The neighborhood was away from the central area so it was quieter and had access to everything needed. The best part was the gracious kindness and assistance from the hosts when we had lost a wallet and needed to put a hold on credit and bank cards. Hans went above and beyond to help in every possible way. He was also very responsive to assisting with technically challenging appliances and in helping us navigate the transportation. I highly recommend this property and its hosts.

Nice Stay in quiet neighborhood
We liked the apartment that was situated in a nice quiet neighborhood, but found it a little far and complicated to get into the city. It also would have been nice if soap/shampoo were provided. Also, the bedrooms were really hot and fans should have been provided as well.

Nice Flat
The flat is in an apartment block facing a busy road in the south of the city. It is conveniently located with easy access to all attractions. It has all the basic essentials you would need for a comfortable stay but there is noise from neighbours and constant traffic. The owners live in another flat in the same house; they are very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam. The owner, Hans, met us at the apartment and provided us with detailed information on the apartment, the local area and also provided a detailed map and instruction on how to travel to popular tourist spots. The apartment is a short walk to the nearest Metro station and Tram stop and is a convenient place to stay for the city centre. Travel by Public transport is made easier as Hans provides pre-paid OV Chip Cards (similar to London Oyster Cards) for travel by Metro, Tram and Bus. At the end of your stay simply calculate how much you have spent and give Hans the money. The apartment is well-equipped with everything needed for a short stay including kitchen appliances, oven, washer, shower room, satellite TV etc. An excellent apartment and would be happy to stay again on our next visit to Amsterdam.

Hans apartment was absolutely perfect for myself and friends. Located in a residential area, everything was at our finger tips. Grocery, post office, banks and parks. Hans is very prompt in communication, making sure your vacation enjoyable. Public transportation are only steps away.

Great base for two week vacation, best customer service.
We are a family of three and spent two weeks at Hans’ Amsterdam apartment. The communication was excellent and he was incredibly detailed oriented. Hans met us immediately when we were dropped off by taxi and showed us around and gave us the most in-depth recommendations and instructions that we have ever had in the 15 years we have been doing VRBO. He also had fresh flowers in the living area, apple pie in the kitchen, and delivered strawberries mid stay with new linens. It was a very nice touch. One of the nicest things was that he had three transportation cards waiting for us with money already loaded on them. We just had to leave them at the end of our stay with a similar amount left on them. Pay it forward, so to speak. These cards were so convenient for the trams, metro, and trains. The stops/stations were a 10 - 15 minute walk along the river and took you to the center of Amsterdam or anywhere you needed to go. The apartment worked well for us but it may not be good for those who have mobility issues. It has one typical steep Dutch staircase to enter. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe with a drugstore, restaurants, and grocery nearby. Thank you, Hans, for making our vacation to Amsterdam and the Netherlands easy and stress-free!

Great Host - Beautiful Location
My sister, brother in law and I completed a biking tour around Amsterdam for a week. After completing the tour, we stayed at Hans’ very comfortable apartment. It is located in a beautiful area away from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam and overlooks a peaceful beautiful park. It’s a lovely 10 minute walk to the metro. Hans met us at check in and gave us a thorough overview of the area, complete with annotated maps and lists of places we might want to check out. He also provided us with transportation cards that we simply reimbursed him for what we used. That was really nice; we didn’t have to figure out how/where to buy cards and how much we would need during our stay. We had dinner at one of the restaurants Hans recommended along the river. Peaceful setting, delicious meal and very accommodating wait staff. It was in an old house that had been part of the gas or power company. Lovely! The apartment is cozy and was perfect for our party of 3. It was really nice to have the kitchen so we could eat some meals at the apartment (mostly breakfast, but also evening dinner and snacks). We also enjoyed being able to wash a few garments after being on the bikes for a week! Thank you Hans for a wonderful stay!!

Wonderful apartment and host
I stayed here for a long weekend with a friend to celebrate a significant birthday, As a base to visit the cultural sights of Amsterdam, and be away from the hustle and bustle this apartment cannot be faulted. Right from the very first enquiry Hans was an excellent host. Emails were answered promptly, additional advice given and precise instructions to find the property. A welcome of a traditional cake was welcomed, as was the wealth of helpful information and assistance with travel and sightseeing. It was an added bonus to be able to leave our luggage on the last day, until we needed to leave for our evening flight. In a lovely area, with great eating places and supermarkets to stock up. The apartment is very well furnished and extremely comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and hope to return again at some point.

Laurel C., New York City area

Excellent Host and Nice Location
Hans was an excellent, helpful host during our stay over New Years Eve. He provided lots of information about things to do and places to go around the apartment and throughout Amsterdam. The apartment is roomy and well equipped. While we were there it was quite chilly so the gas heater in the living room was very cosy and warm. The main bedroom has a very comfortable bed and I assume the other bed is nice as well since my son did not complain. The stairs up to the apartment are somewhat steep so if that is an issue for you, take note. The use of the bicycles that came with the apartment was great - everyone rides everywhere in Amsterdam even in bad weather! The apartment is not located in the main touristy area of Amsterdam but is along the Amstel so you have access to parks and central Amsterdam pretty easily. It also makes the ride to/from the airport a breeze. We used Uber and it only cost 20 Euros or so each way - a bargain for 3 people! Thanks for a great stay!

Thanks Laurel, for you most kind review. It makes me feel good that you and your two children did enjoy you stay. Because that's also one of my goals with renting out my apartment. Have a nice spring in a few months! hans

Splendid little apartment in a pleasant residential neighbourhood. Slightly off the centre but with relatively easy links to all the main sights of the city and good local shopping facilities. It is clean, well-equipped and extremely comfortable, though the shower room/toilet and the kitchen are both rather cramped in size and there is a steep staircase to the first floor entrance. This might be difficult to negotiate for anyone with a mobility problem. The owner is very personable, helpful and easy to deal with. Thoroughly recommendable.

Very nice
We enjoyed our stay here very much, Hans was welcoming and extremely helpful. We had a couple of glitches which were not his fault, and he was informative and apologetic. The kitchen is small but well equipped, and it's great to have a washing machine as we are long term travelers. The beds are comfortable, and although the second room is small, it's fine for a couple. The apartment is also very cosy :-) Public transport links are also good and easy, and the bicycles are great to have. We would book again for a future visit.

Kleiner Wehrmutstropfen
Das einzige was ein Stern Abzug gibt ist dass im Inserat mit Fahrräder geworben wird. Diese sind lt. Vermieter nicht mehr vorhanden. Wir haben diese Wohnung wegen der Fahrräder gemietet.

Richtig, die Fahrräder waren kaputt und nicht verfügbar. Andererseits habe ich ihr angeboten, die Parkkosten für das Auto, mit dem sie kam, auf meine Aufenthaltserlaubnis zu setzen, wodurch sie 65 % der Parkkosten eingespart hat!

Super Appartement in guter Lage!
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Appartement, es ist alles was man braucht vorhanden, & die Lage ist auch top! In wenigen Gehminuten ist man bei Geschäften des täglichen Bedarfs, Restaurants & der Straßenbahn. Auch Bus & Metro stehen als Alternativen fußläufig zur Verfügung. Dank den Fahrrädern, die im Angebot enthalten sind, kann man aber auch einfach losradeln & ist schnell überall :) Kann das Appartement samt seines Vermieters absolut weiterempfehlen & werde es bestimmt selbst auch wieder buchen.

Zu laut, zu kleines Bad, zu teuer
Das Objekt liegt im 1. Stock n der Nähe einer vielbefahrenenen Strasse. Es ist aufgrund des Verkehrs zu laut, zumindest bei offenem Fenster. Bei geschlossenem Fenster ist es im Sommer zu warm. Das Bad ist zu klein und entspricht nicht dem gewohnten Standard, wenn WC, Wachbecken und Dusche in Armlänge voneinander entfernt liegen, ohne Fenster. Beim Duschen stösst man praktisch am Waschbecken an. Dafür ist die Wohnung zu teuer.

Jörg's stay was in the midst of the long August 2020 heatwave when temperatures were 37-39 degrees. These days were neither pleasant in the city and neither comfortable in the apartment.

Belle appartement
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cet appartement qui est bien agencé, très propre et bien équipé. Si vous arrivé en voiture, la A2 vous emmène quasiment à l’appartement. Vous trouverez un parking en bas de l’immeuble. Ensuite vous avez le tram à 15min à pied qui vous emmène au centre ville. Hans et un hôte agréable, qui vous donne plein de conseils pour votre visite d’Amsterdam.

Haben uns wohlgefühlt
Nette, Ikea typisch eingerichtete Wohnung mit zu weicher Matraze im Einzelzimmer und zu fluffigem Sofa. Kleines Manko auch das Bad für 3 Personen, die großen Zimmerpflanzen nehmen auch zuviel Platz weg. Insgesamt jedoch sehr nett, Vermieter Hans haben wir bei Ankunft getroffen, er hat uns begrüßt und uns über Wissenswertes informiert + ÖPNV Guthaben-Karten ausgeliehen. Anleitungen für Waschmaschine und Herd sind auch vorhanden, es empfiehlt sich auch diese bei Bedarf durch zulesen. Relative ruhige Wohnlage, ÖPNV ca. gute 10 -15 Minuten entfernt (Tram 4 und Zug/Metro Station Amstel).

Das Apartment ist sehr nett und funktional eingerichtet. Bei Anreise überreichte uns der Vermieter ausführliche Reisetips für Amsterdam, Tickets für den öffentlichen Nahverkehr wurden ebenfalls zur Verfügung gestellt. Parkplatz ist direkt vor der Tür vorhanden. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das Zentrum von Amsterdam ist gut zu Fuß zu erreichen, bei Bedarf auch schneller mit der Tram. Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in Amsterdam liegt hinter uns!

Schöne Wohnung am Rande der City
Die Wohnung ist für Ihre 55 qm sehr gut aufgeteilt. Sie liegt am Rande der City, ruhig, aber trotzdem nah zur Tram und Metro. Es lässt sich aber auch alles gut zu Fuß erreichen. Sie ist schön hell und der Gasofen im Wohnzimmer war bei den kalten Temperaturen sehr willkommen, wenn wir abends nach Hause kamen. Herr Kok hat uns sehr nett empfangen und alles perfekt vorbereitet. Einen Stadtplan, individuell uns darauf Tipps eingezeichnet, Tickets für die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel lagen bereit und Blumen standen auch schon auf dem Wohnzimmertisch. Es lief ganz unkompliziert und von Anfang an, auch die Emails, war alles sehr freundlich und Herr Kok hilfsbereit. Auch die Wegbeschreibung zum park&ride war sehr gut! ( In Amsterdam muss man die Autos außerhalb parken.) Vor dem Haus waren gut Parkplätze zum ausladen zu finden. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet, sogar eine Nespressomaschine war vorhanden. Sehr zur Freude unserer Tochter, es gibt sogar deutsches Fernsehprogramm. Supermärkte sind in etwa 5min zu erreichen, auch Cafés und Restaurants ebenso. Bei unserem nächsten Amsterdambesuch, er wird mit Sicherheit nicht mehr lange dauern, gerne wieder!
