Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our neighbourhood is in a prosperous area which has some interesting architecture and has a canal close by. The neighbours are quiet and friendly and everyone speaks excellent English. The apartment overlooks the main business district of Amsterdam so has skyscraper views. Our apartment overlooks a street which comprises a cycle track and footpath. A car is not a good idea in Amsterdam and everyone cycles in such a small city (3 cycles are available). Public transport links are excellent. Station Zuid for train, metro, bus and tram is 8 mins walk away. Also from this station about 6-8 trains an hour connect directly to Schiphol airport (6-8 mins). Tram 5 to the city centre is frequent and the stop is about 7 mins walk away. About the same distance away are some excellent food shops and Tram 24 to Centraal Station. The major museums are about 10 mins away on Tram 5. All of the facilities of Amsterdam are easily accessible.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

There is a lovely canal basin with grassy banks about 150 yards away where you can picnic and watch the boats go by when it is sunny. There is a really good cafe about 30 yards away which is open seven days a week. Our local shopping street has most facilities including excellent supermarkets, including an organic one and individual shops including takeaways. People from all over Amsterdam come to shop here. There are also two very good restaurants on this street. We are surrounded by interesting architecture, some of it ultra modern and some dating back to the Amsterdam School of the 1920 and 30's. Our local park, Beatrixpark, is lovely and it's a 10 minute cycle ride to Vondelpark, the main city park. A main cycle path passes by the apartment. Heron are regular visitors to the grassy area outside the apartment block. Because communications to the old heart of Amsterdam are so good it is easy to access the attractions of the city. It's a really lovely area to be.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

The apartment is non smoking and it is unsuitable for children because of the large opening window and also because the block overwhelmingly consists of adults. As would be expected we would like the apartment left in a clean and tidy condition. The cost of car parking is prohibitive and we do not have a car here. There is no need as public transport is excellent and three cycles are available. There is only one plant to water.

Conditions

  • No Children Please
  • Pets Not Allowed
