Juste à l'extérieur d'Amsterdam et un parking gratuit!

We had an amazing stay in beautiful Monnickendam, in Monique's place. Had everything we needed and then some. Kids loved sleeping in the hidden bedroom. We'll return again someday!

Sehr gemütlich, schön und funktionell eingerichtete Wohung!! Übergabe der Wohnung auch sehr einfach und unkompliziert und nett:) Mitten in Monnickendamm, was ein sehr schöner Bilderbuchort ist! Und trotzdem ist man innerhal von 15 min mit dem Bus in Amsterdam:) Nur Oropax mitnehmen für den Glockenturm, welcher jede Stunde bimmelt;) Ich würde es aber dennoch wärmstens weiter empfehlen und komme bestimmt gerne noch einmal wieder!

der erste Eindruck war positiv, insgesamt jedoch ist die Wohnung recht klein, für ältere Menschen und Kinder aufgrund der engen Aufstiege in die Schlafräume nicht geeignet. Bei sommerlichen Temperaturen jenseits 25 Grad wird es deutlich warm unterm Dach und ist unklimatisiert anstrengend. Der größte Mangel jedoch ist aus unserer Sicht das 24 stündige , alle 15 minütige Glockenspiel des 50m entfernten Kirchturmes. 365 Tage pro Jahr. Dies ist nur schwer zu akzeptieren und stellt eine deutliche Lärmbelästigung dar.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in June. The apartment is right in the center of Monnickendam, tucked down an alleyway along a canal and right around the corner from several restaurants with outdoor seating. Two blocks away is a harbor packed full of beautiful boats, some of which can be hired for day sails.

The apartment met all of our needs. It was spotlessly clean, had a well equipped kitchen, and great water pressure in the shower. The bedroom requires a steep stair climb, but it really posed no problem. There is a free-standing soaking tub in the bedroom, which was a huge treat after being out all day. There is also a table and bench outside the door in a small private garden where we ate breakfast each morning.

The apartment is located a 3-minute walk from the bus station, where we took the 15-minute ride into Amsterdam - very convenient! There is a bike rental right around the corner, but hours are limited, so be sure to check ahead.

2 day trips that we would recommend:

1. Head to Giethoorn (1 hour away) and rent a whisper boat to drive along the canals and through the national park. It's a bit crowded, but a really lovely experience.

2. Rent bikes near Utrecht and ride through the small towns around the River Vecht. We rented from a wonderful couple at Fiets en Tandemverhuur Verhoef (Ockhuizerweg 1, 3455 RV Utrecht) and they helped us plot our trip. The ride is flat and easy and beautiful!

We completely recommend this apartment, and we would love to return one day!

The loft was very clean and well furnished - awesome tub! Private entry, free parking, fans! Host owns a bar directly in front of the property very welcoming and accommodating. Enjoyed visiting with the host.
