About our home
PLEASE NOTE: OUR HOME COMES WITH A HOUSE CAT TO CARE FOR.
Large, homely and light family apartment in the very heart of Amsterdam. Situated in the cultural Jewish quarter, on a calm (not touristy) street, we look out over one of Amsterdam's oldest canals and regularly watch fabulous sunsets from our almost floor to ceiling windows. Close to many attractions with something for everyone and all easily accessible by foot, bicycle or public transport. Award winning restaurant and one of Amsterdam's foremost cocktail bars - if you fancy - across the street. Amsterdam, as well as the surrounding area (including beaches and nature) are on the door step to explore by foot, bike and tram/train. There are 3 bedrooms (plus an additional sofa bed in the open plan area if needed), 2 bathrooms and a large open living space for cooking, eating and lounging. Piano for those that would like to play. Finally, 1 loving easy to care for indoor cat. Visitors tell us that we have one of the best views in Amsterdam from the apartment - come and see for yourself! The apartment is used to kids - though ours are teenagers - younger children should not be a problem.

Annie's reviews
As a host (5)“The Apartment is in a Great location with easy excess to the city Unfortunately our arrival was delayed by a few days which was not a problem for Annie We enjoyed our stay and can fully recommend this apartment for future travellers”
“We absolutely loved this swap, for we could not make it to a further away country we still wanted to have a short break during the xmas holidays. The trip was special, for Amsterdam was so quiet, and we fully enjoyed it.”
“beautiful apartments and cats :) right in the center of Amsterdam with canal views. we had a great stay. ”
“Annie’s home is just lovely. She had everything set up for our arrival. She was available for contact if we had any questions. Brilliant Amsterdam location. We also enjoyed the company of the two lovely family cats. ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Something for everyone young and old. There is a so much to do within a short walk, cycle or tram ride. At the end of our street is the house where Rembrandt lived and worked (now a museum), the local fleamarket as well as the National Opera/Ballet. On the other end of our street is the Science Museum (called Nemo) as well as the National Maritime Museum - both great for kids of all ages including older ones! Hermitage Musuem is very close. Plenty and plenty more of cafes, bars, restaurants - nearby with a focal area being the Nieuwmarkt which hosts an organic market on a Saturday. We leave a list of our favourite places for guests. For the kids - the zoo is also close as well as a TunFun - a large indoor playground, laser gaming and bowling. This is the Jewish Cultural Quarter of Amsterdam so if you are interested in Jewish heritage there is the Resistance Museum, Holocaust Museum, Jewish Historical Museum and the Portuguese Synagogue - all fascinating insight to the history of this part of Amsterdam. With the big well known museums such as the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh not far away there are also some of Amsterdam's hidden gems such as "Our Dear Lord in the Attic" very nearby. As the so called "Venice of the North" of course there is water everywhere which means boats and more boats and canals for endless light summer days or darker winter days with magical lights wandering along, stopping off at cafes or bars to enjoy world heritage views or just to people watch. Magic. If you are coming with kids, that need baby sitters for evenings we could probably connect you with some local babysitters.
