We were among the early tenants, staying 14 days a year ago. Maarten was most hospitable, ensuring our comfort and helping us to find and select ballet and classical music recitals, and suggesting galleries as well as museums and day trips. Stylishly renovated, the apartment overlooks the picturesque Brouwersgracht Canal, is handy to local shops and restaurants, and just a short walk to Centraale Station and the city transport hub. Canal Cruise boats glide by frequently adding to canal views. Although the apartment has space for two more people, access to the bathroom is via the main bedroom space. Older travellers able to negotiate two flights of stairs would enjoy this location. We valued Maarten's helpful advice and would definitely return to stay. A happy, memorable sojourn for us.

Satisfying in every way. Great apartment in perfect location. Maarten was a great host too. I would recommend to anybody desiring a locals type experience in amsterdam.

Maarten went out of his way to help us organize the next part of our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble. The apartment was clean, light spacious and comfortable providing a central location close to services and all points of interest in the old city. The information and documentation he provided on points of interest was clear, detailed and extensive.

Lovely, totally renovated apartment right on the canal.Full kitchen with good appliances, including dishwasher. Queen sized bed, with good reading lights, Bathroom all tile, super clean. Apartment is on 1st floor, 1 set of stairs.
10 minute walk from central station, no problem with wheeled suitcase, two super markets, 1 organic, 5 minute walk, restaurants nearby, 5 minute walk to tram lines.
The owner, Maarten, was a wonderful host, lives in the building, as was very accommodating.
This was the 3rd vacation rental in Europe in the last 15 months, and the best by far.

Having the operating manuals for all appliances in English was a great help
Highly recommended.

Great place to stay, clean and well equipped with fantastic view. Gracious host. Excellent location.

Wonderful hosts and a beautiful, airy, spacious, modern and comfortable apartment make this one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. I was moving to Amsterdam to live and completely spoiled myself with a stay at Canal View when I first arrived. The location is close enough to everything you want to see, but but far enough away to be away from noisy tourist crowds. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, and wonderfully comfy bed to crash in afterwards. Highly recommended!
