General overview
Apartment in central Amsterdam in the ornamental neighbourhood De Baarsjes, typical for its expressionistic (Amsterdam School) architecture. This apartment is perfect if you want to be in the city but in a not too busy area. Even though we prefer not to have pets in our house, we love (and love to take care of) any pets living in your house!
The space
A new kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, induction cooking set, oven, microwave, coffee machine, milk foamer, tea kettle, fridge, freezer and extractor hood.
We renovated our bathroom in a way that our terrazzo floor really stands out. The bathroom is equipped with a comfortable shower, toilet and sink.
For the diehard espresso lover we have in the living room a Bezzera Strega espresso machine (you may use it *if* you know how to handle this little beast, otherwise use the 'easy' coffee machine in the kitchen). The living room is spacious and overlooks a cozy square with a cafe and terrace.
The bedroom is atmospheric and overlooks our garden. We are very happy to have welcomed our first frog! The garden is accessible via the kitchen and the bedroom.
High speed internet available throughout the apartment. We have a Sonos Wifi speaker system that makes it easy to stream music from your own device to our speakers (located in the living room and in the kitchen).
Guest access
Ground floor apartment without stairs.
Notes
We are a member of a community-supported agriculture initiative, so every Thursday a big bag of freshly and eco-friendly veggies are waiting for us to be picked up at a nearby location. During our absence and your stay in our apartment you are more then welcome to pick up the bag in our name and enjoy the typical, often forgotten, Dutch vegetables, free of charge. Please remind us if we forgot to mention it.

Getting around
Stops for public transport around the corner.
You may use our bicycles to tour around the city. Amsterdam, with its extended bicycle lane network in and around the city (and country) is a cyclist heaven. On top of that: the country here is flat. Novice or inexperienced cyclists may find the cycling attitude of fellow cyclists in Amsterdam a bit intimidating. Cars on the other hand are used to all kinds of cyclists, and will adjust their driving accordingly.
We are open to swap not only our house, but also - simultaneously - our car, with free parking facilities in Amsterdam De Baarsjes.

Sjoerd
We are Sjoerd and Andy, two quiet, self-employed and flexible people. We have been living in Amsterdam (neighbourhood 'De Baarsjes') for a long time. Recently we have renovated our home and made it completely to our liking. We also made our garden biodiverse and climate neutral. We love to share and discover new places, that's the reason we got involved in house swapping. We think it is fun and sustainable! In our apartment we do not welcome pets, but we absolutely adore to be pet sitters for any pet in your house!
