YAYS Concierged Boutique Apartments: Oostenburgergracht 103

Occupying a monumental building in the tranquil Eastern Islands, this stylish studio apartment makes a superb base for exploring Amsterdam’s endless delights.

Overlooking a typically scenic canal, the dwelling offers a pleasant, calming setting unspoilt by the tourist crowds, ideal for visitors seeking a more authentic Dutch adventure. The studio is expertly designed to maximise the available space and tastefully presented to create a fresh and modern environment for relaxation.

The cosy living area allows you to unwind after the day’s activities on the comfortable sofa, with a flatscreen TV on hand for a relaxing evening at home. Take advantage of the wonderful local Dapper Market and prepare a range of delicious dishes at the sleek kitchen unit, which can be enjoyed together at the elegant dining table.

Providing a refreshing alternative to the touristic core, this Amsterdam accommodation inhabits a typical neighbourhood brimming with local charm. Reclaimed from the IJ River in the 17^th century, the Eastern Islands owe much of their heritage to the Netherlands’ shipbuilding past, with several existing monuments affording a glimpse into this thriving industrial age. Visitors interested in learning about the district’s vast history should spend an afternoon at the impressive National Maritime Museum, which is accessible on foot in less than ten minutes.

The surrounding vicinity supplies plenty of amenities to keep you satisfied, ranging from the atmospheric Dappermarkt to a great collection of cafes and restaurants. For a tasty meal just metres from your doorstep, pop into Siam Thais Eetcafe or for a romantic culinary experience, head further east to the intimate Gare de L’est. A host of bars are also readily available, with nearby recommended options including the alternative Roest, which boasts its very own beach, and the delightful Brouwerij ’t IJ, a haven for beer lovers.
