Private double room in a canal house dating from 1608 situated on Singel Canal in the oldest part of Amsterdam. Centrally located.
The space
This private room available for the exclusive use of the guests is just like an apartment without a kitchen; the room is situated on the first floor at the front of the house. This Airbnb-space includes a large bedroom with exposed oak beams and an authentic brick wall.
Bathroom:
Adjacent to the bedroom is your private bathroom (with shower, sink, mirror and toilet) for the guests only. Please note that there indeed is a shower in the bathroom, but no bath! In the room itself, there is a double bed consisting out of 2 latex mattresses each measuring 90 x 200 cm. Please note that the bed consists out of TWO single mattresses measuring 90 x 200 cm and not out of one double mattress measuring 180 x 200 cm.
Heating in the room: There are two large radiators in the room located beneath all of the windows and one can adjust the temperature in the room by turning the temperature-knobs on these radiators.
There is also a sitting area with a couch, 2 chairs, cable television, a DVD-player, internet using Wifi as well as internet by the use of a cable. There are lots of books, mostly in the English language on various topics and a computer-desk in the study corner with a chair; a 'laptop friendly workspace' in case you need to get some work done.
On the booking platforms this space cannot be called an apartment because the space does not include a kitchen. However, there is a coffee machine and a water kettle to make hot beverages. There is a small refrigerator for your convenience as well as cups, glasses, plates and cutlery.
Sheets and towels are 60° Celsius cleaned.
The surface area of the space is ± 50 m2.
Trains, buses and metro are within 5 min. walking distance.
My two cats 'Lucas' and 'Snout' do not enter the guest space on the first floor. This private room is cat-free.
Guest access
This private room is situated on the first floor at the front of the house and can be reached by entering the house through the main door, going up the stairs to the first floor. There is no elevator. The stairs are steep. See the photograph of the stairs in the picture-portfolio. Elderly people and people with limited ability need to be aware of this.
If you want to travel with your child, I have one baby bed available or a small (!) child can sleep on the sofa. Please inform us in advance when you wish to bring an infant or small child with you so we can prepare the room accordingly.
➤ Please note that it is not allowed to arrange photoshoots at this accommodation.
Guest interaction
Usually I am around, only on some days of the week I work outside of the house; usually on Tuesday-, ~Wednesday- and Friday-afternoon. Normally I am around and always reachable via telephone, sms, WhatsApp and e-mail. Please feel free at all times to knock on my door in case you need assistance. I live in the same building. My quarters are situated on the ground floor, which is the floor above your room and one room on the first floor of the house. Please note that music, noise and the like must be taken into account because of guests staying in the upstairs guest room.
During the day I occasionally will have a violin student come for a lesson, so you may hear some violins playing in the background.
The neighborhood
Amsterdam is one of the greatest small cities in the world. From the canals to world-famous museums and historical sights, it is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. Cruises on the canals are a popular way to see the city from a different and unique perspective
Welcome to the city of tolerance and diversity. It has all the advantages of a big capital: rich culture, thrilling nightlife, international restaurants, good transport - yet quiet in road traffic. In this city, your destination is never far away!
In my neighborhood, there are lots of things to see. I live in the oldest part of Amsterdam.

Getting around
At short walking distance from my house (5 min. walk) is the Centraal Station (central train station) where trains can get you to other cities in Holland and from where trams and buses and the metro can take you anywhere in the city.
As a capital city, it is very easy to reach from Schiphol Airport and to get around by public transport. Trains, buses and trams will get you to your destination in an efficient way. Even better for short distances and a local experience is of course by bicycle!
If you want to travel to other cities and places, normally public transport is also very convenient depending on the location of your plans of course. We will share a handy website with you to plan your route!
Other things to note
When you are here I will always explain to you the use of the emergency-exit; on the round bedside-table, there is a key to the window next to the bed. This is your most efficient emergency-exit. Put the key in the lock on the window, the lock will open, open the window and you climb/jump on the roof below. It is very easy.
I live in the same building. My quarters are situated on the ground floor and one room on the first floor on the rear side of the house.
During the day I occasionally will have a violin student come for a lesson, so you may hear some violins playing in the background.
It is important for guests to realize that this private room is situated in a house in the very centre of Amsterdam in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old city, a house more than 400 years old. This means that the levels of sound isolation required for modern buildings cannot be met without eliminating the charm and character of a 17th Century house. In other words: the sound-isolation in this house is not ideal.
On the floor above the guest room, live the upstairs neighbors. They are two professionals sharing an apartment. They try to be quiet because they are aware of the fact there is a guest-room below them.
