This was the exact perfect way to start our three week "Before Kids" trip. We desperately needed this time alone to relax and enjoy a beautiful city together. There are many things to see and experience, just within the city that we only experienced a little. We hope and plan on staying in this perfect apartment in the heart of the city so we can experience more! Hope to see you soon.

    No where else feels like 'home away from home' as much as does here, we love the freedom & respect that every part of this culture encourages. This was a perfect base to experience it all. Basjoes over the road and up to the left is firm favorite for a chilled way to end a day strolling back from the Museum Quarter.

  • Shawn and Katrina - Raamgracht 2 (11 July 2010) If you want to get a feel for what it would be like to really live in Amsterdam, we cannot recommend Amsterdam Canal Apartments highly enough. Our location at Raamgracht 23 was superb... very close to the metro, easy connections to trams, or anywhere else in Europe as Centraal Station is only a stop away. Rembrandt House is also very close as are the Dam, Rembrandtplein, and the Red Light District. There are numerous dining options in the immediate area as well as Albert Heign Grocery for a nice at home meal. Their washer/dryer is so convenient and the apartment is fully decked for entertaining. The Raamsgracht apartment #2 is located on a quiet, beautiful canal and feels immediately like your own home. Bas is there to answer any questions that you may have but is leaves you to enjoy Amsterdam as you see fit. We travel extensively and will definitely return to Amsterdam Canal Apartments the next time that we visit Holland.

  • William Oscar Henry - Washington USA - Raamgracht 2 (11 July 2010) We loved the apartment. It was perfect and close to all the things we wanted to see and visit. We definitely will recommend the apartment to our friends. The bed was so comfortable and easy to get into.

The accommodations are comfortable, clean and fairly quiet. There is a good air exchange system so that you can close the windows and significantly reduce street noise. The apartment allows you to enjoy Amsterdam as locals do and is modern and fully functional. I will definitely consider again for future visits.

  • Constance and Melvin - Raamgracht 2 (28 June 2010) Beautiful apartment, we had a great stay! Also we loved the perfectly equipped kitchen... Everything we needed! Thank you, best regards

  • Lynn Buck - Raamgracht 2 (25 June 2010) The apartment was indeed right for our needs. It was nice meeting you and thanks for your help with our printing problems! The apartment is in a wonderful location, we have been here many times, but Amsterdam never fails to pleasure!

There were a plethora of Amsterdam tourism books on the bookshelves in the apartment- so incredibly helpful! Hugo was very accommodating and helpful!

You were the perfect host Bas. Thanks again XxX

  • Alina & Andrei - Romania - Korenbloemen (24 May 2009) We stayed in Amsterdam in Korenbloemen apartment for 11 nights (13-24 May) and we really felt like home. The bed was very confortable, the living was just what we needed for the late evenings on tv, and the kitchen had everything we needed inside. The apartment is very well located, in the center of Amsterdam, around 15 minutes to Central station, 10 minutes to Dam Square, 5 minutes to Red District and just 3 minutes to the metro station for any other destination. Thank you Hugo for a very pleasant stay in Amsterdam!

  • Julie and Kailey Key - Toronto Canada - Raamgracht 1 (05 May 2009) The apartment was perfect for our stay. Everything was wonderful and it felt like home.

  • Gérard and Anne - Toulouse - Korenbloemen (16 April 2009) Don't change anything, Hugo! It is perfect: furniture, colors, wonderful location 'in the life' during the day and quiet by night. Hours of wondering along the canals... We will be back as soon as possible because we still have to find the answer to a very important question: are there more cats behind the windows than boats in the canals. Thank you for your kindness and these fine sunny days.

  • Tony and Carys - Wales - Korenbloemen (10 April 2009) Hello Hugo: Just a quick note to say thank you very much for a very enjoyable stay at your apartment.

  • Inca and Laura - Venezia Italy - Raamgracht 1 (11 March 2009) This is the perfect place in the heart of Amsterdam!

  • Michael - Raamgracht 2 (19 December 2008) It's easily the best accommodation I've ever stayed in. The location was great for exploring the main hot spots in the Centrum. Comfy bed, fast internet, smoker friendly it's everything you need. There's a tram about 5 minutes away on the other side of Performing Arts building so that made it easy to get around. Bas is great, he made sure I felt comfortable so many thanks to him. If you're thinking about staying here, don't think about do it before someone else beats you to it. I'll definitely be back!

We'll tell about your apartment to our friends. It was so sweet and charming coming back to your apartment after a day of hard work, sitting on our sofa, having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, a dish of spaghetti and crying to "Moulin Rouge." Warm and best wishes, and see you soon! Mario an Fulvio - Florence, Italy

We've had a fabulous honeymoon here on our 3rd visit to Amsterdam together. We loved the apartment (again) and we are sure to return again soon. Amsterdam is such a fun place to explore!! We rode the bike to Haarlem this time and even visited the mill of Sloten on our fascinating tour! Thanks for everything, Hugo!

  • Kai and Raquel - Korenbloemen (05 June 2008) Awesome apartment! Great location. We loved staying here while we enjoyed Amsterdam.

All in all an awsome trip, hope that we can come back some day. Dank u! (-:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Judith and Michiel Sydney Australia - Raamgracht 1 (14 January 2008) What a wonderful apartment, We loved our stay here. It is quit special to sit at your front window and watch the world cycle by! We will certainly be back again.

  • 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.
