Perfect spot for a quiet stay in Amsterdam
Our stay in this lovely apartment overlooking the Prinsengracht canal was part of what made our visit to Amsterdam so wonderful. The apartment is on a quiet street and just a short walk away from public transportation, so it was easy to reach the museums and neighborhoods we wanted to visit. There are many good restaurants close by as well as several markets for food shopping. Everything was as described in the listing -- the apartment is airy and comfortable. Cido was very responsive to our questions both before and during our stay. Great place to stay!

Excellent apartment and location. The property manager got confused about dates several times and also double-booked our first 2 days stay in Amsterdam. Thus we had to book a hotel for the first 2 days. Lastly, the manager got confused about emails from which she determined we wanted to check out 2 days early. We never understood why she concluded that and we had to assure her that our plans had not changed. It was odd to say the least.

Wonderful and idyllic!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The apartment is a gem, charming and bright, and the location is AMAZING. We sat in the living room and gaped at the beautiful view right over the canal. It was well stocked with kitchen basics had guidebooks and maps. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and even let us check in a bit early since the apartment was ready. If it hadn’t been ready, they had offered to let us store luggage in the luggage room downstairs. (This was a huge plus, because a big problem with staying at a home-away-from-home rental is that all flights from the US to Europe land in the morning and then you’re often stuck dragging heavy luggage and nowhere to go for hours.) I traveled with my husband and teen son and he slept on the sofa bed, which he said was quite comfortable. I would love to stay here again.

Beautiful house, in a perfect location
My family and I stayed at Cido’s apartment for a few days during a visit to Amsterdam. It was the perfect location. Close to shops and restaurant and just a few minutes from Anne Frank house. Cido was so helpful, always responsive. She was so kind to get us an extra air mattress, which allowed my teen sons to sleep in their own bed which they really appreciated! The apartment was very clean and comfortable. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I came to Amsterdam.

Cute, well-appointed flat in a terrific neighborhood
My wife, daughter, and I really enjoyed our stay here. The view of the canal outside our front window was stunning. We were close to lots of great places to walk, eat, and drink and the Jordaan neighborhood is stunning. Cido was very helpful in addressing all our needs and even arranged a taxi to the airport.

What an incredible 2 weeks! We stayed at this property the entire time. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood that is minutes away from Central Station, bike rentals, museums and so much more. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to relax and enjoy all Amsterdam has to offer. Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful in recommending places to go. 5 stars from the Robinson’s!

Wonderful place to stay
We had a great time during our stay here. The standout features of this incredible apartment are: 1) location right in the middle of the beautiful (and quiet) Jordaan neighborhood within walking distance of most everything, 2) great view onto the canal and street while relaxing and drinking coffee, 3) highest standards of cleanliness and also charm of the furnishings (bed was very comfortable and got a thumbs up from my picky spouse), and 4) last, but not least, was the kindness and helpfulness of Cido, the host. She helped us figure out transportation to/from airport, and her friendliness and flexibility enhanced our stay. Other reviewers have noted the stairs as a consideration if you have mobility issues, but we had no problem with them. We highly recommend this property and hope to repeat our visit again in the future. Thanks, Cido!!

All about the view
Charming, characteristic apartment with typically huge windows looking out over the townscape. What's particularly nice is that, instead of "just" looking at houses across the canal, you see the Westerstraat coming in at an angle across the canal and joining two streets - so you're treated to the bicycle show at all hours. Completely mesmerizing.
