About this property

Historic Wharf apartment on the canal in the city center

The B&B is on the waterfront in an historic building in the center of Utrecht. With all the bustling going on in the streets above, here you find peace and quietness. The spacious one-room apartment allows you to eat, drink, sleep, work and relax in an artsy atmosphere.

The front of the room has a settee and a large dining table. There's a television, cd-player, free Wifi. In the middle there are 3 beds and at the back of the room you find facilities for making tea or coffee. The kitchenette has a refrigarator, microwave, cooking facility and sink and all kitchen utensils and towels are provided.
The bathroom is a separate room at the back. Total surface is 50m2. French doors open onto the quay. Folding table and chairs are available for sitting outside on the quay.
The canal is just 3 meters from the front door. The house was built in the 19th century as a warehouse, so don't expect a modern high tech 21th century apartment, but an old restored house with much character.
The quay, only accessible by foot or bicycle, is right in front of the house.
The streets above offer bakeries, grocery stores, museums (Centraal Museum, Universiteitsmuseum, Catharijneconvent), the cinema (Louis Hartlooper Complex). All within 3 minutes walking distance. Walk to the centre along the Oudegracht and you'll find vintage stores, boutiques, historic buildings café's, bars, restaurants, water sports activities and all the modern shops.

Cozy canal stay
Everything about this property was perfect. Check in and check out were very easy and we had very clear instructions with photos. The host was kind enough to clean the unit and change the bedding half way through our two week stay. Being able to open the doors right out to the canal is truly a unique experience. We happened to be staying there the weekend that the Sinterklaas parade came down the canal, which was an absolutely magical. The unit itself is cozy and has everything you need for your stay. The hosts even provided snacks and breakfast for our first morning, which was a welcome surprise. The bed is two twin beds pushed together and is very comfortable. I was a little worried from the pictures that I would be too tall for the shower, but we had no problems. It is bigger than it looks. The Internet was very fast and reliable. There were so many amazing restaurants and cafes within walking distance. There are also several grocery stores very close by. The neighborhood is wonderfully quiet and peaceful but is only a short walk to the city center. If we ever come back to Utrecht, I would love to stay here again.

Super Lage schöne Unterkunft
Wir haben uns bei Sylvia und Lex sehr wohl gefühlt und die Kommunikation war super. Die Lage am Kanal war super und man konnte schön draußen sitzen. Direkt an der Unterkunft gibt es Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und die Lage ist so dass man gut zu Fuß unterwegs sein kann.

charming apartment on the canal
The apartment is beautifully situated on a canal and is furnished with several works of art. Silvia gave us a warm welcome and gave us valuable tips for things to do. The proximity to the streetcar station "Vaartsche Rijn" is very advantageous if you want to go to the Science Park or the train station "Utrecht Centraal".

Charming studio, right on the canal
The location of this studio is just excellent! So close to restaurants, bars and shops. We walked everywhere, and it’s also close to public transit. The studio is so charming and fun! It’s very well equipped, and perfect for two people, or even three. Our daughter joined us for a few nights and it was quite comfortable for the three of us. Sylvia was a wonderful host, and answered all our questions promptly. My favorite thing was watching the boats go by in the canal while having my morning coffee. It made our visit to Utrecht very special and unique. I would love to come back in the summer and stay at Sylvia’s place again.
