I stayed here for a week while working remotely in New York hours and exploring in the mornings. I found it to be the perfect location and great value. The location is excellent. You can walk to the train station in less than 10 minutes, a lovely park is 6 minutes and everything else is within a 10-minute bike ride. I was pleased to have a bike provided. They knocked on my door every few days to check in and make sure everything was fine. I wasn’t sure how private the space was going to be and was pleased that there was a door on all of the rooms leading off of the shared landing, including a lockable bedroom that’s attached to the shower room. The toilet is a separate room that you have to pass through the shared landing for. Laundry is available if you ask, but it’s in their private space. You will sleep easy with a comfortable bed, blackout curtains, and a quiet neighborhood. Working in the living room space was pleasant with a great view of the canal. The internet/wifi changed strengths sometimes making my Zoom calls a little delayed but was generally reliable.
Our stay in Utrecht exceeded all of our expectations. The city itself is magnificent but our experience was greatly enhanced by our stay in Rene and Jaaps’ apartment. The apartment is spacious, carefully and fully furnished and has a wonderful view over the canals and the garden. Rene is a gracious and generous host who was always available to provide us with guidance and advice without being obtrusive. We feel previleged to have found such a perfect base in Utrecht.
We had a very nice stay with René. The apartment is within walking distance from the train station and downtown Utrecht. The apartment has a nice balcony where you can enjoy the morning sun. We are very satisfied and would love to come back.
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt bei René. Das Air Bnb liegt Fußläufig vom Bahnhof und der Innenstadt von Utrecht. Die Wohnung hat einen schönen Balkon auf der man die Morgensonne genießen kann. Wir sind sehr zufrieden und kommen sehr gerne wieder.
Both René and Jaap are exceptionally considerate Hosts with extensive knowledge about Utrecht, all it offers, and the best way to move around this beautiful city. My two weeks in Utrecht was exactly what I needed it to be primarily because their home was well equipped with everything to make my stay comfortable and their hospitality was unwavering. My main focus while in Utrecht was to engage in a writing project and the spacious and comfortable lounge area as well as the back garden – which is an incredibly large, lush botanical haven – provided the best possible setting! The bedroom with adjoining bathroom was super comfortable with ample storage space: it has lot’s of natural light as well as a balcony (that overlooks the large garden area) where I enjoyed my first cup of coffee every morning. The fully equipped kitchen allowed me to cook my own meals when I wasn’t feasting somewhere in the many cafes and restaurants, all in walking distance. The surrounding area is as picturesque as you may imagine the best of Netherlands to be, especially the quaint city of Utrecht with its many canals, bicycle pathways, open spaces, cafes, shopping areas, and friendly people. Only a 10 minute walk from Utrecht Centraal train station, I enjoyed navigating my way around Utrecht and other towns. I recommend this wonderfully positioned home to anyone needing reassurance of where to stay in Utrecht that has a great location, historic charm, and practical modern amenities all-in-one! Most importantly, I recommend René and Jaap as the most Super of Super Hosts for their ultimate consideration and determination to provide you with everything you need to feel at home! Thank you René and Jaap!
Wonderful place, wonderful hosts, wonderful location, we hope to be back here.
We had a great stay at René and Jap's amazing canal house. The apartment offers everything you need for a successful holiday:
bright, large rooms with a great view of the canal to the front and the great garden to the rear. Everything is very tastefully furnished.
The kitchen is well equipped. The apartment is in a very quiet area. The small street in front of the house is only used by bicycles.
Cars are only allowed to drive at walking pace here. René accompanied us to the free parking lot upon arrival. This is about a 7-minute
walk from the house. We were allowed to use the bikes and were able to explore Utrecht. All in all a great vacation also thanks to
René's and Jap's hospitality. The two are very nice and always approachable, but also reserved and you have your privacy. Thanks a lot
for this! We'd love to come back!
Wir hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt in Renés und Japs tollen Grachtenhaus. Das Apartment bietet alles, was man für einen gelungenen Urlaub braucht: helle große Räume, mit tollen Blick nach vorne auf die Gracht und nach hinten in den tollen Garten. Alles ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet. Die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Die kleine Straße vor dem Haus wird nur von Fahrrädern befahren. Autos dürfen hier nur im Schritttempo fahren. René hat uns bei der Ankunft zum kostenfreien Parkplatz begleitet. Dieser ist fußläufig circa 7 Minuten vom Haus entfernt. Wir durften die Fahrräder benutzen und konnten so Utrecht erkunden. Alles in allem ein toller Urlaub auch dank Renés und Japs Gastfreundschaft. Die beiden sind sehr nett und immer ansprechbar, aber auch zurückhaltend und man hat seine Privatsphäre. Vielen Dank dafür! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at René’s place. Both René and Jaap were helpful, friendly and considerate hosts and the apartment had everything we needed for our short stay in Utrecht (including a spacious balcony overlooking a lovely garden to relax on). Thank you for making us so welcome.
The apartment is very nice. The terrace overlooking the garden and the beautiful view of the canal.
We had a very good stay with René and Japp who were perfect hosts.
