Cute, well-appointed flat in a terrific neighborhood

My wife, daughter, and I really enjoyed our stay here. The view of the canal outside our front window was stunning. We were close to lots of great places to walk, eat, and drink and the Jordaan neighborhood is stunning. Cido was very helpful in addressing all our needs and even arranged a taxi to the airport.

One of our best VRBO stays

This was one of our best VRBO stays anywhere traveled. Not only were our hosts excellent but the location is incredible. It is in just the right place for walking around for dinner, shopping, and sightseeing. It is only a 10 minute walk from the train station and the trams it will take you all over Amsterdam The apartment itself is on the third floor of a traditional apartment building right on the canal. Truly, this was a delightful place in every aspect, and we highly recommend it.

Perfect location and hospitality!

What an incredible 2 weeks! We stayed at this property the entire time. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood that is minutes away from Central Station, bike rentals, museums and so much more. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to relax and enjoy all Amsterdam has to offer. Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful in recommending places to go. 5 stars from the Robinson’s!

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!

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.

Clean and comfortable

The owners, Cido and Rob, were very hospitable and especially helpful. The apartment was very clean, warm, and comfortable for two. My husband and I were lucky enough to stay for four nights. The view of the canal and street beyond were fantastic. The neighborhood was ideal. Right away, we felt welcomed and at home. I would highly recommend this apartment to any couple looking for a temporary home in Amsterdam. My husband and I certainly will contact Cido and Rob before our next trip to Amsterdam.

Clean and comfortable

The owners, Cido and Rob, were very hospitable and especially helpful. The apartment was clean and comfortable for two. The view of the canal and street beyond were fantastic. On two mornings, we were able to watch the market set up across the canal (as well as enjoy the market buzz). The neighborhood was ideal. I would recommend this apartment to any couple looking for a relaxing, temporary home in Amsterdam. We will certainly contact Cido and Rob before our next trip to Amsterdam.

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.

Amsterdam

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 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!!

Parfait !

Nous avons adoré ce logement qui est parfaitement bien situé et dont la vue sur les canaux, l'église et sa place est superbe. L'appartement est confortable, cosy, bien équipé. Un vrai nid douillet. Cido et Rob sont adorables. Si je devais revenir sur Amsterdam, je reprendrais cette location les yeux fermés.

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.

Watching The World Go By ...

Lovely property with a picturesque view of a lively canal and local passersby. The very best location with helpful hosts. Just a note about stairs instead of elevators. Only a note - not to detour! Looking forward to our return.

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.

Perfect place to stay in Jordaan

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this lovely bright and spotlessly clean apartment. It had everything we needed only wish our stay could have been longer! We felt that Jordaan is the best part of Amsterdam with everything on your doorstep. We will be back, thank you Cido and Rob.
