The location was very convenient for walking or taking an Uber to locations throughout the city. Since there were three women in our group, having two bathrooms was a plus. We enjoyed being able to relax in the spacious living room each evening. The kitchen has everything anyone would need during their stay including coffee and tea. Arjen, our host, carried our bags up and down the stairs and during a tour of the area he introduced us to nearby restaurants which we visited each night. ##### Nancy L.

The apartment is in a beautiful, lovingly furnished old house, just as you'd expect in Amsterdam. Everything is clean, the owner, Arjen, gave us a very friendly welcome, and the tour he took us through the neighborhood absolutely hit the spot with my daughters, who had never been to Amsterdam before. Almost everything is very close, usually within 12 to 20 minutes' walk, and if not - we had to use public transport for a cat café - that's no problem either. This city is so rich in diverse cultural opportunities that a week was far too short. Whether it's serious things (the Anne Frank House or the Holocaust Museum), interesting places (the Chinese Quarter around the corner, the Prostitute Museum, or a diamond polishing factory), trendy spots (Marineterrein for swimming), or the must-do activity when in the city: the canal cruise - everything starts from this beautiful captain's house - the icing on the cake. Thank you Arjen, that was one of the best holidays I've ever had with my daughters. Best regards, Anke ##### Anke M.

Super central & convenient to everything! And staying in a place that was built in 1652 definitely added to the experience.Only complaint- we didn’t stay longer.I would absolutely recommend Arjen & his Captain’s House to anyone…..& when we come back to Amsterdam we will definitely stay here again! ##### KJ Z.

Amazing thinking about the people and history that has transpired over the 470 years this house has been here. A real feeling that you are somewhere special, and not just a place to spend the night. Perfect location for walking anywhere in the city, and is safe and quiet as well. Metro and trams also close by, so getting anywhere is easy. Two single beds in the 2nd room was perfect for our family. We loved the upstairs loft for eating and hanging out. ##### Matt ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evelyn L. 19 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, wonderful host, and comfortable place! The communication with the host Arjen before our arrival was great. We appreciate the tour he gave us upon arrival and the knowledge of neighborhood he shared. The location is very convenient, right next to the central station. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. There are long stairs to get to the guests apartment. But Arjen help us carry our luggage up and down. Even thought my son is a special needs child, the stairs didn’t cause any problem to us. We would come back to stay here again at our next visit to Amsterdam. ##### Evelyn L.

Perfect home base in Amsterdam! 2BR, 2BA, well stocked kitchen to cook in if you want and loads of space (especially for Holland) to unwind after sightseeing. Walking distance to everything! Charming home. Excellent host-very communicative, greeted us with a little tour of the apartment and neighborhood which was super helpful. All around excellent. A couple of nights we did hear some people going home (loudly) late at night-it was not a huge issue and obviously is out of the host’s control, probably would happen anywhere in the city. Highly recommend and would stay again! ##### Jennifer N.

He was there to greet us, helped carry our bags upstairs and gave us a lovely walking tour around the neighborhood. The apartment was everything we needed and more. The kitchenette is well equipped, the beds are comfy, the 2nd bathroom was nice to have, as was the patio. The neighborhood was easy to learn, and I felt completely safe, even when I went out for a stroll on my own. We walked almost everywhere we went, and we went everywhere...Anne Frank House, Van Gogh, Moco, Rijksmuseum, ARTIS, Nemo, A'DAM Lookout, This is Holland, canal tours etc. And it is very close to Central Station and the ferry. I will definitely ĺook for this rental first when I return and would recommend it to anyone. ##### Heather H.

His orientation walk through the neighborhood was extremely helpful. He helped with our heavy bags and had some nice treats as well as a well provisioned kitchen. There were fresh flowers in the apartment throughout our stay. All was very clean and organized with nice soap products and lots of towels. Having the extra toilet is a big plus. Close to Central Station and the Rembrandt House, everything we wanted was near at hand but a bit outside the commotion of tourists in the Red Light District. Be advised that the stairs are steep (as they generally are in these homes from the 1600’s) but the experience of staying in a historic place is worth the effort. We can not say enough good things about our stay and would definitely book it again if we visit in the future. ##### Susan V.

But, Arjen, the owner, helped us load in/load out our luggage. He and his family lived next door - very convenient if we had inquiries for him. He was so helpful: initially walked us through the apartment and explained the appliances, ventilation, heating and entertainment systems. He then gave us a 45 minute walking tour of the neighborhood, and suggested places to eat, have coffee and a pastry, shop for groceries and visit (e.g. museums) - overall, a fine location. There was a popular tavern, Pollux, about 2 blocks away, and it could get a little noisy at closing time as crowds flowed out onto the street -- overall though, the crowd noise was tolerable. We'd definitely go again - and Arjen was a fine host! ##### Michael H. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott B. 28 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Trip to Amsterdam My wife and I, along with our adult children, were visiting Amsterdam as part of a longer trip to the UK. Our goal was to be out of the main touristy areas but with easy access to them. Captain's House was a great location in that way. It has a very 'neighborhoody' feel, yet it's a short walk from the Nemo Museum, Nieuwmarkt, the Red Light District, and the Central Station, which will get you anywhere you need to go in the city. Arjen, our host, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He took the time to familiarize us with the neighborhood, pointing out the best places to dine, unwind, and shop for groceries, while also sharing some interesting historical tidbits. His guidance was invaluable and quickly made us feel like locals. The apartment was well-equipped and comfortable. We didn't cook, but it looked like he had everything you would need if you wanted to - there were just too many great restaurants to choose from! The only cons: The noise on the street late at night when the bar around the corner closes. (Only the front room and it's better if the windows and shutters are closed) Very steep and narrow steps up (though that's most homes in Amsterdam, from what I've learned.) We absolutely would stay here again! ##### Scott B.

Arjen is the perfect host. He offered to meet us at the train station and help move our luggage to his home. He insisted that he carry our luggage up (and down when we left) the stairs. I can see why. The stairway is steep and narrow - up 3 floors. The 4 of us, although in our 70’s and 80’s had no trouble going up and down the stairs. Arjen provided fresh cut flowers, live plants, including an orchid, a bottle of wine and beer, and gave us a walking tour of the neighborhood after our arrival. He pointed out favorite restaurants and grocery stores. The whole house was perfect for us - 2 bedsores, one with a private garden/sitting area, 1 and 1/2 bathrooms, which is rare to find in the VRBO’s we stayed in. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the 3rd floor. The kitchen, eating area and living room areoin the 4th floor. There was very little noise from street traffic which is a plus when you stay in the city. The beds were extremely comfortable. Arjen checked on us while we were there to see if we needed anything - again, the perfect host. We were about 12 minutes walk from the train station, buses, ferries and the bike excursion we went on. Overall, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2038f8ce-4a1c-485a-b093-ed56d53acaa3-1755040016089.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b429fab4-9280-4426-b629-9b447eeb55c6-1755040031424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef228e08-497d-4963-8e9e-9e1543403fb1-1755040032059.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46482fd8-2e91-4cb6-b953-dec66364f723-1755040026970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kathleen D.
