Discover the perfect blend of urban living and green parks in this modern 2-bedroom apartment located in the vibrant Bos & Lommer district of Amsterdam.
Our 95 m2 apartment features a large light-filled living room with views of the canal and park below. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and plenty of utensils needed for cooking adventures. As it’s a new apartment building (built in 2008) it’s well insulated from sound and makes for a peaceful atmosphere.
The two comfortable bedrooms each have fully dedicated workspaces, equipped with a powerful mesh-routing system that ensures a high-speed Wi-Fi connection. Both bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and entrances onto the spacious private balcony overlooking the park. The large bedroom features a “king” size bed with a medium-firm mattress (and mattress heaters for those nippy nights)! The smaller bedroom features a “queen” size sofa bed that we’ve been told by guests is surprisingly comfortable. We have a modern washer and dryer in the kitchen pantry, and dishwashing machine in the kitchen.
The apartment is on the 4th floor and accessible by an elevator. We also have a designated parking space in the covered and gated parking garage located below the apartment building (also accessible by elevator).
Proximity to Center:
The apartment is located within the “center ring” of Amsterdam and is extremely well connected to the historical center of Amsterdam. There are multiple buses and trams that stop right outside the apartment building and will take you directly to the historical “canal belt” of Amsterdam within a 15 minute ride, or 10 minutes by bike. We also offer our two bikes on loan so you can discover the city like a local on two wheels!
Proximity to Parks:
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to multiple parks: Erasmuspark is across the street (2 minute walk), Bos en Lommer Plantsoen is directly behind the apartment building (<1 minute walk) and Rembrandtpark is a few blocks south (5 minute walk). All parks allow for dogs to be off-leash so we’re in an ideal location for easy dog walks.
The Neighborhood:
The neighborhoods of Bos en Lommer and Baarsjes (the apartment sits between both) are a mix of residential vibes and artisan cafes, bakeries and restaurants. It’s quiet at night and vibrant by day. The closest cafe is at the street corner (<3 minute walk), and that same street houses 4 grocery stores, multiple greengrocers, bakeries, weekly farmers markets, multiple home goods stores, post offices…essentially everything you need for your stay is within a 5 minute walk!
Our home is not just a place to sleep, but a chance to experience Amsterdam's unique blend of local residential life, park greenery and the best cafes / bakeries that Amsterdam has to offer. You'll be close to the city's heart, all the shopping and services you need, yet nestled in a verdant enclave that offers peace and relaxation. Your tranquil city haven awaits!
