Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Fantastic central location, lots of restaurants and cafes nearby but very quiet all the same. Easy 15 min walk to the station, or a cheap taxi ride if you prefer. Very comfortable, very big apt with lovely views over the canal. No cooking facilities, but there is a coffee maker and a microwave, and a fridge. Hosts were super welcoming and helpful. If I were to come back to Utrecht I would look no further.
AustraliaThe location near the centre of old Utrecht and its proximity to the Dom square and university presentation halls was ideal to our needs. Our hosts provided provided booklets for guidance to tourist attractions and were genial in proffering further advice, including location of best venues for breakfast (not provided as agreed part of the rental). Quite charming to observe the general practice of cycling as the preferred means of transport and now will be tempted to rent bikes on next visit!
United KingdomA incredibly stunning and spacious apartment within a 4 story canal side period property in one of the most exquisite locations in the old city. Period features and works of art are abound here and Ernst and Joyce were absolutely lovely.
United KingdomWe never had such a beautiful experience - such a lovely appartement in the historic "Museumskvartier" - we will be back soon! If you want to see more details - the pictures are 100% real and not photoshopped - and the whole atmosphere created by Joyce and Ernst cannot be described by a picture!
GermanyBeautiful historical house, amazing atmosphere, very friendly owners! Location is great, couldn't be better, just right in the Center, close to all historical places, plenty of restaurant and cafes around, but the place is very quite! Apartment is very convenient! Really recommend to stay in this apartment!
DenmarkSehr schönes, liebevoll gestaltetes Appartement in einem wunderschönen Haus an einer Gracht. Sehr zentral und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Wunderschön die Sitzgelegenheit direkt am Wasser. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber.
GermanyDie freundliche und herzliche Art der Gastgeber. Wer einen besonderen Einblick in die Altstadthäuser erhalten möchte, ist hier an der richtigen Adresse. Der Gastgeber führt einen durch seine Räumlichkeiten und man kann auch einen wunderschön angelegten Garten bestaunen. Wer allerdings Schwierigkeiten mit den Treppen haben sollte, diese sind recht Kurz von der Trittform und auch die Treppe ist sehr steil. Aber dafür ist die Urlaubswohnung ein Ort der Gemütlichkeit. Da der Gastgeber kein Frühstück anbietet, sind dafür in einer Mappe, Hinweise gegeben, wo man sehr gut Frühstücken kann. Das WLAN funktioniert hier bestens und ohne Schwierigkeiten. Ein Parkplatz ist vorhanden und muss im Vorfeld mit dem Gastgeber per Mail, gebucht werden. Die Lage der Ferienwohnung ist sehr Zentrumsnah und man ist schnell an vielen Punkten, der Stadt. Die Wiederholungsgefahr um diese Wohnung nochmalig zu buchen, ist hier sehr groß!

This comfortable, clean and spacious apartment is located at the Nieuwegracht, the most picturesque canal in the heart of Utrecht and within walking distance of all the sights. It is the upper part of our characteristic monumental house dating from 1475 and it has a great view over the canal from the living room with three windows at the front. You can use the peaceful terrace next to the canal. You will love this special medieval place, so typical of Utrecht! The apartment is bright and spacious (80 m2 / 900 sq. ft.). It has a beautiful living room, two bedrooms and a big bathroom. It has original medieval roof beams, a TV, a desks, breakfast table, tea and coffee making facilities, a microwave and a refrigerator. There is no kitchen. Our historic house is located in a stunning location, right by the canal, in the centre of Utrecht, but nevertheless very quiet. The monument has various historical features, such as the impressive 18th century main entrance, the very special painted botanic patio, the medieval wharf cellar with entrance to your terrace on the canal and a big garden at the back side.
We are quite flexible and want to make sure you make the best of your visit. Please contact us with any wish you may have. If you are a family, we can also accommodate an extra child (extra baby 10, extra child 25 euro). During your stay we can be reached by phone, email and in person for questions you may have. We are easy to reach because we live downstairs. We will meet you in person during check-in. During your stay there are no other guests in the house. We live there but 'social distancing' is no problem because the house is very large. - Your apartment has a Nespresso coffee machine, an electric kettle, a refrigerator and a microwave. Coffee, tea and some breakfast items included. - There is no kitchen and we don't serve breakfast but there is a good restaurant that serves a great buffet style breakfast, only 200m away. And of course there are plenty of cafés nearby. - We have a cat called Simba in the house (he will not come in your apartment). - In the middle of the bathroom is an old medieval roof beam; The bathroom is not so suitable for people taller than 1.95m/6.4 ft. - Towels, sheets and tourist tax are included
You can enjoy the sun in the morning from the peaceful terrace at the Nieuwegracht Canal. The entrance is from the house, via the medieval cellar that goes under the street, to the canal. There are chairs to enjoy the view from the wharf terrace overlooking the water. You will love this special medieval place, so typical of Utrecht! Our central location at the Nieuwegracht in the historic 'Museum Quarter' is very close to the Dom Tower, the Dick Bruna (Miffy) Museum, the Central Museum, the University Museum with a beautiful old garden and other highlights of Utrecht. It is about a 5 minute walk from shops and good restaurants. Amsterdam is easy to visit from here. It is 28 minutes by train.
