What people like about my house is the fact that it feels like home. There is an easy going atmosphere and you feel welcome as soon as you arrive. The two guest rooms in the house can be rented separately or together. The fact that the house is not on walking distance to the city center is for some people a point to dislike the location although it's really easy to get into the city center and a short 20 minute bus ride will get you into the heart of the city. The free parking and free (help yourself) breakfast is something appreciated by many people. The Room Upstairs has a comfortable double bed and a surprise hidden bed in the closet for 1 small person or a child. There’s a washing table in the room and a large private terrace. This room is on the second floor of the house. The Room Downstairs is on the first floor of the house and has a double bed and a single bed. The room is just in front of the shared bathroom. In both rooms you can make tea or coffee. I have 1 cat and a small dog. People that love pets will be delighted but if you are not a pet friend you might want to choose another listing :-) My pets are very sweet and won't bother you. Hope to welcome you soon in my home.

Amsterdam North has an industrial feel and became one of the coolest neighbourhoods over the last years. More and more hotspots are popping up! Visit urban beaches like Café de Ceuvel and Pllek! Both perfect spots to relax and enjoy the warm weather on the waterfront. Other nice places overlooking the IJ-lake are film museum EYE (enjoy the sunset on their beautiful terrace!), seafood restaurant Stork and THT restaurant. One of our favourite areas in Amsterdam North is the NDSM Wharf. Known as one of the best festival locations of Amsterdam. North is also the place to be for vintage and thrift shopping. You can’t miss the monthly flea market in the IJ-hallen, a true second hand heaven. Discover these and more hotspots in Amsterdam North while staying at my B&B.
