A great Amsterdam getaway

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at Christy’s handsome B&B Bovien - she is the perfect host. All our requests were met with a prompt, helpful response. The stairs were a challenge for 4 seniors with some mobility issues but we took and time and Christy’s family helped with the luggage. Would stay here again - thanks Christy.

Wonderful apartment. 4th floor walk up but worth the climb! Great layout and great light. Clean and well appointed. Christy was a warm and welcoming host and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment in great location

This is a beautifully appointment apartment with high ceilings, luxury beds/bedding, and tasteful decor. It is brightly lit from tall windows on both sides and is quiet due to being on the top floor. It included everything we needed for our stay, including toiletries, iron/ironing board, fridge/sink/kitchen items, hair dryer, and washer/dryer. The owners are very responsive, warm, and welcoming. They greeted us upon arrival, carried our luggage up the stairs (4 flights/no elevator, which is common in Amsterdam, so not good for anyone with mobility issues, but we are all in our 60s and did fine with the stairs), and checked in with us throughout our stay. Wonderful hosts! The fridge was stocked with drinks, there were snacks/fruit available, and the kitchenette has a nice coffee/espresso maker. There were even fresh flowers in the apartment. I will stay here again on my next visit!

Charming Perfection.

We were two ‘senior’ couples. The apartment suited our needs perfectly. The beds and linens were quality, with well designed bathroom for each room. There sitting room was comfortable. The location allowed us to explore a neighbourhood with great restaurant choices. Easy to navigate the trams into the centre of town and elsewhere. Caution on the four flights of stairs, but we all managed them by taking our time. One of us was 6 months post knee replacement, and the stairs were a bit daunting, but not impossible. The apartment’s comfort was worth the climb. And, Christy made the stay very memorable with her friendliness and helpfulness.

Lovely host, lovely property, great location, but be warned the unit is 4 flights up those world famous Amsterdam staircases. Overall our party consisting of 2 couples was well served by Christy's apartment, the only thing we found lacking was a microwave. Would stay again.

Beautiful property in a quiet, residential neighborhood

Christy was a great host, communicating consistently with us before and during the stay. The property was clean and looked like the pictures. It is near tram stops, making it easy to travel around the city. The neighborhood is residential and quiet, with a variety of restaurants within a few blocks walk. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place for two couples to explore Amsterdam

We really enjoyed our stay. The space is just as described except we were surprised that the apartment is on the fourth floor, and the steps we're steep and narrow. That being said, there were a couple of pleasant surprises as well. We arrived before check-in and were invited to leave our luggage, and when we came back, all of the luggage had been brought up.

Great Amsterdam Experience

If you are looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam, this is a great option. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms aren’t easy to find in a historic property and it was perfect for us (two couples). Tons of unique restaurants right outside your door as well as grocery stores and access to public transportation. Close enough to the tourist area but also far enough to escape some of that busyness. Within a couple blocks of a huge park as well. Christy was very responsive and offered some great advice about places to visit when we checked in. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful stay

Fantastic apartment perfectly placed outside the main tourist zone. The area is great for food and bars, easy access for trams to the centre. Christy was brilliant and went beyond what was expected, leaving us food and drinks for our late check in. Beautiful area of Amsterdam the local bar olympia was fab and the spagetteria and night kichen awesome restaurants. We would definitely recommend and would come back. Thank you Christy for making our stay amazing.

Return to Amsterdam

We used to live in Amsterdam so it's the perfect jumping off place for people who are familiar with the city. Great hosts, super friendly. Near great restaurants, coffee shop and bike (and car) rental. Little quirks with the place - tough to get in the front door, typical super steep dutch stairs. That would be my one watch out - it's a place for people who are in good shape. Not fun to bring luggage that's 40+ pounds up 4 flights of tight stairs.. But once you get up there - beautiful place, great light and plenty of space for a family of 4.
