amsterdam

With a fascinating history, a thriving cultural scene and a very laid back atmosphere, Amsterdam makes a great holiday destination any time of the year. And what better way to experience this city than living like a local in one of the many Amsterdam apartment rentals on offer?

Amsterdam’s origins started in the late 12th Century when residents living near the River Amstel decided to create of bridge to stop flooding which meant that City could begin trade with the rest of the world. The 17th century was regarded as a golden age when ships began to sail as far as Brazil and Africa. It is during the Dutch Golden Age that the famous painters Rembrandt and Johannes Vermeer infused new life into portraiture and genre paintings. When visiting Amsterdam do not leave without spending a few hours in the museum quarter where there are also many Amsterdam vacation apartments to choose from:

The museum quarter
Today Amsterdam is home to some of the most magnificent exhibitions world. The museum quarter is where you will find the Van Gogh museum which is home to over 200 original paintings. The Anne Frank museum offer visitors the chance to see for themselves where this world-famous young girl went into hiding during the second world war.

The museum quarter is an obvious place for you to choose your Amsterdam accommodation as there is much to culture and information to take in outside your door. You are literally surrounded by original paintings, great shops and top class restaurants. The things you will see and learn in the Museum quarter will stay with you for a lifetime.

Centre Dam
The Centre Dam area offers a wide array of Amsterdam apartment rentals giving you access to the wonders and delights of this enchanting City centre. By staying here you are very close to the Central train station as well as the Amsterdam RAI Conference Centre if you are here on business. Again, this is also an excellent location to hit the shopping malls. You’ll be pleased to hear that most shops in the centre are open until 9pm.

The Red lights district
No visit to Amsterdam would be complete without a visit to the red light district. Whilst it is not recommended for those who are offended easily, it offers such an insight into how liberal this City is! The canals that run through this district add to its charm and romance and for those wishing to experience and see a very grown up version of this city, what better place to rent an Amsterdam apartment than in the red light district. It is very central has excellent transport links and also has bars and café’s everywhere.

    Nieuwmarkt 2BR
    This Amsterdam apartment was more than we expected!!! Very clean, with really big bedrooms and bathroom, well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room and most of all in the best location for a visitor in Amsterdam. We really liked the fact that this Amsterdam accommodation was in the center of old town, but in a very quiet street. Price was very reasonable. Chris welcomed us in the best way, and was really helpful about everything. We had the best time ever and were very happy with the choise that we made.

    We had a brilliant time in the apartment and found it to be very comfortable and spacious. Tamar was excellent and let us check in much earlier than expected and there was no pressure to checkout at a particular time, which was a massive advantage to us. The apartment is quite a walk from dam square and was sometimes difficult to get a taxi to know where it was but we made use of the tram stop across the road mostly. The apartment was lovely and clean and tidy with plenty of room for all 6 of us, complimentary coffee was a god send!! had a fabulous time in the apartment and would not hesitate to book again on our return to Amsterdam. thank you very much for a pleasurable stay.
