The 2-bedroom Visseringstaete Canal View apartment makes the perfect alternative to staying in city hotels and provides a truly luxurious retreat for up to 4 guests.

In the main living area you will find a large comfortable contemporary sofa, chairs and a flat screen TV, perfect for winding down after a long day out in the city.

Prepare some delicious home cooked meals in the excellent modern monochrome kitchen. Why not try your hand at some local cuisine or put together a fresh picnic to take out with you on your adventures around the city?

There are two private bedrooms in the apartment, each luxuriously decorated with a double bed in one room and two singles in the other. There’s lots of great storage furniture for your belongings as well as a private bathroom fitted with a sink, toilet, shower and bath.

Enjoy mealtimes outside on the stunning balcony in the warmer months. It’s the perfect place to escape to with a good book and glass of wine for a little private time. For a more social outside experience head up to the delightful communal roof terrace and meet the neighbours!

The Visseringstaete Canal View apartment can be found located to the west of the city centre. Getting to and from Central Station is a breeze since you can hop on a tram at nearby Jan Van Galenstraat, the journey taking around 12 minutes. Simply make your way south from the apartment along the Buysbrug Bridge to the south to reach the stop.

It’s also perfectly easy to make the journey to the centre on foot. You will pass through the delightful Jordaan district with its pretty parallel streets and fairytale architecture. This was once one of the most overcrowded and run down areas of the city but today it is one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in the country.

Alongside you will find the charming Westermarkt area which is home to the country’s most visited museum, the Anne Frank House Museum at 263 Prinsengracht Canal. This is the secret location of the tiny attic home of Anne Frank, her family, and friends during the Nazi occupation of World War II. A visit here is not only enlightening, educational and informative but also extremely moving. To many people who read the book as a child themselves it represents something of a personal pilgrimage. There is certainly something very uplifting about Anne’s eternally buoyant spirit expressed through the pages of her journal and she has much to teach us. Since more than a million visitors come here every year it is advisable to book ahead online to avoid having to join the long queues that occur daily.

Be sure to also explore the Canal Belt area of the city with its stunning great waterways, beautiful architecture, unexpected wildlife, pretty houseboats and surprisingly quiet ambience. Check out the nine little streets and bridges that link the major canals to each other which are known collectively as the Nine Streets. Despite the rather uninspiring name, they are actually jam packed with a wealth of interesting and fun curiosity shops, art galleries, boutiques, antique stores, retro clothing and gift stores. You are sure to source some truly original souvenirs here.
