Amsterdam Style Apartment

derry.birkett — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:52:10 +0000

Take a look at our latest short stay Amsterdam rental apartment, Multatuli, named after Holland’s famous author. This recently renovated apartment (2007) is located in a typical 18th century building, in Amsterdam’s hip Jordaan district.

Multatuli

Full of history, the house was built around 1790 and is a national monument. In the 1820s it was home to the young Multatuli, Holland’s most famous author. You can visit the museum dedicated to him a few streets away in the house of his birth and the large statue of him on the Torensluis Bridge on the Singel canal.

Totally renovated in 2007, the house has retained its historical details, yet offers every modern comfort and convenience. Spacious (140m2) and stylishly furnished, it offers 3 good-sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the sought-after neighbourhood of the northern Jordaan and Haarlemmerstraat. It features beamed ceilings throughout, wooden stairs and the traditional Dutch steeply slanted roof in the attic bedroom. Read more…

The Beletage of Amsterdam

derry.birkett — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:12:26 +0000

Amsterdam still shows the architectural grandeur of the Dutch Golden Age in the XVII century, when the flourishing of trade, arts and sciences remodeled the urban planning, new canals that were being dug to expand the city and the richest merchants, and generally the patricians, had their beautiful canal houses built alongside the canals as a display of their social status. On the keisersgracht’s canal (literally Canal of the Lords) some of the most representative canal houses of the time can still be admired in all their splendour.

Their ornamented stone façades are very impressive; however the most prominent features of a canal house front are its entrance, the piano nobile and the distinctive decorative elements like the gables. A few steps above street level, with pillars on each side, opens an imposing door. The main parlour faces the canal side offering great canal views from its impressive, large windows.

The Keisersgracht Bel-etage apartment is a beautiful example of the splendour of the time.

Cute House Boats in Amsterdam

Looking for something different in Amsterdam? Want to rent a cute house boat instead of a hotel? Take a look at our latest addition in Amsterdam, the Jordaan Houseboat.

The Jordaan Houseboat offers all the comfort you would need for your stay and it really looks like a normal house: living room with open kitchen, dining room, double and single bedrooms, bathroom and balcony. Everything in this accommodation is very well looked after, clean and cozy.

Because it is not really built on a boat, but on a floating concrete block, it doesn’t swing much with the waves of the passing boats. In the winter, the central heating will keep you warm, because you can set the temperature you want.

Amsterdam Historical building Het Lam

derry.birkett — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:19:31 +0000

ShortStayApartment.com’s listing in Amsterdam continues to grow with a new stylish canal house in the historical centre of the Dutch capital.

The characteristic Het Lam Apartment is part of a historical building dating back to the XVII century. The building has been recently restored maintaing its orignial features and adapting its interiors to create desinger apartments.

The Het Lam Apartment, Amsterdam

This short stay apartment is situated in one of the best areas of Amsterdam like the Art Galleries Quarter, Leidseplein, Vondelpark and The Museum Square, where you will find the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.

A historical insight:

The original name of this building was kept and you can still see it painted on the façade: “Het Lam”, which means “The Lamb”. On that time the buildings were not numbered, but they were instead named after the trading material they stored in each warehouse – in this case, probably wool.
