Amstel Nest is a newly furnished guest room for those who are looking for a quality accommodation.
We are located in a quiet side street of Amstel Riverside Boulevard where you can take a stroll, taste the genuine Dutch domestic culture without the hasty tourists' traffic. Our place is in an increasingly popular residential area with relaxing atmosphere, though one can also find a handful charming-, stylish- local cafés and restaurants just around the corner.
There are few special features of Amstel Nest:
1. Newly designed interior with a private shower.
2. A direct access to your room after entering the house, providing more privacy & independency.
3. Toilet is located in the hallway which is private for the guests during the nighttime, only during the day it's shared. From the guest room, you can access directly to the toilet without passing our living space.
4. A "feeding tray" (which is a common feature in traditional Dutch houses) is designed to serve breakfast without disturbing you.
5. Decorated with specially selected Dutch handmade / design items. You can enjoy them but also purchase them as souvenirs which are limited edition & 100% handmade!
6. Free Wifi
7. Microwave oven
8. Fridge
9. 2 Free Bicycles for your use (We do ask a 50,- euro deposit)
10. A great garden for summertime use
11. Breakfast is served (5 euro's extra p.p.)
12. A clean and healthy non-smoking environment.
We are a family of two kids and two creative entrepreneurs (designers & architects) who designed, installed and crafted this room out of our own hands. We love to share information about cool café, design stores & events, and hopefully Amstel Nest will be your gateway to Amsterdam - with a feeling of urban retreat!
**about accessibility**
From our place, you can easily take a stroll (20-25 minutes) or bike (8-10 minutes) along the Amstel river to the waterlooplein & center area.
Our place is also easily accessible with public and private transport. Metro station Wibaustraat is around the corner (5-6 minutes walk) which is the 4th stop from the Central Station. Another tram station (#3) is in close proximity to our house and connect to interesting districts such as De Pijp, Museum quarter and Jordan. Two motorway exits S112 (Gooiseweg) & S116 (IJtunnel) connect you easily to our street (via Wibaustraat).
Logement très facile d'accès à quelques mètres de l'amstel . Prêt des vélos non négligeable , et avec lesquels les sites ( centrum , canaux , musées , parcs , marchés ...) ne sont qu'à quelques minutes .Chambre avec sdb récente et très propre . Le propriétaire fait beaucoup d'effort pour parler français ce qui est très pratique notamment en début de séjour . Bref très bon séjour .
The Amstel Nest is a beautifully designed space providing an uber convenient and comfortable base to explore Amsterdam. There are a handful of cafes and restaurants just around the corner and using the bikes provided, a 10minute cycle along the Amstel takes you right into the heart of the city. Hosts Rob and Fang are a warm and ever helpful couple. I had organised this trip as a birthday surprise for my partner and they had even gone so far as to decorate the room with balloons and bunting on arrival. This along with their interactions and recommendations made for a truely unique and personal stay. We have nothing but glowing praise for the Amstel Nest and have already recommended it to everyone we know. We will definitely be returning. Best Wishes to Rob, Fang and your beautiful family.
The place is lovely in itself (very nice design, well located, comfortable). The hosts have been very kind and available if you ask them, but we have to precise that you don't get to see them very much nor share daily life moments (they have family reasons for that though) - so it's more like a very nice hotel room at someone's place than a room "chez l'habitant". We enjoyed Amsterdam a lot, thank you our hosts! Pier and Celine
Host response Dear Pier and Celine, Thanks for letting us know that you missed the chance to chat and meet our family. It is difficult for us, as hosts, to know if our guests prefer more privacy or more interactions (meaning more noises since we have two little ones)...but we are glad to hear that you had a good time in Amsterdam! All the best, Amstel Nest
