Canal View Stay Amsterdam

Exemplifies the Amsterdam canal house experience. Our windows overlooked a canal. The room was lovely, and the house was kept immaculate. It was a brisk walk through the park to the museum district-- or a quicker tram ride. Our host Johannes is a gem-- very pleasant and helpful. I felt we really lucked out in selecting it. The famous "Henry the Heron" was a highlight of our stay. He has been coming by next door for breakfast every morning for the past 14 years, and he was featured in a documentary on the wild birds of Amsterdam. One caution: you don't wish to stay at ANY Amsterdam canal house if you have any mobility issues. The stairs are quite daunting even for the fit. Johannes took our luggage up the stairs for us, but I missed seeing the carry. Surely he must be a gymnast!

If you’re seeking a place to stay in Amsterdam, search no more! This is by far the best accommodation we’ve ever been to. The host, Johannes, goes above and beyond to make sure you have a pleasant stay. You receive a questionnaire beforehand asking for your food/drinks preferences as well as a guide with lists of what to do in the city. The apartment is very clean and is located in a very nice area frequented by locals. There is a park within walking distance and a lot of restaurants/grocery stores nearby. You take the tram and will be in central Amsterdam in about 20min. I love that it is situated in a typical Dutch house, overlooking the canal. It doesn’t get more Dutch than that! Next time my family is in Amsterdam, we know exactly where to stay. :)

Canal Side In The Trees If you are lucky enough to book this one room accommodation in Amsterdam, then you are LUCKY! We loved our stay with Johannes and Inna in their canal side aerie. The room is really comfortable, big shower which is unusual in Europe, bed and bedding great, loved having seating area and a counter with a wonderful view of the trees and the peaceful canal. Johannes packed our frig and shelves with breakfast items, snacks and wine and beer and kept up the supply of those yummy Dutch stroopwafels.You do have to be able to climb steep and narrow stairs, but once up it's worth it! And Johannes happily carried our considerable amount of luggage up and back down the stairs. He was always available to help and gave great advice on things to do in town. It is outside of the city center, but easily reached by tram and we appreciated the calm of the neighborhood. We spent our last day on the private canal boat trip Johannes offers. A lovely and relaxing way to see the city and a different perspective. I hesitate to write this glowing review because we loved our stay and don't want this charming place to become so popular that it's not available the next time we visit to Amsterdam!

Innes and Johannes are a very lovely host, and the apartment at the top was such a delight to stay in. It's very clean, and all amenities are included as per the listing. The hosts are so friendly and Johannes took our bags up and down for us! It's honestly one of the best experiences we have had!! Would stay here again if we are visiting !!!

Room with a view. Our stay started a bit rough, no fault of the owner. The airlines lost our bags. Johannes did everthing in his power to make our stay still amazing. It is very personal, you are his only guest. The view from the room is amazing and everything is a close walk. You are staying in the true Amsterdam not the tourist section. Not to worry the number 2 tram is a short walk away to take you to city center. 1 day in city center was enough. I longed to get back to our section of town near the entrance to Amsterdams largest park. No need to guess what to do or where to eat. Read is professionally made books and you feel like a local in no time. The building is historical and has very steep stairs. Probably not the stay for you if that could be a problem. He will carry your bags to the room. This is a very special stay and I will surely return if I find ourselves in Amsterdam again. Thank you Johannes for a memorable trip.

Johannes was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. The stay was convenient to walk or bike the city, but also he offered snacks and beverages with the stay. When I’m back in Amsterdam, definitely staying here again!
