A Wonderful Place to Stay!
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in Paul and Karen’s canal suite for 4 nights in August 2023. It was the perfect place to call home while traveling! The suite was spacious and spotless with attention to any detail a visitor may need taken care of. Paul spent time with us at check-in to review all that the suite had to offer, local transportation, grocery shopping options, restaurants, attractions and more. The daily ‘treats’ were beyond delicious and so very much appreciated. We walked everywhere – center city began a mere 20-25 minute walk (through Vondelpark) away. Trams were readily available nearby and easy to navigate, but walking afforded us the opportunity to get a real feel for each neighborhood we wandered through. We loved coming back to a quiet neighborhood after a full day of touring. Restaurants are abundant both in the city and near the BnB, but we enjoyed relaxing in the suite’s solitude with take-out and a bottle of wine! A perfect end to a wonderful day. For everyone and anyone able to navigate an admittedly steep set of stairs up to the third floor, look no further - the canal suite is heaven. We were not able to take advantage of Paul’s boat ride through the canals because of rain. We look forward to booking that tour when we definitely return to our ‘home away from home’ at Paul and Karen’s one day.

Amazing Accommodation
I cannot rave enough about my stay at Bed and Breakfast Amsterdam. This room was amazing and delivered all that the description had of it. This was by far the most romantic room I have stayed in. Fine attention to thoughtful detail coupled with some little extras I did not expect was just the beginning. The hosts were available for any questions and offered up suggestions that I was greatly appreciative of. There is a book in the room that gives you a breakdown of all of the must see places while there that came in very handy. I felt I really was able to maximize my time there with the book helping me to be sure I hit the must see item! I am planning another trip to Amsterdam and will most certainly be staying at Bed and Breakfast Amsterdam again.

Highly Recommended!
The best and most comfortable stay of our trip. Professional, thoughtful, and welcoming. Paul was incredibly nice and informative.The breakfast and snacks were all delicious. The small details throughout this stay were much appreciated and made us feel like a priority. It is right next to Vondelpark, and a nice walk to the city center. Plenty of restaurants, quick service, laundry, and grocery nearby. Thanks so much Paul & Karen!

Best stay in Amsterdam
Our stay at Bed and Breakfast Amsterdam could not have been any better. We had the upstairs family flat for our group of 5 friends and it was perfect. We loved the canal view, neighborhood stores, bakeries, restaurants and location. We added the “fridge fill” so we were able to make our own breakfasts each morning. When we came home from a long day of touring, it was nice to find some yummy treats left for us. We also took advantage of the canal tour on the owner, Paul’s boat. The tour, info, and snacks and drinks on board made it a delightful experience. The only hesitation we had was the steep stairs up to our unit, but the owner carried our bags and none of our group-all 70 years old!- had any trouble with them.

Lovely stay! 10/10 recommend.
We absolutely loved our stay at Paul & Karen’s place. We were in the Garden Suite and it was lovely. I’m quite sure they thought of everything, including little touches like a pre-stamped postcard to send to loved ones at home, complimentary blackcurrant gin, little cupcakes in the kitchen in the afternoon, and anything else you could possibly need. They even gave us free passes to the Van Gogh museum, which allow entry even on sold-out days. The location is very nice; easily reachable by tram but in a quieter part of town. Only a 12 minute drive to the airport. Overall, 10/10 and would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect!
Absolute perfect with so many nice and cute little touches which are appreciated. From a few days before I called to check all is good and we can drop luggage off early ( and we could) to last minutes in person goodbye. Arrived in morning and Karen welcomes us when we dropped off luggage. Walking distance into centre, tram is also very easy. Lovely walk though the park. Nice to be near but could get away a bit in the evening. Nice to just walk around and relax. Loads of different restaurants around. Low to high prices. We stayed in one night and cooked. Supermarket about 200m away. Kitchen is simple but enough to make a simple meal. Also a HEMA shop a further 100m away in case you need any other daily essential. Nice little cakes in the afternoon to welcome us from a long day of walking. No complaints at all. Will definitely return and recommend.

Great canal view!
Paul and Karen are spectacular hosts...they left us with Dutch treats each day. The space, bedding and towels were very clean. The area was walkable and had everything you might want. This accommodation may be difficult for people with mobility issues due to upper staircase. There didn't seem to be an outlet in bathroom for hair dryers, etc. Overall, we very much enjoyed staying at B&B Amsterdam.

Amazing Hosts & Beautiful Views
Paul & Karen's place was an AMAZING place to stay in Amsterdam! It was right on the canal, and I loved feeling like I was living in a space that was true to the local style. The rooms were all clean & stocked with everything you could possibly need! We added on the breakfast fridge fill and a canal tour, and both were great choices. Paul & Karen went above and beyond - Paul accommodated the boat ride so that we could ALL attend (even though 2 of us had commitments that originally would have interfered), and Karen made such yummy snacks. They gave recommendations for anything & everything we could possibly need - we never felt lost whatsoever. Truly, this was one of the best (if not THE best) place I have ever stayed, and I would love to stay again one day!

If I could give six stars, I would
We have been staying at this bed and breakfast for at least 15 years. Due to frequent business trip and occasional personal trips to Amsterdam, it has been wonderful to find a "home away from home." The location is excellent with both easy access to parking (as I need a rental car for the visits), to key highways and streets, and to public transportation. The rooms are spotless, the breakfast alternatives work well for I often need to leave very early in the morning, and the hosts are very helpful without being obtrusive. On the same street and same side of the canal are good restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, etc. in a very safe neighborhood. Just a block from Vondelpark, it also is good for walking or bicycle rental nearby. It is a gem of a place to stay.

Horror
Cobraron un servicio, se pagó y lo negaron diciendo que no aceptan niños. En conclusión se quedaron con el dinero y no lo devuelven. Ladrones. Nos quedamos sin hotel y sin el dinero ya que no lo quieren devolver

We had a cosy nice stay on the last floor of this cute house by the canal. It's one bedroom plus two beds in the living area, with a very green balcony. Everything was very clean, with attention to the details that made it very pleasant. The location by Vondel park was perfect.

Paul&Karen zijn voor mij de ultieme gastvrouw en heer!
Ook als vrienden wordt je door hen helemaal in de watten gelegd en de vegetarische maaltijd had gastronomisch niveau.

Borran los comentarios porque son unos estafadores!!! Devuelvan el dinerooooo.
Por más que no hubiese reservado yo directamente , así estafaron a Daniela Pascali, donde no solo no le brindan el servicio sino que tampoco le devuelven el dinero.

☺Ich hatte das Vergnügen, in dieser wunderschönen Airbnb-Unterkunft zu übernachten und ich kann nur sagen, dass es ein absoluter Traum war. Von Anfang bis Ende war mein Aufenthalt einfach perfekt.
Die Gastgeber waren äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie sorgten dafür, dass ich mich wie zu Hause fühlte und waren sehr aufmerksam.
Die Wohnung selbst war einfach nur gemütlich. Sie war geschmackvoll eingerichtet und hatte alles, was ich brauchte, um mich wohl zu fühlen. Das Bett war bequem Die Küche war gut ausgestattet und ich konnte problemlos meine eigenen Mahlzeiten zubereiten. Das Wohnzimmer war einladend und der perfekte Ort, um nach einem langen Tag zu entspannen.
Die Lage der Unterkunft war einfach unschlagbar. Sie lag in einer ruhigen Gegend, aber dennoch in der Nähe vieler Restaurants, Geschäfte und öffentliche Verkehrsmittel.
Alles in allem war mein Aufenthalt in dieser Airbnb-Unterkunft einfach nur fantastisch. Die Gastgeber waren großartig, die Wohnung war gemütlich und die Lage war perfekt. Ich kann diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen und werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen, wenn ich das nächste Mal in der Stadt bin.

Fantástico apartamento y fantásticos anfitriones
☺El apartamento es muy amplio y corresponde a las imágenes que se ofrecían. La atención de Paul, el dueño, fue espectacular. Desde las indicaciones que nos dio al llegar hasta el desayuno que nos ofreció como un regalo para la primera mañana, pasando por el frigo con leche y cervezas y los pequeños dulces que aparecían en la cocina y sobre las camas cada día. En la cocina había hasta una botella de aceite de oliva virgen extra. Maravilloso. El apartamento está algo alejado del centro pero en una zona muy bonita, cerca de un gran parque y de la zona de los Museos. En la misma acera, a pocos minutos andando, teníamos un supermercado, varias tiendas, bares y restaurantes. También estaban próximas varias líneas de tranvía, especialmente la 2, que es la que cogimos más veces, y que te lleva al centro rápida y fácilmente. El apartamento tiene vistas a la calle y al canal, por un lado, y a un jardín interior lleno de plantas. Lastima que el tiempo no acompañara para salir a la terraza al terminar el día. Nunca me he sentido tan bien acogida y cuidada en una estancia, casi casi como si fuéramos de la familia.
☹El apartamento está en el último piso de una casa tradicional, con lo que la escalera, sobre todo el último tramo, era bastante difícil. Entendemos que formaba parte de su encanto, pero lo cierto es que subir o bajar cargado con maletas o bolsas era algo complicado. En la cocina, y dado que es un apartamento con todo lo necesario para cocinar, creo que vendría muy bien un lavavajillas. Así sería perfecto.

☺ Thanks to Paul and Karen we had a wonderful stay in Amsterdam. Communication and arrival was very convenient. We had a very warm welcome to the spacious, quiet and bright flat. The location is excellent, just a very short walk to Vondelpark and good Cafes and Restaurants right on the doorstep.

☺ Everything went so smoothly, Paul and Karen are great hosts! They helped us prepare the trip, and were super helpful during our stay as well. The breakfast was so good and they made sure all of it was vegan (as we asked). Insane 🙂

UNAS VACACIONES PERFECTAS
☺La casa es preciosa y la ubicación perfecta.
Paul es un encanto, nos recibió de maravilla. A Karen no tuvimos ocasión de conocerla.
Al hacer la reserva nos enviaron información detallada de la zona, restaurantes, tiendas, lugares de interés... Además al llegar Paul nos ofreció más detalles y entradas para el museo Van Gogh y su ayuda si en algún momento necesitábamos algo.
El último día nos guardaron el equipaje hasta nuestra salida hacia el aeropuerto para que pudiéramos aprovechar nuestras últimas horas en Ámsterdam.
El apartamento es muy luminoso y amplio, tiene aire acondicionado y una terraza muy agradable. Todos los días nos esperaban varios detalles: galletas y dulces caseros, aperitivos, vino...
Ámsterdam nos encantó. Si podemos volver, sin duda nos alojaríamos en casa de Paul y Karen.
No me importaría quedarme allí a vivir ????
☹Nada.

It was at the end of beautiful Vondel Park that is over a mile long & we walked it each day coming & going. The park was filled with runners, walkers, & of course bicyclists. If you want to be in the center of all attractions then this is not close for you. But we enjoyed the opportunity to walk through the park every day to the attractions. The property itself was super clean, had a wonderful breakfast each morning. Rooms or nicely decorated and very roomy.

Adorable B&B by Vondelpark
Paul and Karen's B&B was amazing! It was in a super cute area, close to Vondelpark, and a quick tram ride away from city center. Paul was very helpful when it came to navigating the city and gave us great recommendations during our stay. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast and blackcurrant gin that was provided! We will definitely stay again!

Gorgeous B&B (although apartment would be a better description) and lovely location just next to Vondelpark and overlooking the canal.
The stairs are quite steep so not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Very nicely decoratively and thoughtfully appointed apartment in a great location. There are restaurants and other amenities, including the fabulous Vondelpark, steps from the front door. The front door is across the street from a canal and is next to a busy restaurant, but the apartment is quiet and peaceful. Pleasant, helpful owners.
