Photos and Description of the East Amsterdam vacation apartment rental

This light, bright and airy apartment in the 17 century canal area of Amsterdam sleeps 2 (living room, study, bedroom; a western king size double), has an open plan kitchen and is located in the very heart of Amsterdam between the Prinsen and the Keizers gracht.

Most of the important museums like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum, the Leidseplein, the Vondelpark, the Rembrandtsplein, the shopping streets and the best restaurants are all within walking distance. If you don't want to walk, the nearest streetcar/tram stop is less than a 5 minutes walk.

About Frank

Hi I am a 41 years old guy from Amsterdam and I work as a human recourses consultant in the logistics industry. My partner and I have been living in the center of Amsterdam for many years, we both love Amsterdam, its compactness, its friendly atmosphere, its noisyness, its tranquility. Originally I am from the eastern part of the Netherlands (If you want to know the difference between Holland and The Netherlands I am happy to tell you when you here) and moved to Amsterdam when I was 21. My first room (student housing) was just around the corner and from that moment on I new I wanted to own an apartment in this part of the city.

Frank purchased this apartment in 2001
Why Frank chose East Amsterdam

Although no longer living there we don't want to sell it because its such a nice apartment in such an ideal location.

Whenever we have family or friends over we let them stay there and everyone who has always loves the great location!

What makes this apartment unique

From the south facing balcony at the back side of the apartment you have a nice view of the gardens of the 17th century canal houses on the Prinsengracht. It is amazing how peaceful and tranquil it can be in the middle of a buzzling city like Amsterdam.

We stayed in Amsterdam for one week and opted for an apartment instead of a hotel. After very thorough online "shopping" during our planning process, we found Frank's apartment at the most reasonable price and what seemed to be a very central location in the canal area.

Frank met us at the apartment when we arrived and walked through the apartment with us. His book for his guests is great - grocery store walking directions, nearby restaurants, how-to for appliances, etc. He also gave us a check-in gift of wine, candies and espresso pods. The apartment was as described (wonderful!). Appliances and Wi-Fi worked great. Frank took the time to show us how to connect iTunes to his Bluetooth speakers (so great).

After staying in the apartment for a week, we found the location to be perfect for our sightseeing, eating and experiencing needs. We walked or took the tram everywhere we went. The two tram stations were about a 2- or 3-minute walk from the apartment. When we stayed there in April 2013, there was construction taking place in the building directly across from us. It didn't bother us at all as we were both awake by 7:30am. The construction began sometime between 7:40 - 8am and ended no later than 4pm.

We had our luggage, souvenirs, coats, shoes, etc. stored in this second room and so we were able to fully use the bedroom, kitchen and living room space.

We highly recommend Frank's apartment and it is on the top of our list to rent if we return to Amsterdam.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in this superb and spacious apartment. It was spotless and very well equipped including a washing machine and dryer. The extra study was a great area for storing our suitcases.

The location couldn't have been better. We walked to everything - Anne Frank House, the Hermitage, the Rijks Museum and the Dam. It was a nice quiet apartment even though it was only one street off the main road.

Frank, our host, gave us a lovely welcome with a bottle of wine and local sweets. All the arrangements were really easy. We thoroughly recommend this lovely apartment.

Wonderful location,great host!!

The appartment was excellent. Well equipt and very comfortable. It is well situated for easy access to all the amenities, eating, shopping and transport. And plenty of museums within walking distance, if that's your thing.
The welcome was particularly good, as was the wine, coffe and mints that came with it.
Would certainly consider using this property again.

We have just returned from a perfect week in Amsterdam. The apartment was everything we hoped for and more. Bright, airy and spacious with all the facilities we could possibly want. We were there for new year and the location was amazing, as we were well situated both to enjoy the magnificent fireworks and festivities and to appreciate the canalside houses. The local bars and restaurants were excellent. Thank you Frank for recommending Morlang, we went twice and loved the food and ambience. That said, we enjoy cooking and your recommendations of where to shop were really helpful. The kitchen is small but well equipped and we had many pleasant evenings in, punctuated by late night visits to the local bar! Overall, everything was clean, well equipped, stylish and comfortable. The location was perfect for museums, galleries, shopping and just to enjoy the real beauty of the local area. We are definitely planning a return visit. Thank you again Frank for everything, including the coffee and treats!

Outstanding location, in the middle of everything, yet away from the noise. The apartment has all the comforts of home and more! Immaculately maintained, looks actually better in reality than in the pictures. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and stay there again myself. Frank is a great host. Restaurant nearby: Casa Peru (on Prinsens Gracht 50 m from the apartment)

Perfect Apartment in the Perfect Location!!

This apartment is absolutely perfect! We stayed for one week in early October and everything was to our liking. The location is very central and we were able to walk everywhere. The tram is also just around the corner for those who would prefer to take public transit. Although central in location, the apartment was very quiet and outside noise was never a problem. The apartment was sunny and spacious with an extra room (den) which was great for storing luggage and other belongings.

The furnishings are new and modern and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for anything you need to do. We prepared breakfast each morning and although we went out for dinner, you could certainly prepare full meals in the apartment if you wish. The king-sized bed was awesome (more comfy than our bed at home) and we slept well every night. The linens were lovely and plentiful. We used the laundry facilites before we left and they were excellent as well.

Dealing with Frank, the owner, was a pleasurable experience. We communicated throughout the renting process via email and he was always prompt and informative. He greeted us upon arrival, showed us around and surprised us with welcoming gifts (yummy). He was also considerate in ensuring we had a few essential things to get started so we did not have to run to the store to stock up right away. He has prepared a book that answers all kinds of questions and provides useful information about the area. As well, the apartment contained several information books relating to Amsterdam/Holland.

If we return to Amsterdam in the near future, I will not even look for other apartments. I will email Frank to see if his is available. Thank you, Frank, for everything.

I love this apartment. Everything about it is perfect. If you want to be centrally located then this is the apartment to choose. Everything is within easy walking distance. The museum quarter, Anne Frank House, flower market and to make it all better you are within the canal area. The apartment is as described. No surprises and very comfortable. I was there two weeks and it felt like home.

Clean, Modern and Great Location

The apartment was as advertised. All the appliances and even the cookware are in like new condition. There is no traffic noise since this is the end of a very small street. It is centrally located in a great part of town and has good access to public transportation, restaurants, shopping, etc. There are also bike rental places within walking distance.
The owner is very accommodating and keeps the place spotless. He provided a book in the apartment with all the information you will ever need about everything in the apartment and lots of good info on the surrounding area. He also provided suggestions for good restaurants to take a client to dinner. I stayed here because I was attending a trade show at the RAI and the owner helped me work out public transportation to and from without taking Taxis.

This apartment was in a great location for all parts of the city. Very tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable and Frank made us feel really at home. Surprisingly quiet for a central location and very close to many good eateries especially for breakfast. We would certainly recommend to anyone else.
