The property was beautiful and unique. Our Host Art was wonderful and attentive. The room exceeded all of our expectations and the location could not have been better. Close to shops, restaurants and grocery stores and far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Absolutely loved our stay!

Lori Canada

Wonderful apartment, right by the canal. Very tasteful interior design and practical layout and furnishings. We loved everything about it, especially that there were foldable chairs and a foldable table, for sitting outside and enjoying the view and the lovely atmosphere. Our host was very generous and helpful. One of the best placed we've ever booked during our trips. :)

Cristina Romania

Christian Austria

Audrey United States of America

It was a good location near to the city centre, but very quiet due to being underground. However it was very spacious with high ceilings and did not feel at all cramped.

Angela United Kingdom

Excellent location right on the old canal in Utrecht. Just a few steps away from all the shopping and restaurants. Amazing views right out front of the canal boats cruising by. Kayak rentals very close by. Bike sharing options right there as well. Makes for a historic stay in a unique location with modern and clean amenities. Perfect visit!

Olaf United States of America

The accommodation was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is in an excellent location with easy access to the city and the main door opens up right on the side of the canal. It was clean and had everything we needed for our 4 day trip.

Callum United Kingdom
