A Gem in the City

5 of 5
Submitted: April 28, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
My husband and I stayed at the apartment over Easter week and we found it to be extremely clean, well appointed and very well located.  After a day of sight seeing in the crowded sections of the city, it was a treat to come back to this residential area to relax and have dinner with the locals at one of the many nearby restaurants.  People were very friendly and we enjoyed the many conversations we had with them.If you like to save money and do some cooking at home, there is a good grocery store close by the apartment and there are ample pots and pans and other items needed to make a meal.Since my husband and I are seniors, we took advantage of the tram and train systems.  The tram stops are close by the apartment and it took less than ten minutes to reach the train station.  From there we could easily get to other areas of the Netherlands.

A gem in Amsterdam

We stayed here for 4 nights. This apartment couldn't have been any better. Very clean, EXTREMELY comfortable bed, well equiped kitchen. This apartment is located on the longest canal in Amsterdam and it is close to many wonderful places. It was so quiet. We had great meals within a block of the apartment, and the tram is only 1 block away. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
Liesbeth is very helpful and she is a gracious host. Don't miss this gem in Amsterdam. The rates are SO reasonable. I think it would be crowded with 4 people, but it was PERFECT for 2.

Great location. Easy to get on the tram, close to cafes and parks. The apartment had just right for two adults and a kid. The back patio was a nice mellow hangout space after our son had gone to bed!
We were in AMS during the heat wave this summer, and the canal house was cool all day!
Highly recommend it!

Jordan Canal House

5 of 5
Submitted: July 6, 2010 Stayed: May 2010
My 80 year old mother, twin sister and myself stayed at Liesbeth's canal house in the Jordan. What a perfect location. Had access to a hop on and off small bus that we only had to wave down and took us all over the Jordan and into Central Station for only one euro. Saved a lot of money in transportation and it was easy th get to the tourist attractions The canal house was spotless and very well equipped. The backyard was marvellous and we sighted a rooster and a hen who resided next door.Liesbeth was full of information and very accommdating .A must is to shop at the Saturday market just behind Anne Frank's house.There is two of them. The organic market I found was pricey. There is a mush cheaper and larger market close by.I would advise to shop at that one. Best place for fresh products to take back to cook and enjoy at the canal house Thanks ever so much Liesbeth, Stevina and family,Toronto,Canada

Our family of two adults and two teens stayed here in early April 2010 and really enjoyed it. The apartment was very clean and attractively furnished. The view out the front windows is to the Prinsengracht, which is a lovely canal. The bedroom is very light, with huge windows out to the very quiet garden area. The kitchen has a small fridge and nice stove and microwave. Our kids slept in the living room, one on the futon couch and one on a mattress on the floor. For four, it was a bit of a squeeze, but the great location made it worthwhile. Liesbeth, the owner was very gracious and helpful. The WiFi was a nice amenity as well. It is an easy walk to the Van Gogh and Rikjsmuseums, Vondelpark, the Liedseplein area, and the Nine Streets shopping area. We would gladly stay there again.

A delightful place - definitely worth a repeat visit!

My husband, young daughter and I shared this apartment in late March/early April. It is private yet, also perfectly situated in a great neighborhood in the centrum of Amsterdam, which allows for easy access to all of the trams, major tourist destinations, restaurants and scenic spots. We could walk out the door and find groceries, great espresso, sandwiches and a delicious dinner at the cafe on the corner.

The kitchen is fully equipped and the living room is spacious, cozy, comfortable and welcoming, which was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment is quiet as well with a great view of the canal in front. The garden in the back is very pretty too - a second nice view! I will absolutely recommend this apartment to any friends/co-workers interested in visiting Amsterdam.

We were very happy and satisfied. I hope we'll have a change to visit again very soon!

We have stayed in this flat every summer for six years, and are now coming back for our 7th summer. I think that probably says it all! We love the flat, the location, the amenities, the owners. There is nothing NOT to like! This is the best location in Amsterdam, and is close to everything except the noise. We would recommend this to anyone.

My husband and I had a most enjoyable stay in this
lovely Amsterdam apartment. It is close to
everything you need to have a marvelous time in
this great city. The kitchen is perfect for preparing
meals from the nearby fantastic butcher shops and
cheese shops. A huge outdoor market is only a few
blocks away where you can purchase absolutely
anything you want! If you don't want to prepare a
meal from the fine array of offerings,excellent
restaurants are within walking distance.
Transportation is almost at your doorstep so in
minutes your can be at a museum, a park or in the
Dam area. The owner is wonderfully friendly and
helpful.

This is an ideal apartment in a prestigious area of Amsterdam, yet is private and very comfortable....very near trams 4, 16, 24. Gracious owners with wonderful perspective on Amsterdam. Fully equipped with an Albert Heijn grocery store just a block away. All major sights within walking or tramming distance. Highly recommend this peaceful oasis in high-energy Amsterdam.
