  • Ngaine and Norman Douglas Australia (19 October 2011) Dear Bas We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. Great location well fitted out. Warm, cozy and quiet. It was very nice to come home after walking in the city all day. Your apartment has style.

  • Rob and Kelly (01 October 2011) Dear Bas We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your place. The location can not be beat! And you provided all the comforts of home. Amsterdam is a beautiful city and your apartment is a great place to stay and see it all. We hope to return someday soon

  • Lynn (20 September 2011) Great location that cannot be beaten! Everything was walkable. Great layout.
    Will recommend it to family and friends.

  • Uam Toronto Canada (16 September 2011) My friend and i stayed here for a week. It was great. Wonderful location. We loved the information in the city guide. Extremely helpful in finding a good restaurant.

  • Jacqui and Tony (20 August 2011) The first thing we noticed was the layout of the apartment.The space was well used and the decor/cupboards blending in such a way, that you barely noticed it giving the place a feel of space. The location is great close to everything.Thank you Bas for the great information in the city guide. The hospitality of Bas is great. We enjoyed our time so much here and certainly would recommend it to our friends and family. It is our hope to return again soon.

  • Asim and Samela - CT USA (08 April 2011) Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this wonderful city in a very special way! We were tempted to stay forever in your apartment. Hope to see you again!

  • Rima and James Boston - USA (17 January 2011) We loved the apartment. It had everything we needed and so much more nice than a hotel room (and cheaper). We did not realise how great the location was until we walked around and found out how close we were to everything. We will certainly recommend your apartment to our friends and family.

  • Bilun and Beril Istanbul Turkey (20 November 2010) Thank you Bas for everything. We had a great time in your apartment. There is everything we need, also the kitchen is well equipped. Location is great. The apartment is great. Staff is great. Best regards!

  • Don and Kerny Pasuli - Adelaide Australia (11 August 2010) Thank you for the use of the apartment, it was truly wonderful to experience *canal life* in Amsterdam so central and comfortable. Thank you for attending us so very helpful and nice. Hope we can come back sometime!

  • Shawn and Katrina (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 (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.

  • Constance and Melvin (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 (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!

  • Bila @ Zvi Artzi - Israel (21 June 2010) We enjoyed our stay at the apartment! The location is perfect(!!!) and the accommodation was very cozy. All what we needed was there, especially the WiFi possibility. The apartment looks exactly as it does in the photos on the website, and Bas was helping any time we needed something.

  • The Chuang Family (24 May 2010) We were amazed how central the apartment is! We appreciated the excellent personal guestbook. The apartment is well furnished with all the amenities.
    We found the apartment to our likings!

  • Sandra Scott (26 April 2010) Thank you for your kindness and service during the vulcanic eruptions! We were happy to stay here longer then expected! It gave us peace of mind and an oprtunity to explore more of your city. We loved the location. Thank you so much

  • Alan (11 October 2009) Thanks Bas for a wonderful stay, the apartment was fabulous! Hope to see you in April.

  • Rachelle and Pete - New York, NY (31 August 2009) Thanks, Bas, for everything. The apartment was the perfect place for us to stay; it was both central and peaceful, which is a hard thing to find! We loved everything about Amsterdam, and we are so glad that our "home" was as charming as the rest of the city. Thanks again!

  • Simon and Louis - Oxford England (11 August 2009) Thanks Bas for another relaxing stay! This is our preferred area and the apartment en its equipment have a very high standard of quality. I am sure we will be back again.

  • Simon and Maria (07 August 2009) We had a super time in this comfortable and convenient apartment. From here we could walk and cycle to all the major points of interest of Amsterdam.
    It was great. Many thanks

  • Suzan Schiff (10 April 2009) My days here were nice and cozy. This apartment is quiet, but still in the centre of all the magic of Amsterdam. I found it an excellent place to stay.

  • Jane and Kevin Rhodes (05 January 2009) This was my home away from home as always. We enjoyed it as we usually do here. We will be back soon!

  • Michael (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!

  • Judy Wolf and Marc Glassman (27 November 2008) We were the envy of our friends and colleages, who also could enjoy the convenience, charm and warmth of this apartment. We hope to be regular visitors.

  • Marty, Chriss and Richie (10 November 2008) This apartment provided for a great stay. We really enjoyed living here those 2 weeks. We hope to stay here again in the future.

  • Paolo (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.
