On the booking platforms this space cannot be called an apartment because the space does not include a kitchen. However, there is a coffee machine and a water kettle to make hot beverages. There is a small refrigerator for your convenience as well as cups, glasses, plates and cutlery. Sheets and towels are 60° Celsius cleaned. The surface area of the space is ± 50 m2. Trains, buses and metro are within 5 min. walking distance. My two cats 'Lucas' and 'Snout' do not enter the guest space on the first floor. This private room is cat-free. Guest access This private room is situated on the first floor at the front of the house and can be reached by entering the house through the main door, going up the stairs to the first floor. There is no elevator. The stairs are steep. See the photograph of the stairs in the picture-portfolio. Elderly people and people with limited ability need to be aware of this. If you want to travel with your child, I have one baby bed available or a small (!) child can sleep on the sofa. Please inform us in advance when you wish to bring an infant or small child with you so we can prepare the room accordingly. ➤ Please note that it is not allowed to arrange photoshoots at this accommodation. ➤ Please note that this historic house has limited sound isolation ➤ Please note that there are steep stairs at the accommodation ➤ Please note that smoking and vaping is not allowed, under no circumstances at all Other things to note In case of emergency you can quickly leave the room by opening the window next to the bed and decend onto the roof below. The key to this window is already in the lock attached to the window. You turn the key and the lock will open, you open the window and you descend onto the roof below. It is very easy. I live in the same building. My quarters are situated on the ground floor and in the basement of the house. During the day I occasionally will have a violin student come for a lesson, so you may hear some violins playing in the background. It is important for guests to realise that this private room is situated in a house in the very centre of Amsterdam in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old city, a house more than 400 years old. This means that the levels of sound isolation required for modern buildings cannot be met without eliminating the charm and character of a 17th. Century house. In other words: the sound-isolation in this house is not ideal. In the apartment above the guestroom the upstairs neighbours live. You may hear footsteps on the stairs and also footsteps coming form the apartment above. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Registration details 0363 3223 E976 5314 BBB1
