Bed & Beads The African Lily

The cosy room with African decorations is situated in the downstairs guest apartment of a townhouse build in 1712, located in the heart of the old city centre 'De Jordaan'. The bedroom, situated in the basement, has a comfortable queen size bed and is surrounded by African beads. The small bathroom (shower and sink) is situated ensuite, the private toilet is located outside the room a few steps higher on the split level next to the kitchen. The spacious living/dining/business area is the perfect place for our guests to sit down and relax, drink a fresh coffee, watch television, grab a book from the big library cupboard or make use of the fast speed WIFI to get some work done. Please note that you'll be sharing the same entrance with the home owners, who live in the fully equipped top apartment. To get an idea how guests experience the shared accommodation please read the following review: "The hosts do live in the home and somewhere strike the perfect balance of providing complete privacy as well as being available should you need recommendations or assistance." Due to the different split levels the apartment is not suitable for guests who have difficulties climbing stairs! Guests can fully enjoy the downstairs living area and kitchen. Use of the kitchen: our policy is as follows: Cooking full meals: sorry! Heating up meals in the microwave: absolutely! Preparing cold breakfast (sandwich etc): sure! Using the stove/oven: nope! Fridge/freezer space: limited! Coffee or tea facilities: complementary! Guests staying longer than a week: full use of the kitchen! Other requests: can be discussed in person or upon arrival! No breakfast is served by the owners, but you can either make a simple breakfast yourself or choose to go to one of the breakfast places around the corner. USB ports to charge your phone are available in the bedroom, no adaptor needed! COVID 19 protocol: We’re committed to an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed in partnership with experts in health and hospitality. Here’s what we’ve done to clean and sanitize the space: We use cleaners and disinfectants, approved by global health agencies. We cleaned, mopped and/or dusted before sanitizing. All high-touch surfaces have been sanitized, down to the doorknob. Each room was cleaned using extensive cleaning checklists. We provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay if you want to. On top of that: We do have a smart lock with a keypad or access via the Danalock app on your smartphone We’ll practice social distancing with guests, and encourage you to do the same. In stead of handshakes or hugging, we’ll consider alternative no-contact greetings. We have a 12 hour period between rentals. This waiting period is for your protection and helps to ventilate the room, to limit your exposure to aerosolized virus droplets that may be in the room. So as you can see we took all precautions to make sure your stay at the African Lily is Covid 19 proof and as enjoyable as it can be. When you have a cat allergy, don’t book! The home owners have a cat.
