Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Government of Amsterdam

Absolutely loved our stay! We were 5 adults plus a 1yo so we loved that there was a large living area down stairs for her to play with toys, plus a baby gate on the stairs. The rooms are very spacious and we felt right at home with everything we needed, it was very warm and cosy. We were there over new years and the neighbours let off a fireworks show around the streets which was fun to see since we were just relaxing at home! The washer & dryer were very handy but will say the dryer took a few rounds to dry our clothes - could be us translating the dryer incorrectly though 😂 The location was good - it’s about a 15 min walk to the ferry then a 15 min ferry to get to central station. Or a 10 min bus then 10 min train into central area. Not the closest stay to the central area but well located for the price! To stay closer would have been expensive. But fine if you are ok for 30 mins travel in each day which was ok for us. The ferry is free, and busses/trains are cheap anyway! 😊

Fantastic accommodation, perfect location! Definitely a gem for Amsterdam!

Very good experience.

A small but clean apartment on 2 floors in a quiet environment. A mini garden/terrace. 7 min. to the nearest tram stop and then about 25 min to the center. Aldi and Jumbo - about 7-8 min walk. The communication with Antonio and Fiecke was perfect!

We stayed in Francine's apartment for five days with my husband and our children. The apartment was clean, tidy and well furnished, there is a nice indoor garden and a nice park with children's games right in front of the apartment. The area is about 20 minutes from the center of Amsterdam but is well connected by the metro (5 minutes walk from the apartment) and is very quiet and full of greenery (which we enjoyed living in a large city). Francine was available from the first moment, gave me very useful information and also gave us a package of cookies as a welcome. I appreciated Francine's courtesy and kindness, in addition to the cleanliness of the apartment, which is well maintained and has everything you need. Not least Francine has provided a bathroom with foam, shampoo, towels for the whole family and coffee pods. In addition to the dishes that are present in the kitchen and can be used. Great experience!

We spent a few days in Diemen: Fons' place was spectacular. Cozy, clean, spacious spaces. Founded a magnificent landlord: always available with tips and directions, he made us feel at home, leaving us 4 bicycles (there were 4 of us) and many comforts in the house. The rooms were exactly as pictured: the house gave a sense of warmth, as if we were from a friend. There was everything beyond the usual tea and coffee: it's a sign of great and generous hospitality, which we really appreciated. A small problem with the dishwasher, but Fons was very helpful with us and took care of everything. We recommend this 5-star home: clean, cared for, and welcoming. This makes the trip to Amsterdam very pleasant and relaxing. Priceless fund, also 5 stars to the host :)

Very convenient for central Amsterdam - very spacious, safe quiet area with really good transport links

Excellent host. Beautiful location easy links to get in and out of Amsterdam.

This is a terrific location in a nice area of the city center, right along a pretty canal. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The central train station is a 10 minute walk. The apartment has a relatively large living space with a bedroom area and convertible sofa. There was plenty of dishware and utensils for dining at “home”. There was also a washing machine but no dryer, so we did not use the washer but it was available with clothes pins etc. for hang drying. The bathroom had a clean shower with nice hot water and plenty of supplies like soap, shampoo and conditioner. Douwe was extremely responsive to our needs. We arrived early but he generously allowed us to check in while he finished cleaning the bathroom. He made us feel that he’d be available if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Amsterdam.

Perfect hosts and always on time with the messages. Location good and in a walking distance from everything.

The apartment is sunny and bright, clear of clutter, well lit, and so nice to be in. From the get go, Armand was incredibly responsive, and if there was anything I needed or had a question about, he was right on it. The location is also terrific, close to transit, can walk to so much, beautiful parks nearby, shopping, etc. It made for a wonderful "home" while in Amsterdam. Bedankt Armand! - Nina

Very nice apartment, located in a quiet area near the Oosterpark. A large terrace very nice for the evenings. All 15 min by bike from the train station, museums... Thank you Petra for hosting us and trusting us.

Dani's place was super comfortable and quiet yet in the heart of everything! Easy to get around, there were lots of local cafes, restaurants and the big market just steps away! Dani offered recommendations, super clear instructions and was friendly and flexible - definitely recommended!!!

Great place to stay , beautiful home, very comfortable and cosy in a very safe and convenient location. Jasper & Linda are excellent hosts,only a message away and always ready to help.

I absolutely loved my 3 week stay here, it has everything you could need. It instantly felt like home and includes many small details that makes your stay easy and pleasant. You can really tell that Han's has given good thought and care into the space. He is an absolutely wonderful host that I hope to stay with again in the future. The location is amazing, as other reviews has said, it's the perfect distance from the city center/centraal station(10-20min). Even if you don't feel like going that far, there are many delicious restaurants within 1 block. Grocery stores, museums, the zoo and plenty else to do within 3 blocks! During the day the neighborhood is lively and active, but it never feels overcrowded. There's a constant stream of pedestrians, bicyclist, bridge raises, and boats passing in the canal to watch. During the night it a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Bonus points for stable and fast wifi and an awesome hot shower. You won't be disappointed staying at Han's😁👍

We had an amazing stay, Peter and I kept in touch about arrival times and he was there to meet me on arrival and show me around and provide guidance on buses and local restaurants. The apartment was spacious and inviting, bed rooms were very comfortable, great shower room and very nice to relax in and catch up with my friends. I would recommend highly recommend this accommodation

I cannot recommend Markus and her rental enough. We were 4 adults including my 84 year old mom and the place worked so well for us. Fantastic neighborhood with restaurants and shops very close; best of all 5 minute walk to Vondelpark for a stroll, a beer or coffee and a respite from the crazy hustle of Amsterdam. Peaceful and well appointed home that was free of clutter. I only realized this was a family home when Markus told me. Separate places to get space. Downstairs bed for my mom (no stairs). I will recommend to friends and family!

This was a perfect stay for my first trip to Amsterdam. The cleanliness, location, and convenience of this unit were absolutely amazing. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful by also providing an itinerary of activities, surrounding neighborhoods, and restaurants. Not to mention we were practically right around the corner to one of the best parks in the city that we walked through every single day. Hopefully I can stay here again on my next visit!

This lovely place is right off the park, walkable to restaurants, shops and even to the museums (through the park), and just a 20 min ride to the city center. It's in a VERY family friendly area!! The host is excellent -- very friendly and helpful and quick with responses. The flat is fully appointed and even has a little back patio, but 2 of the bedrooms are quite small, and the stairs between floors are steep!

We had a great stay at Joze’s Amsterdam apartment!! Great communication with the owners, a lovely natural light apartment with balcony and easy transportation options ( 2 tram lines within a 6 minute walk). Joze makes it very clear about the steep canal house stairs. The two flights are steep but there are lights and railings which I appreciated as I’m in my 70’s. We loved our stay in this peaceful neighborhood.

Peter was very friendly and responsive. The place has a very nice backyard, and the appartment is surrounded with many shops and coffees. The location is so good, there’s no need for any transportation, you can walk everywhere. Thanks to Peter for hosting us in this lovely apartment.

Mia was extremely friendly and helpful. The place was cosy and comfortable and In a calm and beautiful area of town. Would definitely go back!

A lovely home which is well connected by the metro close by. Ajay was also very responsive and helpful. The apartment is modern and very clean, can only recommend.

We had very nice days in Amsterdam - and the apartment is super quiet, but the city center is still easily accessible. We felt very comfortable and the playground opposite our children was a lot of fun. Thanks to the hosts, they were always available very friendly! I'd love to come back!!
