Unique High End Canal House, Newly Renovated, Old Inner-City

This canal house on Prinsengracht (100 square meters, around 1000 square feet) has been completely renovated few years ago. We bought the apartment 15 years ago and over time, everything is renovated. Because our apartment is located on a corner, there are 7 large windows overlooking the canals, which makes the apartment unique!

The apartment consists of:

- Spacious bedroom including bathroom (with bath, shower and toilet)
- Bedroom with two single beds that can be placed next to each other including bathroom (with shower)
- Open kitchen
- Spacious living room includingThis canal house on Prinsengracht (100 square meters more than 1000 square meters) has been completely renovated. We bought the apartment six years ago and everything is new. Because our apartment is located on a corner, there are 7 large windows overlooking the canals, which makes the apartment unique!

The apartment consists of:

- Spacious bedroom including bathroom (with bath, shower and toilet)
- Bedroom with two single beds that can be placed next to each other including bathroom (with shower)
- Open kitchen
- Spacious living room including high def. TV
- Separate toilet
- Open hearth
- New beds and furniture
- Wireless unlimited internet
- New modern kitchen with everything you need including American fridge
- Wooden floors
- Double glazing (although you don't need yours as it's a quiet area)
- Washer dryer
- Towels, sheets, plates etc.
- Nespresso machine

Our apartment is located in the center of Amsterdam on the southern part of the canals near the 'Spiegelgracht' where all the galleries are.

It is 2 minutes from Leidseplein;
Leidseplein is very busy, both during the day and at night. When the sun shines, the terraces fill quickly. Street performers entertain the crowd, with acrobatic acts and music. At night the crowd changes: Amsterdammers go out here to celebrate, and to visit the theatres, cinemas and clubs. It is also possible to rent bicycles at Leidseplein, where you can store them in our bicycle shed.

On February 1, 1999, the Dutch government decided to qualify the inner city, the canals of Amsterdam, as a monument, a protected inner city view. The Canal Belt (ranging from the Singel to the Prinsengracht) is a historically important part of this region, and it is one of the most beautiful sights of the city.

The canal belt starts at Amstel and ends at Brouwersgracht. A third of the houses along the canals (grachtenhuizen) were built before 1850. During the 17th century the city expanded its borders, and canals were formed in a belt around the oldest part of Amsterdam to accommodate wealthy merchants and citizens. First the Singel was excavated, then the Herengracht, Keizersgracht and, last of all, Prinsengracht.

Fabulous visit

We loved this apartment. The owner and two adorable daughters greeted us at the property and made us feel quite at home. Such a beautiful view of the canals and perfect location, just a short walk to the Rijksmuseum. It was perfect. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Excellent rental in prime location!

This was a great apartment. It was clean and well maintained and the host was very nice, showing us around and helping us with luggage when we arrived. I have 0 complaints! Actually it was even better than the listing says because there is actually a metro stop just at the corner. So getting to/from the airport (via South Station) and getting to Central Station was even easier than expected.I would absolutely recommend this place. I don't know if it's mentioned in the listing, but FYI there are 2 flights of stairs to get to the apartment. They are not as narrow/steep as I was expecting, but it is Amsterdam--so plan accordingly. The steps were no trouble for us and our kids. Any rental you're considering be sure to ask what floor it's on and how many steps there are!

Beautiful Central Location

Our entire experience was exceptional. Communication with the owners from the first day our trip was booked up until the day we left was timely and informative. Location on the canal was perfect and the views were amazing. We can't say enough about how wonderful this space was and how it had such a positive effect on our family's trip to Amsterdam. Highly recommended. Thank you Cazjin.

Great location on one of the canals

We had a wonderful time in this lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. The best part was the location. We were only an 8 minute walk from the Reichs Museum and there were several restaurants and shops around us. We enjoyed watching the boats float by from our windows on the 3rd floor (they call it the 2nd floor). The stairs are a bit steep when bringing your luggage up but the unit is well worth the trouble. The beds were comfortable, linens excellent, kitchen brand new, and the Living room and dining room very comfortable. We hope to come back again and stay in this wonderful place.

A "must-rent" apartment in a centrally located area of Amsterdam

My husband, 19 year old son and I just came back from a glorious 10 days in this beautiful, clean and charming apartment. It is located on a beautiful canal and within walking distance to museums that we visited (Rijks and Van Gogh), the Anne Frank House, shopping districts and many delicious restaurants and bars. It is also located a block from a Metro station, which we used to travel to other museums and attractions. The apartment is a true two bedroom and two bathroom (with two showers) delight. The owners are very responsive and provided many videos to acquaint us with the location (as they were traveling when we arrived) and even mailed us the keys so as to not delay the arrival. The stairs are typical Dutch (steep, narrow and spiraled) but there are handrails on both sides. Tip-give the Buffet de Odette as the destination to the taxi driver rather than the address to the apartment. We will definitely rent this apartment again.

Beautiful place, great host and perfect location

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The apartment was beautiful with an amazing view of the canals. The location was perfect for spending time in the canal streets or going to the museums. Our host was fabulous. He met us and helped take the bags up stairs. Gave our baby a cute gift that she won’t put down. The whole experience made our trip effortless and super enjoyable.

Beautiful place with tons of light in great location

We loved staying in this apartment.... very uplifting in feeling because of all the huge windows with beautiful views of the canal. Also a perfect location for exploring both the inner canal rings and the Museum district and large city park. Our host was there to meet us and show us around the apartment, which was spacious and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Lovely property and fantastic location for access to all of Amsterdam inlcuding mass transit

Beautiful views of the canals. A very comfortable apartment close to everything in Amsterdam. We were there for business and it was one block away from the new Metro (subway) ands two stops from the RAI. Each bedroom had its own bath which is unusual and made things very easy for us. The hosts were charming and very nice. The apartment was well appointed with the basics needed for cooking, coffee and tea. We will be there again next year.

Overall excellent

The Canal House has an incomparable location: around the corner from museums and near the lovely park, yet away from the congested center city. And, the view of the canal and its never ending “theater” is very entertaining. The kitchen facilities are above average for those of us who like the fresh fish that you will find in the open air markets. Even those (like me) of “mature” age find Dutch stairs manageable.

Amazing light-filled corner apartment—beautiful views!

We arrived at the end of the year and stayed for New Year’s Eve. We were hoping for snow and skating, but got rain. But what a wonderful place to stay in such weather. I was quite happy to drink tea near the fire and watch the people watch out the huge windows that look out at the canal. The owner was there when we arrived to show us around—AND he took our suitcases up the stairs to the apartment, which was so nice. The high ceilings were great, there were hardwood floors throughout, and it was very stylishly decorated. Like it could be in a magazine. Full kitchen too, nice and cozy to stay in and cook instead of going out for every meal. It was very near the museums and also groceries and cute shops. For New Year’s Eve, we had an amazing view of fireworks that people in the neighborhood set off. A crazy amount of fireworks. Unforgettable. Highly recommend staying here:)

Little Gem on the Prinsengracht

I honestly can't say enough good things about this lovely apartment rental. Right from the start, Cazjin was warm, personable and helpful and carried our luggage up the two flights of steps for us. But the apartment itself is a little gem of beautiful location, views of the canal and the houses across the street from the corner windows, along with decorating touches found in fine boutique hotels. The layout was excellent for two adults but could have easily accommodated others. The apartment is centrally located and we walked everywhere. We enjoyed the apartment so much and as it was a time for us to rest up a bit before launching onto Africa, we spent many afternoons and evenings curled up with good books in the sitting room. We came away loving Amsterdam in the winter and this little gem of an apartment in particular.
