  • Claire and Sam - Korenbloemen (27 June 2008) We had a wonderful week and really enjoyed our first time in Amsterdam! The apartment is lovely and in a brilliant location for seeing all the sights. We found the people very hospitable and hope to return soon.

  • Kai and Raquel - Korenbloemen (05 June 2008) Awesome apartment! Great location. We loved staying here while we enjoyed Amsterdam. It was a bit of a shock for us kids from Hawaii.... but we loved it! We 'highly' recommend it to future guests. Vondelpark was nice, but unfortunately we ended up there in rainy weather. All in all an awsome trip, hope that we can come back some day. Dank u! (-:

  • Bill and Sue - Korenbloemen (12 May 2008) It was a great pleasure to meet you, Hugo, and to have the advantage of such a conveniently placed flat for our stay in Amsterdam. Best regards.

  • Natalie and Vic - Korenbloemen (04 May 2008) Our fourth time at your apartment and always a good experience. The location is fantastic especially for Queens Birthday, it's great to be able to slip back for a quick cup of coffee + a sit down. Thanks!

  • Fred and Jackie, N.C. USA - Korenbloemen (10 April 2008) Our 1st time to Europe has been such a learning experience. I had forgotten how vital a survival skill OBSERVATION is! Today we happened to see that the bell tower was open; with a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. That may have been the best € 12 we spent all week. For a sedate and graying couple we gave the city our best efforts and it gave us a dream vacation. Hugo, thanks for the perfect apartment and all your help. Please email us if you decide to sell!

  • Tania and Andrea - Korenbloemen (24 March 2008) Amsterdam was very cold, but very beautiful. The apartment is very comfortable and nice. Thank you, Hugo.

  • Atholl and Natalie - Korenbloemen (08 March 2008) Thanks for providing such a great apartment, we both thought it was fantastic and would prefer this over a hotel room any day!

  • Juliana & Joana - Korenbloemen (05 February 2008) It was a very nice stay here. Amsterdam is beautiful and friendly. The apartment was lovely. Thanks! Juliana & Joana, Lisbon

  • Paolo - Raamgracht 2 (19 January 2008) This is the second time I stay here, and I must say it's simply perfect. The apartment is very cozy, sporting a few antique brick walls and a classic wooden ceiling, contrasting its modern decoration and furnishing. It has everything you need to enjoy an Amsterdam getaway, it is located in a great position, barely two minutes from the Nieuwmarket square, which is brimming with life at all times. A wide variety of cafe's, coffeeshops, restaurants and the occasional non-pretentious boutique are all within easy reach. The Pathe' Tuschinski - the nicest cinema in the city - is also pretty close, and so is a great supermarket (Albert Heijn on the Jodenbreestraat). If you want to really feel at home in Amsterdam nothing beats cooking a nice Thai dinner (and the kitchen in this apartment has it all), opening a good bottle of Chianti, and enjoying a candle-lit meal in sweet company, while you watch the canal life unfold just outside the window, and you hear your favourite symphony in the background (this apartment has a stereo, as well as TV and DVD). A final thought: staying here costs about the same as staying at a three star class hotel, and if you factor in all the extras (like Internet access), it's actually even cheaper than staying at most three star places in the City. Yet the experience you get is sooo much better, it's laughable to even try and compare. I would recommend going with an apartment, and specifically going with _this_ apartment, to all my friends and family members. You can't go wrong here, really. I hope Amsterdam will give you as much as it has given me.

  • Rob & Em - Korenbloemen (03 January 2008) A great new year was had .The apartment was great as usual... loved the little Christmas tree. Hopefully we will be back soon.

  • Richard - Korenbloemen (09 December 2007) Just a note to say thank you. I enjoyed the Korenbloem very much; the bed is particularly comfortable on those long winter nights.

  • Kevin - Raamgracht 1 (05 December 2007) I stayed in the Raamgracht 1 apartment of Mr. Oele and I have to say that I have stayed in many different apartments in Amsterdam over the years, and this is without question at the top of the list. Particularly when all things are considered, including price amenities etc. I can't reccomend it highly enough, although at the same time, I fear it will be booked when I next go if too many people know how great it is.

  • Eric - Korenbloemen (17 November 2007) Great time in a great place. Can't wait to be back!

  • Ivanna + Priscilla - Korenbloemen (30 January 2006) It felt like "home away from home" but sadly my humble home is not as stunning, clean and comfortable as this flat. I've stayed in some top places, but this easily wins - will recommend to friends for the location and the quality as well as Hugo's welcoming and friendly attitude.
