Perks for the Parents
This lovely Oud West residence is ideal for a family stay in the city, with a large garden and the Vondelpark a short walk away. It has a fully equipped open plan kitchen, so kids can play while you are cooking. The stylish bathroom has a tub and walk-in shower. Enjoy your cup of coffee or glass of wine on the wooden bench in front of the house in the sun. The garden has a table and benches to enjoy dinner outside and a lovely lounge set to relax in the summer. The garden room has a desk to work at and a comfy chair to read a book. There are plenty of kid-friendly restaurants, coffee places and bars in this neighborhood.
Why Kids Love it
There is a separate playroom filled with toys, dressing up clothes and books for kids under 10. Kids can play with Lego, start a shop or be a chef in their own kitchen. The kids rooms are bright and colourful. The garden has a swing, vegetable garden and plenty of outside toys. There are also plenty of wheeled toys, such as a bike, 3 wheeler, skateboard and mopeds. There is a big playground around the corner and the Vondelpark is a 5-minute walk away. For smaller children, there is a stroller, travel crib and 2 Stokke high chairs available.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. The apartment is laid out over 2 floors with a private entrance; there are neighbors in the upstairs apartment with their own entrance. There is a spiral staircase from the ground floor to the upper floor and a stair gate is available. Paid parking is possible nearby, but with reliable public transport options, car rental is not essential. The sofa bed in the playroom can sleep a further 2 guests. NOTE: The host has kittens that live at the property. Please contact the host directly for further details.
About the Location
In the lively Old West area of the city, much of Amsterdam is just a short (direct) tram ride or walk away. It is a little more urban and edgy than some of the south Amsterdam districts. The Vondelpark is 5 minutes’ walk away, the Museum Quarter is a 15-minute walk and there are shopping streets, cafés, restaurants, a market, a cinema and a library in the neighborhood. Schiphol airport is 13km away.
Accommodation Details
This 2-floor apartment has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The ground floor has a living room, open kitchen, semi-open play room and open study room. The first floor has 3 bedrooms and a large bathroom. The master bedroom has a double/fullsize bed. The second bedroom has a twin bed which can be turned into a double (1.60m) bed. The third room is reached through the master bedroom and has a loft bed (and if necessary a travel crib on request) in it. There is 1 bathroom with a bathtub, rain shower and toilet. The garden is large by Amsterdam standards and includes a swing, table and benches for dinner (seating 6) and an outdoor sofa for relaxing. There is a bench out in front of the house for morning sun and people watching.
Style Notes
Bright and modern, the residence dates from the early 1900s but has been completely modernized. Furnishings are modern mixed with vintage; the spacious, open stylish black kitchen is fully equipped and has a large family dinner table with 2 Stokke chairs for little ones. We love the lovely light garden room with an aqua-colored display cupboard with collectibles from many travels and an antique Louis Seize armchair to relax in.
