    Fantastic location in the center of the city and yet still a quiet retreat. We had no need for public transportation--can walk to everything! Wonderful window to the canal, with dark curtains so that you can also sleep in. Well-stocked kitchen...

Property info

The canalview retreat is a 50m2 studio located on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam. The accommodation has a kingsize bed and a seperate seating area. There is a table for breakfast or lunch with an amazing view of the canal itself. The cupboards are stocked with everything you need to make a simple breakfast or lunch. There is a coffeemachine, waterkettle, toaster, oven, blender and glasses, plates and cutlery. To reach this wonderfull place you do need to navigate a typical Dutch steep staircase, so it’s not recommended for the elder or infirm. Keep in mind it is a non-smoking apartment and no parties allowed.
