First Impressions
When I first stumbled upon Great Apartment Amsterdam on Jacob Van Lennepkade, I’ll be honest — the name didn’t exactly blow me away. But sometimes the best places have the most straightforward names, you know? This four-star spot sits right in the heart of Oud-West, and once you step inside, you realize they weren’t kidding about the “great” part.
The Oud-West Advantage
Here’s what I love about staying in this neighborhood — you’re literally surrounded by some of Amsterdam’s best-kept secrets. The Vondelpark is just a few minutes’ walk away, which means morning jogs or lazy afternoon picnics are totally doable. Plus, you’ve got the Foodhallen nearby (trust me, go hungry), and the whole area has this authentic Amsterdam vibe that the city center sometimes lacks because of all the tourists.
The Space Itself
The apartment setup here is what really sets this place apart from your typical hotel experience. Each unit feels like you’re staying at a friend’s place — if your friend happened to have impeccable taste in interior design. The kitchen is actually functional, not just some tiny corner with a mini-fridge, so you can grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and cook something decent. I mean, eating out every meal gets expensive fast in Amsterdam.
Comfort and Amenities
The room layouts are thoughtfully designed — none of that cramped European hotel nonsense where you can barely open your suitcase. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the Wi-Fi actually works properly throughout the space. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night, even though you’re on a pretty active street during the day.
Why Guests Love It
Look, with a 9.2 rating, this place is clearly doing something right. It’s that sweet spot between having your own space and getting solid service when you need it. The location gives you easy access to the canals and museums, but you’re staying somewhere that feels more like a neighborhood than a tourist trap. Plus, there’s decent parking options nearby if you’re driving — which, let’s face it, isn’t always a given in Amsterdam. It’s one of those places where you actually feel like you’re living in the city for a few days, not just passing through.
Apartments in Amsterdam suit families with canal-facing windows, full kitchens, and sunset bike rides through De Pijp.

What Our Guests Say
We loved staying here and look forward to going back! Excellent apartment with all the amenities you could need.
Clean, great space in a fantastic location
Trini was the perfect host, attentive but not intrusive.
What could be improved: The hotplate/hob is hidden in a drawer - a sign saying where it was would have been great ;)
Spacious, light, and comfortable apartment It was really nice having more room since I was there for a longer time. The place is next to a canal, a short walk from the bus stop. Everything is comfortable and clean. Trini was kind by letting me drop off my luggage earlier than the check in time and also worked with me and Booking to adjust my leave date and refund me for the night I didn’t stay.
What could be improved: The steep stairs, yet this is typical of Amsterdam and there is obviously nothing they can do about that. In fact, I was so very grateful that her husband carried my bag and backpack up and down the stairs.
Very good ! Very good location.
What could be improved: Little bit tough for stairs.
Shower was a bit weak.
Amsterdam Weekend location was amazing. host was super responsive. Great little apartment with good access to all major tourist attractions. would highly recommend.
What could be improved: nothing that can be fixed but the stairs were super steep up to the entryway. typical in amsterdam but mentioning it for anyone that has mobility issues. otherwise perfect.
Exceptional Trini is amazing we really enjoyed the apartment and location
Quiet and comfortable stay just outside city center. Nice, quiet location about 3-4 blocks from tram. Convenient to several cafes. Host does not speak English but communicates quickly via text. Plenty of space: large living room and bedroom. Good sized bath with small kitchen. Breakfast not included. Must climb two steep staircases. Would not recommend for disabled.
Great place for an extended stay The location was perfect. The neighborhood has great convenience stores, cafes and restaurants and is perfectly situated for multiple tram lines. It's also an easy walk to many of the main tourist sites. The apartment provided the perfect amount of space for a long weekend. The views over the canal from the living room windows let you know at every minute where you were and the bedroom in the rear room was quiet and comfortable. The bedding and bathroom were both very comfortable. The proprietor couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. It was a comfort to know that she was on site in case there was a problem.
This was a week we’d love to repeat again and again! We loved the location in a relatively quiet neighborhood (not overrun with tourists). It felt like we were living in Amsterdam for the week as we had a chance to experience the ordinary flow of life of the residents in the neighborhood
What could be improved: Only negative is that it it quite difficult to haul heavy suitcases up the narrow stairs. Going down was not so bad however.
Great apartment in Amsterdam The location was great, not too complicated to get to from both airport or city center. It has several buses and trams close by. Communication with owner was easy and fast, the apartment has all amenities necessary, room is quiet and comfortable.
What could be improved: Not fault of the owner because all apartments in Amsterdam are like this, but be aware that there are extremely steep stairs which make it difficult if you have heavy luggage like I did. If someone sleeps on the sofa, there is a bar a few meters away from the window which can be a bit loud; but it is only an issue in summer as with windows closed, you do not hear anything.
Great option for your Amsterdam stay Oud West is a lovely neighbourhood and the apartment is pretty well located with everything you need in the area - restaurants, transports and shops at your doorstep.
The actual apartment was a very decent size which was what we needed for a 4 night stay.
Heaps of towels provided, really comfortable bed and couch too. The bathroom was renovated and had really nice shower.
What could be improved: It’s mentioned, but the stairs are really not super accessible especially if you have mobility issues or large suitcases so be mindful of this.
It also got very hot at night and we’d have to have windows open on a few of the nights in order to sleep. Trini was away travelling but was very lovely and said she would have brought a fan if she was there.
The thermostat is in locked box which was a little off putting at first but I think this is because it might just be heater not cooling. The windows open did cool the place down though!
