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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia and Lex

Host profile image
Lex and Sylvia own the house and they live above the apartment. Lex is a retired mathematics teacher. He's passionate about film, has worked in movie programming for festivals and writes about film related subjects. He's one of the organizers of the Dutch Poetry Film Festival. Sylvia is an artist. She paints and exhibits her art on a regular basis. We have a house in Curaçao, Sylvia has an art gallery where she shows and sells her paintings. On our premises is an apartment that we rent out to tourists through VRBO.

Why they chose this property

It's a unique location and the best place for us in Utrecht. We are surrounded by old monuments and churches. We love the old monumental interior in our house. This house is different and we fill it with a lot of art, some Caribbean, made by Sylvia. We love to sit outside on the quay and watch the ships pass by along the canal in front of the house. When good weather people are enjoying the water and that makes us happy too. It fills us with joy to be able to share the apartment on the ground floor with people who come and stay. Everything is at hand around us (shops, cinema, restaurants), that makes life easy.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy full living in the accomodation. Enjoy the unique spot at the water and monumental historic buildings. Enjoy the city center that has everything to offer: bars, restaurants, shops, historic sites and churches, musea, cinema, water sports.
