Kids will love the full set-up here with plenty of toys and books available for children age 0 to 5 years old. There’s a spacious garden where you’ll find a swing, an in-ground trampoline, toy cars to drive and a fun hammock seat to swing in. The living room is 16 m from front to back so there’s space to play inside – parents can watch kids play in the garden while cooking. Nearby Vondelpark has bike and walking paths, ponds and cafes, as well as several impressive wooden play structures.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 3 nights. This home is baby and toddler proofed with stair gates, locks on all the doors and plug sockets. There is an open tread, spiral staircase from the kitchen where young children should take care. All baby / toddler equipment is included for your stay including a high chair, changing table, bed rails, children’s dinnerware and baby bath tub. Car hire is not necessary to stay here. The best way to get around Amsterdam is by bike – hire an electric cargo bike to pop the kids in.

The main living space is open plan with a kitchen with a breakfast bar, a dining area with a table seating up to 6, and a lounge area with sofas overlooking the garden. Upstairs, there is a master bedroom with a full / double bed and a child’s bedroom with 2 single / twin beds – 1 is a high sleeper suitable for children over 5 – and a toddler bed if required.

Style Notes
Laid-back city chic. This apartment has been fully renovated in 2019. The open concept living room has space to relax, cook and play. There are floor-to-ceiling windows, which means there’s an abundance of natural light and easy access to the garden. Décor is a mix of contemporary pieces and mid-century modern with a vintage 1960s sideboard in the lounge. Neutral grays, soft whites, fluffy cushions and soft rugs make this a welcoming and comfortable home. We love the family-friendly living space, the large pieces of contemporary art, and the fun and safe garden.
