City Attic - Your Artful Retreat in Haarlem's Heart

## Space

Elevating your experience, we're excited to introduce a touch of newness to our beloved B&B this Summer of 2023. Embracing change, we've reimagined our space, unveiling fresh elements. As a visual artist, I've embarked on this creative journey, enhancing our interiors with captivating artworks that rotate every six months. Immerse yourself in an ever-evolving gallery right within our walls.

Each brushstroke tells a story, and among these stories is my creation "Tulpomania," a series of mesmerizing wall murals paying homage to the popular Tulipomania of Haarlem. It's a local touch that infuses our space with cultural resonance. Our commitment to artistic expression has become a cherished part of our guests' return visits, adding a layer of delight to every stay.

City Attic isn't just a place to rest your head; it's an immersive art experience. Our guests have consistently expressed their appreciation for the curated ambiance that engages their senses and sparks inspiration. A testament to this art-infused atmosphere, I've personally created unique wall paintings, making every corner a canvas of creativity.

Step into our exquisite apartment, where modern comfort intertwines seamlessly with artistic expression. Situated at the heart of the city, City Attic offers more than accommodation; it offers an aesthetic journey. Explore two luxurious suites on separate levels (1st and 2nd floors), each exuding style and luxury.

The first floor welcomes you with a spacious living room, complemented by a sleek, modern kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, combi microwave/oven, Nespresso coffee machine, and kettle. The plush 180x200 double bed on this level ensures your utmost comfort.

Ascending to the second floor, you'll find two twin beds (2x 80x200) beneath expansive skylights that offer a remarkable view of the stars. Here, you'll also find a separate toilet, ensuring convenience and privacy.

Welcome to City Attic, where every moment transcends the ordinary. Experience the fusion of comfort, culture, and creativity, culminating in an unforgettable sojourn that reflects the vibrant spirit of Haarlem.

City Attic

The property is amazing and the location is steps from multiple restaurants and a grocery store. The host Paul was extremely accommodating even when we arrived much later than I indicated. He met us and then went over the specifics of the property. He gave explicit directions for parking in the parking garage which was such a relief after a long travel day. I highly recommend the City Attic and would love to stay there again.

Simply Wonderful!

We had a fantastic weekend in Haarlem, made even better by the location and convenience of the apartment! We loved being in the middle of everything, watching the hustle and bustle of the city from our windows. The apartment was clean, smelled great, and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay!

perfect place to stay in Netherlands

This was the perfect place to stay- the hosts were amazing and were excellent about communicating with us at all times. They even allowed us early check in that day which was an immense help to us and we were very grateful. He also drove us to the train station on the day we checked out. Haarlem is really quite central and although we ended up leaving to stay in Amsterdam it certainly would be reasonable to make Haarlem your base point as it is easy to get around the country from there. The area did have some mild noise at night since it was in the middle of the city but earplugs were provided and they helped! Also we loved the location as it was in the middle of all the shopping and restaurants so we were able to get everywhere very quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful spot in Harlem

We had a wonderful stay in Harlem at City Attic. It is a loft apartment that was in a perfect spot above a cafe. It is basically a two bedroom with stairs up to the second bedroom loft. There are tons of cafes around and is very close to the city square. Harlem is an adorable town with lots of energy and great restaurants, bakeries, a weekly market and shops. Plus it is very close to Amsterdam. Paul and his lovely wife, Priscilla, have made this apartment impeccable, cozy and lovingly decorated with her artwork. It had a very nice kitchen, air conditioning and comfortable beds. Also there is a bathroom up in the loft area which was super convenient. There is a small patio which was perfect for an evening with wine and a cheese board. In addition Paul was always available and is clearly wanting his guests to be completely happy. He did several wonderful things for us. One of our guests fell and hurt her leg and he offered to take us to the Dr. We didn't end up needing those services but I thought it was amazing that he offered his help. To me this was a great spot and a great host. My only suggestion is to add an upstairs shelf for guests to unpack their folded clothes. There is a nice size hanging rack which is nice. We would definitely stay here again!

Super schoon ruim en fijn appartement midden in het centrum

We hebben echt een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Mooi ruim appartement midden in het centrum van Haarlem. Hartelijk welkom geheten door Paul die alles over het appartement goed uitlegde en tips mee gaf voor ons verblijf in Haarlem. Appartement heeft 2 verdiepingen maar wij hadden genoeg aan 1 verdieping. Alles is heel schoon en ruim en dat midden in het centrum maar geen last van geluidsoverlast gehad. Een aanrader voor een paar dagen citytrip Haarlem. Gr Jeroen en Annemarie

Een echte aanrader!

We hebben drie heerlijke dagen in Haarlem gehad. We zijn erg leuk ontvangen en de eigenaar stond altijd voor ons klaar. We konden hem appen of bellen als we hem nodig hadden of vragen hadden. Het appartement is schoon maar ook heel gezellig en leuk ingericht. Tevens zit het midden in het centrum van Haarlem, vlakbij het station waardoor je zo op het strand bent. Dikke vette aanrader. Wij gaan zeker nog eens terug!

This was a fantastic stay! Apartment is quaint and clean. Location is wonderful. It's nice to stay outside of Amsterdam. Paul, the host, was very accommodating to us and his wife, Priscilla, is a fabulous artist. Her artwork is seen all through the apartment. Patio area is charming as well. This apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay in NL. We will share this property. Great experience!

Great surprise

A great apartment and nice hosts. Paul help us taking our big bags upstairs and he even gave us a ride to the trainstation. Harlem is a really charming little city and if you want to go to Amsterdam is only a 15 min ride with train. The apartment is cosy and beautiful, you just have to take in mind the stairs if you have someone old or with mobility problems in the group. Big bags are also a problem with the stairs. We will definitely come back somewhen in the future

Fabulous stay! Fabulous host!

Property was exactly as advertised. 4 of us stayed very comfortably and location was superb. Paul was a most gracious and hospitable host and made our stay all the better. Located above Paul’s tapas bar the apartment provides an excellent hub for visiting sites in Haarlem and is a quick 10 minute walk to main train station. Highly recommended

Fabulous stay! Fabulous host!

We stayed 4 nights at City Attic in Haarlem in mid September. My wife and stayed with my parents and there was lots of room for 4 people. Located right in middle of old Haarlem , above Paul’s tapas bar, which is fantastic for site seeing and walking to any other restaurants. Main train station is under a 10 minute walk. Paul is a natural amazing host and made our stay even better with his assistance, knowledge of the area and hospitality. We would definitely stay there again. thanks Paul!

Lovely central and spacious apartment that's ideal to explore Haarlem and the surrounding area. The apartment was well appointed, spotlessly clean and a warm welcome from Paul made the whole experience most satisfying. The Tapas restaurant downstairs is also well recommended.
