Canal house in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Hello Friends,
We are Stephan (55), Lishe (55), Lotta (22) and Sarah (19).
We live on the ground floor in an old canalhouse. It is on one of the famous canals in the heart of historic Amsterdam. Our guests like the beautiful view from our window onto the canal. Our canalhouse is very cosy with 3 bedrooms, bathroom, two toilets, and a well-equipped kitchen and small alley as our 'garden'. We have flowers around or house called 'a geveltuin'.
The neighbourhood is called 'de Lastage' and it is a very quiet part in the center of Amsterdam. Although you are within 5 minutes in the vibration of the Nieuwmarkt with it's artistic cafes and restaurants. Our house is at walking distance from Central Station and 20 minutes from the airport Schiphol by train.
On Saturdays on the Nieuwmarkt is the famous organic market, which offers fresh fish, vegetables, fruits and flowers, all organic.
From Central station you can take trams to all of the famous musea, like Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum, De Hermitage, Anne Frank huis, Jewish Museum, Rembrandthuis etc. Ofcause you can go there easily with bikes as well.
