Perfect spot for a quiet stay in Amsterdam

Our stay in this lovely apartment overlooking the Prinsengracht canal was part of what made our visit to Amsterdam so wonderful. The apartment is on a quiet street and just a short walk away from public transportation, so it was easy to reach the museums and neighborhoods we wanted to visit. There are many good restaurants close by as well as several markets for food shopping. Everything was as described in the listing -- the apartment is airy and comfortable. Cido was very responsive to our questions both before and during our stay. Great place to stay!

Excellent apartment and location. The property manager got confused about dates several times and also double-booked our first 2 days stay in Amsterdam. Thus we had to book a hotel for the first 2 days. Lastly, the manager got confused about emails from which she determined we wanted to check out 2 days early. We never understood why she concluded that and we had to assure her that our plans had not changed. It was odd to say the least.

Wonderful and idyllic!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The apartment is a gem, charming and bright, and the location is AMAZING. We sat in the living room and gaped at the beautiful view right over the canal. It was well stocked with kitchen basics had guidebooks and maps. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and even let us check in a bit early since the apartment was ready. If it hadn’t been ready, they had offered to let us store luggage in the luggage room downstairs. (This was a huge plus, because a big problem with staying at a home-away-from-home rental is that all flights from the US to Europe land in the morning and then you’re often stuck dragging heavy luggage and nowhere to go for hours.) I traveled with my husband and teen son and he slept on the sofa bed, which he said was quite comfortable. I would love to stay here again.

Beautiful house, in a perfect location

My family and I stayed at Cido’s apartment for a few days during a visit to Amsterdam. It was the perfect location. Close to shops and restaurant and just a few minutes from Anne Frank house. Cido was so helpful, always responsive. She was so kind to get us an extra air mattress, which allowed my teen sons to sleep in their own bed which they really appreciated! The apartment was very clean and comfortable. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I came to Amsterdam.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a great time during our stay here. The standout features of this incredible apartment are: 1) location right in the middle of the beautiful (and quiet) Jordaan neighborhood within walking distance of most everything, 2) great view onto the canal and street while relaxing and drinking coffee, 3) highest standards of cleanliness and also charm of the furnishings (bed was very comfortable and got a thumbs up from my picky spouse), and 4) last, but not least, was the kindness and helpfulness of Cido, the host. She helped us figure out transportation to/from airport, and her friendliness and flexibility enhanced our stay. Other reviewers have noted the stairs as a consideration if you have mobility issues, but we had no problem with them. We highly recommend this property and hope to repeat our visit again in the future. Thanks, Cido!!

All about the view

Charming, characteristic apartment with typically huge windows looking out over the townscape. What's particularly nice is that, instead of "just" looking at houses across the canal, you see the Westerstraat coming in at an angle across the canal and joining two streets - so you're treated to the bicycle show at all hours. Completely mesmerizing.

Gem of a location on Prinsengracht

This is a gem of a location on the Prinsengracht canal, a short walk to museums, beautiful canal walks, historical sights, the Jordaan, and the city center. Or if you want to wander further out and explore Oud-West and nearby parks, this is the perfect home base! Cido and Rob are friendly and gracious hosts that will make you feel at home and like a local. Quick to offer great tips for ice cream, brunch, or the Saturday market in the square across the canal, they are sure to help make your stay in Amsterdam a memorable one. The apartment is comfy and a great spot for people watching the parade of boats on the canal and the bikers and pedestrians on the streets, yet still a quiet spot for a restful night of sleep each night to recharge for a new adventure the next day.

Happy to look out at the view!

We ate in each night after walking our legs off all over Amsterdam with one day at the K. Tulip gardens. We were being careful about Covid even though rates had just dropped and there are many cute places. We got used to the three flights. The apartment was just like the photos. The farmers market across the canal Saturday and flea on Monday AM were terrific. We loved the local shopping street’s grocery and other stores. It is on a gorgeous street. The boat trip down the street is worth it but don’t go weekends.

Charming Amsterdam Stay

It would be impossible to find a more charming and welcoming option for an Amsterdam stay. Cido and Rob are gracious hosts who offer their guests a base that is exceptionally well stocked with the comforts of home as well as reading materials to orient to Amsterdam. The apartment on a canal in lively, colorful Jordan which offers exceptional options for dining and entertainment, including local markets. The only drawback are the three flights of steep stairs leading to the apartment. I mention this as a consideration for those who may be traveling with heavy baggage.

Beautiful View

Many good reviews for this property so will not repeat as we found prior reviews accurate on size, condition and views from this flat. Pay attention to comments on stairs - they could be an issue for some. We are both 67 and in decent shape. We got two 45# bags up 3 narrow flights and used the stairs 3-5 times per day for a week with no problems. Owner were out of the country visiting a parent while we were there so all communication was via email which worked fine - for most things. Neighborhood around the flat is spectacular, especially the Saturday market directly across the canal. Tram is a few blocks over but we walked to museums and most other locations. I would suggest using a cab from the central train station if you have luggage of any size. We used the Taxi TCA app and got a flat rate just like Uber. FYI - this summer there are special exhibits at both major art museums. Order tickets ahead online. Same for Ann Frank house. We saw many disappointed people at all three locations.

Exactly As Advertised

A tidy and well appointed apartment, everything works and there are many thoughtful touches to smooth your stay. The hostess is top notch in the helpful department, very welcoming and available if you have questions. The added bonus to this apartment, in a city with quite narrow canals and streets, is wide the vista you have across the canal to an open square and view of the North Church. It lifts your heart. Shops and cafes close to hand, and the Saturday organic farmers market across the way is an added benefit. Truly Home Sweet Home Amsterdam. Highly recommended.
