This was our first trip to the City of Amsterdam. We consulted many resources but relied heavily on Rick Steves’ Amsterdam and the Netherlands Guidebook. We knew from our research that we wanted to stay in the Jordaan neighborhood. When we saw the pictures and description of Studios at the canal property, we booked it without hesitation, and we are so glad we did. The property is a quaint and thoroughly modern studio apartment up a narrow flight of stairs. It is fully equipped with a king bed, kitchen, coffee maker, small refrigerator, and a small, but more than effective, space heater (we were there in April and temperatures were chilly). The windows allowed for plenty of natural light, and the blinds were useful to block out the streetlights that made one feel quite secure. The bathroom was perfect – large with the most luxurious shower ever. Every space in the apartment was useable and functional. The location was perfect. The property is near Anne Franks’ House and an easy walk to Dam Square where one can pick up a tram to the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. There are many fun and entertaining places to eat near the property, including our favorite Greek Coffee Bar: “Kafenion Specialty Coffee Bar.”

The only thing that comes to mind that was somewhat difficult was the lack of drawer space to unpack one's luggage., but we delt fine without it.

The bed was very comfortable, the shower great, the location wonderful. Simply but nicely decorated; appreciated the teapot and kitchen supplies, place to eat, and the towel rack in the bathroom. The communication regarding access was very well done; good security system, felt very safe. Nice to arrive with some cold water already for us.

My husband and I are older and while pretty nimble found the staircase up to the apartment daunting. It's a good thing we were traveling light. Fortunately there were rails on both sides and we adapted to the climb. The advert on Booking.com should note this might be a problem for people who are mobility impaired. The room is small, very little space for luggage, no drawers; nightstands are small ledges. No microwave so fridge meant we could chill water etc. (very nice) but no way to really use leftovers. It was very warm out when we were there but the windows are big and we had a nice breeze at night so comfortable sleeping (although maybe a better way to prop them open would be useful).

Absolutely loved it. This isn't my first time in Amsterdam but it was my first time staying at Jordaan. This is an incredible quaint neighborhood and the street itself is so quiet and beautiful. The apartment is small, but very well decorated. Good shower. A small kitchen contained everything we really needed. Including refrigerator and a coffee machine (capsules included!). it is an amazing place and amazing location. And I would definitely return. Tessa was a great host as the communication with her was seemless and it felt she really wants you to enjoy your stay.

The apartment could use some storing room (a proper shelf or small closet to put the clothes in/on would be nice). Also, If you have trouble sleeping at night when everything is not quiet, keep in mind that the walls of this apartment are not exactly sound proof so you hear the outside quite well. Tessa provided us with earplugs, and it really did the job on my part.

Tessa's place is FANTASTIC! It's a perfect location. We were able to walk to it from the train station (about a mile). Overlooks one of the beautiful canals. Such a lovely, perfect spot for a short stay in Amsterdam. Thank you very much Tessa!!!

We arrived late in the evening so we had a little difficulty finding the entry door. The one marked 99 is actually on the corner not the side. We were able to contact Tessa and she helped us out immediately. As will most of the lovely old buildings in Amsterdam the stairs are quite steep...but this was expected.

Lovely studio apartment in an excellent location. It had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. A great base for exploring the city on foot, without being right in the busy centre.

A wee bit noisy at night when people were walking past but it wasn’t constant or very late and the host kindly provided ear plugs, which we didn’t need to use when the windows were closed.

Beautiful property in a stunning location.

The property has beautiful old windows but sadly they let in lots of noise. The host provided earplugs and they are needed. It was a very noisy spot. There are also extremely steep and narrows stairs to the rooms and would be almost impossible for someone with mobility issues to handle.

Great location, very comfortable bed and pillows, warm duvet, with a choice of thermostat control for the studio. Especially liked the choice of being able to make your own tea/coffee and snacks. Nice white clean decour, great bathroom with fabulous shower and under floor heating. Plenty of towels, just loved the white cream.

There wasent anything I didnt like.

The location is fantastic , very easy to get around town. The Jordaan is simply the best neighborhood in the city in my opinion.

The noise!!! We guessed we were in trouble when earplugs were left for us. There is consistent traffic and people yelling all night. It was very hard to sleep. Also, be prepared for steep, short stairs.

Tessa was easily contactable and very helpful and friendly when we had a problem with the temperature. The room was beautifully decorated and the bathroom was great, very good shower. The bed and pillow were extremely comfortable. The design of everything was lovely and modern and great idea to provide hooks and hangers on the wall for clothes and coats. There is quite a bit of street noise in the evenings and in the mornings, but that is mentioned on the website. The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance of everything.

The room was very hot on the first night and so it was difficult to sleep. However, we contacted Tessa the following morning and she immediately helped us to reduce the temperature. It was still warm the following night, but better. It was hard to keep the windows open because the cords had been cut so it was very hard to get air into the room. It is strange that the accommodation is called a bed and breakfast but no breakfast is offered. It is no problem to have a room without breakfast, but then it should not be called bed and breakfast. There is a coffee machine in the room but no milk or sugar is left for guests.

Loved this apartment, the location on the canal and the view from the room is brilliant. One of the best we have stayed in. We will be recommending this to others.

Stairs are quite steep and could be an issue for some people.
