“A peaceful retreat on the Prinzengracht.”
Great location, close enough to the tram to be accessible but far enough to not be noisy. David, the host was really nice and helpful. Well equipped for self-catering (but need some more mugs for tea-loving Brits). Plenty of complimentary tea and coffee.

“Exceeded our expectations in every way!”
Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations! The apartment was super stylish, brilliantly located, had the most lovely view to wake up to each morning and it was an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to get to and 2 mins from the tram stop when we needed it. Lovely local bars nearby. David couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming.

We had a lovely stay at this apartment. It was very clean, bright and comfortable with big spaces and felt relaxing from the moment we arrived. During the day the natural light made the whole place feel warm and welcoming. In the evening the view was even more special with the canal and the beautiful lights from the surrounding buildings. The location was ideal, great neighborhood close to everything with plenty of good places nearby for food, coffee and drinks and right next to the city center. David is a great guy. Very friendly and helpful, he answered all our questions, gave us useful tips and recommendations and was able to help for anything we asked. We have been to Amsterdam many times and this was our best stay so far.

“Ideal 3-Day Stay in Amsterdam — Highly Recommended!”
We stayed at Canal View Treatment in Amsterdam and it was truly the best choice for our three-day trip. The apartment is right by the canal and offers beautiful views that you can enjoy. It has all the amenities you need for a short stay — it was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and made us feel completely at home. The location is ideal: close to the city center so you can walk everywhere, yet on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. There are supermarkets and anything else you might need just around the corner. Finally, the owners and David were extremely kind and helpful, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Amsterdam!

“Great canal view stay”
The location was excellent. We could walk everywhere. Loved being on the canal to experience living in a traditional house. David the host was great and carried our luggage up the 2 flights of steep stairs. We definitely would have struggled but were aware of this beforehand.

“Spacious apartment in the best spot in Amsterdam!”
The location was impeccable, especially as we had a clear view of the Pride parade from our window! We were able to walk everywhere in the city centre. It was nice to have a home-like space in the city. David was an incredible host and he stayed in touch during our entire stay.

“We enjoyed our stay very much & would recommend.”
Lovely, nicely decorated, good quality apartment, light-filled & with view over canal on one side & gardens on the other. You can sit & relax at the window & watch the tour boats going by. Great location, handy for shops, food, tram. Professional host David is very friendly & helpful, proactive, carries your luggage up extremely steep staircase & keeps in touch to check how you're going, if you need anything. (The stairs are carpeted & have handrails so we didn't find them a problem.)
