The apartment was well equipped and very nicely decorated. Right on the canal with a lovely view. Nice outdoor area, although it was a little cool and rainy for us to enjoy. We found the location very good -- the tram stop was not even five minutes away and the tram, which runs frequently, took us right to the Central Station. It was a real bonus to have a parking spot at the house. Amenities are within walking distance and we loved the farmer's market Saturday morning. Dianne was warm, friendly and very helpful

There is no separate common area, like a living room. The dining area is in the main bedroom. But for a 3 day visit, this was not a significant drawback.

The hosts were extremely inviting and upon arrival, took us on a quick tour of the local area and canal in their boat. They made sure that we were set and gave us privacy for most of our trip. The neighborhood is very safe, even late at night and feels suburban, while the tram is very close and runs every five minutes or so to Centraal Station. I liked that the bedroom window is literally inches from the canal, giving you the feeling of being right on the water. The value was good since we needed to sleep three people and hotels in the city generally only accommodate two.

I spent many hours choosing a place to stay for our winter visit to see if the University of Amsterdam is a good match for my son. We couldn’t have had a better home away from home for our eight day stay! De Groene’s hosts went way beyond the ordinary to make us feel welcomed and comfortable, giving helpful advice and recommendations. The view from the main room’s windows is absolutely delightful, with swans and ducks sailing up from bed-view regularly. And we were very glad to stay in Ijburg, where we could get a feel for how regular folks live here, with fantastic food shopping just minutes away, a variety of restaurants and the tram to city center very accessible. We also very much enjoyed renting and riding bikes to a number of our destinations through beautiful Diemerpark a few steps away. This area is like a beautiful nature preserve connecting Ijburg to the edge of the city. Overall we give De Groene Tunnel the highest possible review~a real gem!

We had an excellent stay and particularly enjoyed the ease with which we could get into the centre. The location was architecturally very interesting and well worth exploring. Dianne was really welcoming and friendly and we appreciated her recommendations for local restaurants. Overall, the accommodation was ideal for us and we'd love to go back!

We can’t recommend this fantastic apartment highly enough. Clean, comfortable, stylishly furnished. Situated in a relatively new suburb of Amsterdam, with excellent access to the city via tram to Central Station and only a short walk to a supermarket and some local restaurants. We even managed a bracing morning swim from the jetty! Dianne and her husband were exceptional hosts. We were warmly welcomed on our arrival and they were on hand to recommend restaurants and assist with travel plans. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful staying at De Groene Tunnel. Starting from the very cool location, both in terms of its closeness to the tram stop 2-minutes’ walk (+ 15 minutes to the Central station) and the district with very nice views, surroundings and good infrastructure. Supermarkets, restaurants and the farmer green market on Sunday are all placed within walking distance. The window of the main bedroom is looking at the water canal, where you’ll meet the swans, ducks and other interesting and friendly neighbors there is a nice terrace in front of the house and very comfortable floating terrace beside. Everything was prepared for us perfectly. Dianne and Roel were very great and helpful, explaining us all the details, providing us with the maps and advice where it’s worth going. On request they supported us with the restaurant booking, which ensured a free Prosecco for De Groene Tunnel guests))) We’d definitely recommend to come to this hotel and experience the same great time as we did.

We had a wonderful stay at The Green Tunnel. Dianne and Roel were great hosts and we felt really wellcomed. The location is perfect, the tram station is just a few minutes walk away and it takes less than 15 min to the Central station. And after the busy city center, the peacefullness of the appartment, the canal and it's surroundings felt so calming. Highly recomended.

There is a lot to like about staying at De Groene Tunnel, it worked well for us. Just about everything is 10 out of 10.

The kitchenette. Not everyone likes to eat out 3 times a day. We had no intention of kooking a big meal but a bit more thought and care can make a big difference. It really felt like the kitchen was thrown together, whereas a lot of thought and care went into the rest of the apartment.

We had the green and the air of the nature, the peace and silence of the neighborhood, the comfort of the apartment, the proximity of the tram, the restaurants, the supermarket and the hospitality, kindness, and availability of the host family. Diane, Roel, Merijn and all the family, muchas gracias.

Raul and Diane are fantastic hosts. The best!!!! They care of us well. The place is lovely. They even have surprises for us.
