Lovely stay

We really loved our stay at Julien’s place. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful but just minutes from the excitement of De Pijp. Also easy to get around from here. Julien was super helpful with check-in and recommendations. Highly recommend!

A quiet respite in Amsterdam

What a wonderful place to stay while visiting my son and daughter-in-law in Amsterdam! Julian’s place is in the De Pujp neighborhood of Amsterdam. Quiet. Quaint. Just outside the noise of the city but within walking distance, a short bike or tram ride. Julien was the perfect host. He made many recommendations of things to do or places to eat. He was attentive and responsive to any needs I might have. I look forward to returning the next time I’m in Amsterdam.

Great Apartment and Area

The apartment exuded a welcoming atmosphere with its pristine cleanliness and attractive decor. Situated in close proximity to the 4 and 12 trams, it offered a plethora of dining, laundry, and bakery options within walking distance. Additionally, its convenient location made it easy for ride services to locate. Julien went above and beyond by providing excellent restaurant recommendations and assisting with luggage and any other needs I had during my stay.

10/10 - Exceptionally Clean & Great Location

I can’t recommend this VRBO enough - everything about our stay here was perfect. The apartment itself is exceptionally clean with new, comfortable furniture. There is plenty of space within the apartment and is great for remote working - fast WiFi and a spacious desk. The location is amazing with tons of bars, restaurants, tram stops, and stores within walking distance. It’s walkable to the main tourist locations in Amsterdam and felt like a really safe neighborhood. Julien the host went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. He checked in via text several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Great host and really made our trip incredible. Definitely would book again!

Tagging along with the KC Symphony

Let's just say that the host made my stay by far, the best experience with VRBO I've experienced. The property was clean, stocked and in a quiet central location. Julien however is who made the stay exceptional. he always replied and was super helpful. I am a retired French teacher and he made me feel super comfortable using either French or English. But the best part of his support was the "local tips" he provided. From the restaurants, pubs and sites to see, his connection gave me a real feel for Amsterdam. The best tip was recommending a personal friend to give me a canal tour. It was he, Adrian,and I plus the cheese, olives, beer and other hors d' oevures he brought. 3 hrs, + of his history and local knowledge of his native city. He was located within walking distance! I rate this stay as a hidden diamond in the city of Amsterdam!!

Perfect spot!

This was the perfect property for my sister and me. Our host Julien was amazing. He was friendly, helpful and attentive. He greeted us when we arrived, offered to carry our bags up the stairs and provided activity suggestions. He was also extremely accommodating with any needs or requests. The apartment was immaculate and well appointed. So nice to come home to after a long day! It is in a great area with so many things within walking distance. It was also nice to be in a quiet neighborhood and away from the crowds and noise. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Julien.

Quiet jewel in the city

This apartment is in the southern part of the city where it is a bit quieter than the city center area. We love to have that flexibility when we travel; close to the action, but not so close that you can hear it all night. The metro and tram stops are easy walking distance from the apartment. You can buy a 24-hr. day pass and use it on both the metro and tram. Walking, bike riding, and public transportation are the main ways that people get around this city. The multitudes of bike riders takes some getting used to, but also makes this place feel healthy and vibrant. When we arrived at the apartment, we encountered the stairs. We were warned by friends about the steep stairs in Amsterdam, but we didn't find these 3 flights particularly intimidating. Julien met us at the door, took both of our suitcases up the stairs and showed us around the apartment. He has so many thoughtful appointments in the apartment including suggestions for eating, drinking and activities. He also offered snacks, soft drinks, cold water and a bottle of wine.The apartment is CLEAN! That is a priority for us and we were impressed that was a checked box! The bed was quite comfortable at the end of our active days.Julien simply could not have been a better host. He lives in the building and is quite accessible. He tries to think of everything that a traveler needs and hits the mark 100%.We would not hesitate to stay at this apartment again when we revisit Amsterdam. Highly recommend!

Great Stay

Exactly as advertised, wonderful and helpful host, and in a fantastic location. Easy to navigate for both walking and catching an Uber. Some construction nearby but was not an issue for us. Very comfortable bed, king size was important to us. Steps weren’t an issue and host was gracious enough to carry our live up for us. Tons of walkable shops, restaurants, markets, and so much more. Highly recommend!

Beautiful quiet spot in a great neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Julien's unit; it was well appointed for our stay and we came to feel at home by the end of our near-week-long stay. It's in a super quiet, sleepy enclave on the south end of De Pijp, yet its only a five minute stroll to a dozen tasty local restaurants and cafes; plus 5 minutes from the 12 Maasstraat stop and maybe 10 minutes from the De Pijp metro stop. Julien left a nice little document of recommended local spots for breakfast, lunch, and dinner too (Pizza Project and Scandinavian Embassy were repeat-visit highlights). Julien was an awesome host; he was very communicative over WhatsApp (or VRBO messaging) and restocked our pillows and sheets (and left a bottle of wine!). The actual unit was even more spacious than it looked and had a great east-facing sunrise sky through all the windows (which have roller shades for dark sleeping conditions, so thankful for that!). Highly recommend a stay here if you're visiting Amsterdam and looking for a pleasant spot to live like a local for a few days!

Je recommande à 1000% !!

Je recommande à 1000%. Nous avons été accueillis comme des princes. L’appartement est un cocon douillet, très calme et décoré avec goût. La literie est très confortable. L'emplacement est idéal. Situé au bord de l'eau, il est proche de toutes les commodités, musées et parcs. On peut tout visiter à pieds ou à vélo (avec un loueur au pied de l’immeuble). Julien est très disponible et adore partager de bonnes adresses qui ne sont pas sur les guides :) Je recommande absolument ce logement. J'espère revenir vite :)
