Amsterdam Apartments Alexanders Location (Map)
Several locations in the old centre of Amsterdam are available: eastern, western and southern canal belt. All locations are at maximum 10 minutes from Central Station by public transport. The main sights are within walking distance and the museums and shops are very close by. In case you are visiting a conference or exhibition: the RAI center is near as well.
Amsterdam is a pleasant and compact city with beautiful architecture, romantic canals and a thousand bridges. The old city centre is one big monument. Lots of things to see and to do. The best way to discover the city is by bicycle or bicycle-taxi, by canal cruise, by museum boat or pedal boat, by horse drawn carriage, by public transport or on foot. Guided tours to heighten the pleasure and the experience are recommended.
The most likely location you will be put is Location 1: Gerard Doustraat/Ruijsdaelkade. (There is also a change you will be located in one of the other locations but this will be indicated on the e-mail that you will receive after booking):
The house at Gerard Doustraat was built in 1886, has a nice façade and has 5 levels with 8 rooms (surface 10 to 25m²/120 to 290 square feet). It is next to the "Boerenwetering", one of the canals leading to Rijksmuseum and the old centre. There is no elevator. The Gerard Doustraat and Ruijsdaelkade are low traffic streets and public transport stops are around the corner.
“Alexander's” location 1, Gerard Doustraat/ Ruijsdaelkade is situated in the old southern part of the centre of Amsterdam called “Oud-Zuid/de Pijp”, the vivid “Quartier Latin” of Amsterdam. The apartments are located very centrally between the old centre, the western, the eastern and new southern part of the city. De Pijp has a nice laid-back atmosphere. Here you can experience Dutch daily life with a multicultural accent. You are close to all kinds of shopping possibilities: like the most well-known daily market from Holland, the Albert Cuijp market two blocks away, the Hema department store and the more sophisticated shopping streets around Museum Square. Furthermore, there is a great variety of restaurants and pubs in the nearby vicinity.
The important sights of Amsterdam are located within a 5-minute walk: the Museum Square, the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Concert Hall, Heineken Brewery Museum and the old centre with it's characteristic canals only take a five minute walk from Alexander's. Relax in the Vondelpark, Sarphatipark , Beatrixpark or the green Museum Square. By bicycle you can make a trip along the river Amstel to the village of Ouderkerk in less than an hour or follow the dike north to the village of Durgerdam on the lake IJsselmeer. A visit to Zaanse Schans, the windmill area with clog maker, cheese farm and Zaans Museum is a another nice thing to do (north of Amsterdam: 45 minutes by public transport). Try the Amsterdam nightlife at Leidse Plein Square or Rembrandt Square.

It was nice to have a whole apartment and to have cooking equipment.
We were expecting two separate bedrooms when in fact the apartment was all open plan (with a door to pull across ot make it into two "rooms"). this wasn't ideal as we were travelling with our mother-in-law (and to get to the toilet one person had to walk past the other person in bed). we were also charged 4% extra for paying with a credit card, which we weren't expecting (but had to pay as we had no other form of payment). it was more basic than other apartments that we have stayed in before. 26 May 08

4e floor, could be very difficult for some people15 Jan 08
It was a great place for our group of friends to crash. it was a bit crowded for 6-7 people, but cozy and we all enjoyed our stay in the city. it was a great location for what we wanted to do--a quiet neighborhood right by the museum district. The incredibly steep stairs were a bit difficult, but added to the charm of the place. the shower was tiny and smelled nasty, but bearable. the directions to get there from the tram weren't great and we spent a while wandering around trying to find the place. 04 Jan 08

The guy was really friendly, i arrived two hours earlier than programmed, called the guy and in 15min he was at th apartment handing the key over and going thru everything with a smile.Yes, the building i did not like, it had no reference as to being alex's apartments, nor a doorbell anyone would answer, it is kinda beaten down, there's a tiny staircase as soon as you open the door were you can bearly drag your stuff up...and they chrged me more because i payed with a credit card, that was a surprise, i payed of course, didn't have no where to go...and they mademe sign a deposit voucher for 25 additional euros, wish i hope they will destroy.17 Sep 07
