B&B De Baronie

This was such a wonderful and special experience, to stay in a house with such a history, it’s like you’re staying in Amsterdam back in 1670. Everything about this place is authentic and kept in the original state. When you walk on the beautiful monumental stairs (very steep, so keep that in mind if you’re older or having difficulties walking, you need to use them in order to get to the apartments), you can just feel how the people have used them over the past 400 years. The apartment is very stylish and the view is incredible. It’s in the oldest part of Amsterdam, here is where the old sailors lived and you can still see many remains of that in the area. Everything is nearby, the red light district, beautiful buildings, the central station and lots of good restaurants and bars. I think this is a gem, and the price we paid for this was unbelievably low! The owners live in the souterrain but we only met them when we left. So you have all the privacy you want. Your own bathroom, toilet is on the same floor but outside the room, which I liked actually. So if you like to experience the real deal, the old Amsterdam where it’s famous for, than don’t hesitate to book one of the apartments in this house, or better call it a museum.
