Photos and Description of the East Amsterdam vacation apartment rental
3 bedroom, canal view

Beautiful, elegant and luxurious double apartment with canal view in one of the prettiest areas of Amsterdam. In the heart of Plantage-quarter, around the corner of the zoo, the Hermitage-museum and the famous skinny bridge. Quiet but only a five to ten minutes walk from most tourist attractions.

The apartment is large, 135m2 (1400 ft2), two top floors. I bought the place 3 years ago, after a complete renovation and I furnished it with the help of a professional interior decorator, warm and elegantly.

Wooden floors, a fully equipped kitchen, steam oven, satellite TV, ADSL, bathroom with jet stream. Haestens bed! (that's Swedish top-quality) Two terraces. Best thing about the apartment: it's very light!

Master bedroom, spare room with a single or double bed and study/guest room. Two separate toilets, one big bathroom.

(I had a look at other Amsterdam-apartments listed on this site. It surprised me how small they are, considering the amount of guests they say they can accept... For some people that's not a problem, but if you prefer a five-star-apartment: choose mine)

(towels, hair-dryer, soap & shampoo's are for you to use, just like the coffee, tea, pasta, sugar, herbs & oils. If you have special wishes, like gluten-free products or a cot for your baby: let me know!)

Why Mark Schalekamp chose East Amsterdam

I'm sure you'll love my property! It is an oasis in the heart of Amsterdam, at walking/cycling distance of all the main attractions. My apartment is light, very comfortable, spacious and elegant. You'll feel at home - just like the ones who have rented it the past year!

What makes this apartment unique

The light - the canal view - in the heart of the city but still quiet

We were a group of 5 (3 adults and 2 kids) who have found -as suggested in the description of this lovely apartment- "the oasis in the middle of Amsterdam”. It was my first time in Amsterdam and having stayed at a so-called 5-star hotel the during the first three days of my trip, I was blessed to spend the second half of the trip in this beautiful apartment. Photos are great reflecting all the light, cleanliness and abundance of space, yet what you won’t see in the photos will be waiting for you upon your arrival: amazing view of the canal, proximity to the city center with absolute privacy, the serene decoration with subtle sophistication and most importantly the urge to renovate your own bathroom when you get back home (beautiful renovation, just beautiful). The city is festive enough, so is Mark’s neighborhood, yet in a quiet tone. We spent most of our time around Prinsengracht: walked to the Hermitage, Rembrandhuis, shopped in the markets listed on the map Mark prepared for us, dined in restaurants on nearby Utrechtsestraat, had afternoon drinks along Amstel. If you are new to the renting an apartment concept, Mark is a great host to start it with. We were in touch with him from beginning till the end getting immediate answers to all of our questions. I highly recommend this property, you will be delighted.

Perfect!

We were in Amsterdam on business and preferred a apartment to an hotel. We were very lucky with this apartment: it was even better than the pics suggest. Light, spacious and very comfortable. Good beds, fine towels, very nice bath room. Close to all the city-centre-hotspots, but just outside its noise. Mark was a very generous and helpful host. Tahnk you!

The apartment looks in reality even better than in the pictures! It is bright and spacious, my wife loved the view, the bath tub, I liked the comfortable beds (Haestens!) and the fact that everything worked as it should.
Its location is good: in the centre, but not in the neighborhood with the backpackers. Many nice restaurants around the corner (we loved the Ysbreaker!).
Mark is a very good host, very communicative, friendly (and it is nice to stay in a writer's place, we thought), he even helped us to carry the suitcases up the stairs.
We can highly recommend it!
