanted to stay home and cook. Very handy to tram, train and bus. Sebastian was the perfect host, met us on arrival, and kindly farewelled us on departure. Communication throughout whole process was excellent. We couldn't have asked for more!

A well located, modern and perfectly presented property with a great host
Sebastian was a brilliant host, making us feel most welcome and attending to various matters to assist us. His communication was first-rate. The property had no stairs, was very secure and had a nice outlook. It was fresh and modern and with a very convenient compact kitchen. The location was very quiet with the delights of Amsterdam just a short walk away. Overall we had an excellent stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this quaint, beautiful apartment by the canal. Sebastian was a most gracious host willing to answers any questions we had. I’ve been to Amsterdam three times and this was by far the best experience. I would highly recommend this apartment!

Raises the Standard for Hosts
Our stay at Sebastian's place was simply the best I have ever had. Sebastian's commitment to ensure the best possible stay went so far above and beyond what was expected that it will be a tough experience to top. Between the generous welcome gift, to mapping out where to go, providing recommendations and even facilitating luggage storage and a ride to the airport on our departure day, it was a truly exceptional experience. Cannot recommend it enough if you are coming to Amsterdam, quiet location but still easily accessible to all the major spots. Tremendous job Sebastian.

Great apartment in Amsterdam.
My husband and I spent 8 days in Sebastian’s apartment. Everything was perfect. The flat is in a great location, very clean, with a comfortable bed and a wonderful coffee maker. We even had a welcoming bottle of wine and snacks awaiting us when we arrived. Sebastian provided a neighborhood guide to restaurants, grocery stores, laundry etc. He answered all our questions very promptly. All in all he was an excellent host and we would highly recommend this flat to anyone.

Peaceful and Clean Accommodations
We were so happy with our apartment. The street was so peaceful. You couldn’t hear a thing. The accommodations were immaculate. All amenities needed. Our host was right there to meet us when we arrived by taxi and helped with our luggage even though it was early in the morning. The coffeemaker was wonderful. We enjoyed the freshly ground coffee and espresso it made. Lots of storage space. Comfy bed and linens. Very spacious. Very safe. We could walk to a nearby square where the tram #5 stopped. The building is situated in front of a canal. Parakeets flying around and the cooing of pigeons were the icing on the cake. We would definitely stay here again. Sebastian answered my questions promptly by email when we had a question and was very helpful.

Amsterdam
Our host, Sebastian, was a true gentleman from beginning to end. We spent 8 days in this apartment after taking a transatlantic cruise. Sebastian was kind to greet us when we arrived early and stowed our suitcases. From there, he had maps and area information readily available, answered questions promptly, furnished fresh towels half-way through our stay, and even offered to mail our package back to the States for us. The apartment is located in a safe, residential area on a canal. Restaurants, the bus headed into Central Station and a grocery store was an easy walk; just a block away. We would definitely stay in this well appointed property and heartily recommend it for any and all travelers.

Amsterdam stay
Very clean, quiet apartment on a backwater canal. 5 minute walk to buses and local restaurants/shopping. Sebastian is an excellent host. We walked from Amsterdam Centraal train station as it was Kings Day and crazy busy. Took about 30 minutes. After we got used to the buses we had access to everything.

A wonderful place to stay
The apartment is great, very comfortable, king bed and a nice little kitchen. We did not cook but ate breakfast and some takeout in the apartment and there are sufficient dishes, spices and a small refrigerator with freezer. The apartment is close to the grocery, lots of restaurants and shops, the bus stop and a tram. We made good use of a 5 day bus/tram pass that was well worth the money for us. The bus to the central station took less than 10 minutes which was handy for day trips. The neighborhood is very quiet overlooking a canal. Sebastian was so nice to orient us and stop by periodically during the week to see if we needed anything. Everything was great.

Fabulous location
Sebastian was a great host, making our check in and out friendly and easy. The apartment is exactly as listed, and the location could not be better. The apartment faces a quiet canal but is just is around the corner from a busy square with a fresh food market, cafés and quick access to bus and tram lines that took us everywhere we wanted to go.

Perfect Apt in Great Location
Sebastian was a fabulous host! He was out of town and still arranged for us to be greeted and he stayed in touch throughout our stay. We loved the location and took advantage of Sebastian's culinary recommendations. The grocery store was close, as well as the tram and busses. The apartment was even nicer than in the photographs. Very clean and comfortable. We loved the espresso machine!

Nice clean, quiet apartment in a great location.
The apartment worked out really well. It was a short walk to the center of everything, and very quick to the train station. Yet far enough to be nice and quiet. Some nice spots to eat, drink a short walk away. And the host was more than attentive and helpful to us. Would recommend for sure!

Amazing Apartment
We started making our 2 week anniversary trip arrangements a year ago. We wanted an apartment that offered us a place that felt safe, clean, comfortable & convenient to both restaurants & transportation and this place had it all. One of the perks was how the apartment is designed with a separate king size bedroom. Super comfortable bed, I might add. Sebastian was so helpful before we arrived and during our stay with our questions. Super knowledgeable about the area too. Staying here made our 35th anniversary trip even more special. When we return, it will be the #1 place on our list to stay at! 😊

I'm a born 'Amsterdammer' and love this city. Although I love to travel it's always good to be back in Amsterdam. I'll be happy to advise you where to go and what to see.

Why they chose this property

I always dreamed to live in this neighborhood so when I had the chance to buy a property here it was a dream come true. I have been living here for more than 20 years now and still are very happy with my choice.

What makes this property unique

The neighborhood is the best of both worlds: the quiet and laid-back atmosphere of a small village with all big city conveniences a stone throw away.
