Nieuwmarkt-Waag Apartment 3

Nieuwmarkt-Waag Apartment 3 is a stylish and contemporary 3-bedroom ground floor apartment for up to four guests in the heart of Amsterdam within walking distance of most of the main squares.

If you are visiting Amsterdam and want easy access to the centre of the city but you would like to stay in a quiet area, then this apartment is ideal for you. Stylishly decorated, the apartment is perfect for a group of friends or a family travelling together. The decor gives the apartment a warm, welcoming feel with beautiful parquet floors, contemporary artwork, a fresh colour scheme, quality furnishings and plenty of natural light. The living room is spacious and contains a sofa, two armchairs, a flat screen TV, a DVD player and a matching coffee table. The open kitchen is quite stunning, with an elevated cooking island in the centre of the room and comes complete with everything required to prepare a culinary delight, such as an oven, a grill, a hob and a microwave. Enjoy your meal at the elegant dining table.

The three bedrooms consist of two comfortable double beds and two single beds in total. All rooms are bright and airy with plenty of closet space. The bathroom is designed with a washbasin/mirror unit, a toilet, a bathtub and a powerful shower. There is also a separate toilet available. For your comfort there is a washing machine, an iron and board, a dryer, a dishwasher, a hairdryer, linen, towels and a hi-speed Internet connection. 

The apartment is located in the very heart of the city, close to all the popular attractions in Amsterdam. You will find the pretty Nieuwmarkt district, one of the oldest neighbourhoods, just minutes away to the north. The beautiful plaza surrounded by many restaurants, cafes and its castle-like De Waag building is home to regular markets selling everything from vintage clothing, second hand books, antiques and handicrafts to local farmers’ produce. Meanwhile the city’s Red Light District is just a few minutes’ walk away to the west. The Rembrandtplein can be reached in around six minutes walking south.

For a delicious frothy Amsterdam coffee, locally known as a Koffie Verkeerd, be sure to pop in at the nearby Cafe TisFris, popular with the visitors of the Waterlooplein flea market. Or go to De Sluyswacht. This is one of your local cafes, just a 5 minute walk away from the apartment. You certainly can’t miss it as it has to be possibly one of the most wonky buildings in the city. Indeed its charming lop-sided exterior seems to constantly attract the attention of passing photographers. Inside this authentic 17th century lock-keeper’s cottage it is snugly and warm in the winter months and they sell reasonably priced beers and coffee all year round. Sit out on the charming terrace in the warmer months as it overlooks the water and the beautiful Montelbaans Tower that Rembrandt once painted. The Rembrandt House Museum, where Rembrandt lived and worked, lies directly opposite Café de Sluyswacht.
