About this apartment rental
Beautifully renovated and totally restyled downstairs private bedrooms in typical Jordaan house where we live. Located in one of the nicest area of Amsterdam, the Jordaan.
This B&B is in a part of a 20th century house which is in the oldest part of historical Amsterdam; the heart of City, the Jordaan. We live in a streets between 2 canals so there is no canal view, but a quite street. The pin on the VRBO map is an indication where we live but it's not a the canal!
We have tried to preserve the unique historical character of the building while using modern and old things like an old fashion boxbed in our souterrain, see the pictures. The house is completely renovated. Meaning a complete renovation with respect of all ancient details of the building, and a tasteful redecoration that represents style and quality.
You will find all you need to have a comfortable and pleasant stay in this apartment, on this marvelous spot in Amsterdam. A Nespresso and Airoccino is available with Nespresso cups and biological teas, watercooker and tooster. (Due to governmental regulation it's not allowed to have cooking facilities in the B&B). You can use the washing machine and dryer.
There are 2 bedrooms from which the second one is built as a romantic boxbed in the souterrain and can host up to maximum 4 persons. Both bedrooms has a double beds, in total for 4 persons. Outside you have your private and comfortable alley garden.
You don't need to bring linen or towels. It's all available.
All the important museums are close and can be reached by foot, bike, tram, car or boat. There is a great variety of restaurants and pubs in the area. The so-called 'bruine cafés' - typical Dutch pubs - are in great numbers available. What is more on walking distance: The Dam, The Nieuwmarkt, Rijksmuseum, van Goghmuseum, Flowermarket, Noordermarkt (biological market at Saturday), pubs, cinemas, a lot of nice (international) restaurants, theatres, the Anne Frank House, the Zoo, the red light district, many antique shops, famous art galleries, old churches, old synagogues, Waterloosquare, as well as the great shopping streets like the P.C. Hooftstraat, and many many more things to see and do! On the side of the IJ-harbour you can visit the new Library which is the biggest in Europe. (Also books in many languages available).

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
I stayed here for two nights in October 2024. The location is outstanding, just a few minutes Either to a pub or restaurant, or to a tram stop.
Communication was really good with the owner, check-in was super simple.
The Wi-Fi was really good.
I would absolutely stay here again.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2024
Overall, this apartment was good. The location was wonderful and the living space was good. The shower in the bathroom was heavenly. The bedrooms however, were quite tight. There wasn’t any space to walk around the bed upstairs. You had to crawl across it to get to the other side. It was a double bed so it made for very cosy sleeping. There was a nice window to open, so the air was fresh. Another issue with the upstairs bedroom was that there was no space for storage. Some hooks on the walls so that we could hang our clothes would be handy. The bedroom in the basement also had a double bed. There was more room downstairs, but it was quite stuffy since there was no window. Also beware because the stairs to the basement bedroom are very steep.

My adult daughter and I stayed here for a few days on our visit to Amsterdam and could not have been happier! The property is excellent and had plenty of space for us to spread out. Check in and out was easy and it was so nice to have a washer and dryer. The location is great. The street is quiet, but it’s close to everything - the sights, the tram, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend!

Arrival: Jolanda arranged for a housekeeper to meet us to check-in. We contacted the housekeeper before our scheduled time and notified her that we were on public transit and would be about 30 minutes late. She was in hurry, quickly gave us keys, explained that laundry would need to dry on drying racks, asked if that was “OK”, and quickly excused herself before we had a chance to look over the rest of the unit.
Cleanliness: All of the towels were wet and on a drying rack set up in the living room or in a load in the dryer. Trash was left in the kitchen and unit had not been swept or dusted. There was mold on basket in the bathroom. The space had a strong “musty” smell suggesting that ventilation was a major problem.
Laundry: The dryer in the unit was not effective. The reservoir had not been emptied before our arrival and the lint/condenser filters had not been cleaned in quite some time. But even after we took care of that the dryer was still very ineffective.
Accuracy of listing: The photographs of the kitchen and main living space do not accurately represent it. Some lighting fixtures were not working properly and kitchen appliances could use replacing. Although Jolanda mentioned in an e-mail that the cooking options were limited, she did not clarify that the photographs of the kitchen were not up-to-date. We arrived thinking that what she meant by “electric cooking plate” and “microwave” were what was depicted in the photographs but they were not. Also, the map location in VRBO suggests that the unit is located directly on a canal whereas this unit is one block off the canal.
Interaction with host: We contacted Jolanda shortly after we arrived to express our concerns. She was out of town and did not respond until about 24-hours later. She suggested that the trash left behind was actually from us and expressed concerns that we were late for check-in. She also claimed the address was listed on the VRBO listing (which it was not) so we should have known it was not located on the canal. I suggested that updated photographs and accurate map representation on VRBO could prevent future misperceptions but those suggestions were ignored (and still have been as these inaccuracies have not been changed). She offered to have the housekeeper come over to finish the laundry, but given how ineffective the dryer was and that we were leaving the next morning we declined. She responded by saying she did all that she could. Overall a disappointing interaction.
