Truly a wonderful haven in a convenient locale.
Very roomy, comfy, everything you need in the
kitchen, lots of linens, a wonderfully deep bath,
lovely canal view and ornate interior details.
Walking distance to lots of sights and trams to take
you all over the city. Thank you Marcelle and Ivan
for welcoming us so warmly, and helping us get our
bearings, your little visits, and helping us deal with
jet leg. We enjoyed our visit immensely.

What a wonderful place to stay! Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and central. Very convenient to the trams too. A short stroll takes you Leidesplein, a major square. From here you can trams #1, 2 or 5 to Dam Square, Central Station, or get off anywhere along Leidsestraat for a bit of shopping. Perhaps go the other way on #2 or #5 to Museumplein to check out the Van Gogh museum and more. Trendy Jordaan is a 15 minute walk away but, if you're feeling lazy, you can get on #7 or #10. We just armed ourselves with a tram'n'bus map and a couple of public transport(GVB)"go-anywhere" 4-day cards. We saw a lot!
Thankyou Marcelle and Ivan for welcoming us to Leidsegraght 96 and pointing us in the right direction. |

We are a family of three with a small child. We recently stayed here for two weeks and were very happy with this accommodation. This apartment is very comfortable and well laid out with beautiful canal views and easy access to various parts of Amsterdam. It is situated in an ideal location, very close to many attractions.
We have stayed in other VRBO's in Amsterdam, but what made this one a standout was the owner. She was very accommodating and she really thought of everything - from ample towels and linens, to laundry detergents, coffee filters and more (all well stocked). All the amenities were there to make our stay more pleasant, hassle free and enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival. She was very generous and thoughtful; she even provided us with cell phones to use during our stay.
The fact that the apartment is so moderately priced for what you get is something which really puts your mind at ease. The generous stocking of necessary items is another aspect that was greatly appreciated. However, in our opinion, this apartment is not only the best value for the money, but the best, most enjoyable place we have ever stayed in Amsterdam and we will definitely be back. |

| My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful ground floor apartment and our friend stayed upstairs in the studio. The location of this building is just perfect! Situated about a block and a half from the busy leidseplein, this apartment is very quiet considering it's just a short stroll to many major attractions. The first floor apartment is absolutely huge and beautifully appointed. The woodwork and moldings, etched glass and many unique features including a "stairway to no where" make this apartment a gorgeous and relaxing place to stay. The kitchen has high end appliances and everything you could possibly need to make wonderful meals. These apartments were clean, bright and well worth the money! Last but not least, you couldn't ask for a nicer land lady. Very accomodating, friendly, and helpful. We can't wait to return and make this "our home away from home!" |

| We have stayed in this apartment two years in a row and will always stay here when visiting Amsterdam. The apartment is comfortable, the area is perfect for transportation, restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing, and Mervrouw Beute is delightful. |

| we stayed at many different apartments while in Europe, and this was by far the best. Marcelle is a charming woman who i liked instantly. Her apartment was perfectly clean, quiet, and beautiful. it had more individuality than any other place. I felt instantly at home. It is complete with washer, dryer, bathroom(s), kitchen, spices!!, and an outdoor patio downstairs as well as up. Definitely a great choice. |

| Stayed in apartment for a month in 2008. Apartment is very nice and very large for Amsterdam. Wonderful kitchen. Lots of "bathrooms" 3- two toilets, one shower, one tub, sinks, no lack. Four girls stayed here. Only thing lacking is beds weren't very good. two fold up bed thingys and two singles, and the bedrooms weren't very separate. Very good though considering staying again. Hosts were great- the owner and the other tenant were very nice. |

Homeowner Response:
we rearranged the beds so far no complaints .there is a new small room added if there are more then 4 persons and the separation of the other two rooms has improved.one has double kingsize bed what can be separated into singles and the other room 2 singles what can be made into a 1.40cm double.
