City apartment in wonderful Amsterdam!

The apartment is in the spacious area of Zeeburg / Oostelijk eilanden quite near the centre of Amsterdam. The apartment has 2 bedrooms, and an ample patio/garden.

People with problems walking stairs might have a problem with this house as it has quaint (little) steps in a few places.

Please bear in mind that we live and work here. It is a lovely place and pretty unique for Amsterdam and in a great neighbourhood. Amsterdam hardly has any gardens or patios to be enjoyed so we are very happy with this place. I try to make it as cosy as possible and we are experienced home-exchangers but not a hotel or travel agency, nor are we amongst the very wealthy, so I would love to exchange with normal people that are like-minded: responsible but relaxed... so the balance is good.

I will travel with my 17 year old daughter or also with my 21 year old daughter, depending on if they care to join. Sometimes I will travel alone.

Please bear in mind that we don`t drive so remote locations are not great for us!!!!!!

THANKS FOR THE OFFERS BUT WE HAVE ALREADY AGREED ON A SWAP FOR 2024!! ONLY MAYBE A FEW DAYS IN BELGIUM or midweek UK ARE AN OPTION FOR THE REST.

About the location

It`s where water meets modern architecture. The Oostelijke Eilanden (Eastern Docklands) area mixes maritime heritage with thriving urban renewal.

By the middle of the 19th century, a new, deeper, modern harbour was built to the east of the old ports. This later became the KNSM peninsula and Borneo-Sporenburg. It was a very lively area in the first half of the 20th century, with ships transporting passengers and freight to and from the colonies.

Development began in the 1990s, and now there is an eclectic mix of old warehouses and new, remarkable architecture, comparable with London’s Docklands. The area now houses unusual shops, restaurants, and many cultural facilities.
