Reviews

David 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

A great apartment in a beautiful location.

Pros: The bed was sooo comfy and the shower was fantastic. The apartment is in a really quiet location - pretty much silent at night - yet one street across/2 mins away you’ve got the cafes, bars and supermarkets. The street and neighborhood are just beautiful. There’s a little bar across the road but we really didn’t hear a sound and they were all done by 10.30pm. The flat is no more than 5 minutes walk from the Dom (centre of town). It was spotlessly clean. Art was friendly and was available to meet us on arrival. He’d supplied two fluffy towels each and a welcome tinny in the fridge. We would definitely stay again, although we missed access to outside space.

Cons: It’s quite expensive and we thought we’d offset some of the cost by self-catering. While the kitchen area looks great, it’s not really set up for anything more than getting a quick snack together. It’s not a cook’s kitchen. But this probably isn’t an issue for most people because there are so many places to eat out. I think some reviews I read had mentioned a smell and it does smell slightly odd (dampproof treatment smell if anyone knows that!) but we just opened the window and it was fine.

Best place to stay in the beautiful old part of town in Utrecht

Pros: Old part of city close to many boutique shops and cafes. Ground floor apartment so easy access for travellers with heavy cases. Good facilities very clean and comfortable..

Great location and facilities

Pros: Lovely ground floor apartment in peaceful location close to city facilities and attractions. Hosts were welcoming and helpful, coming quickly to assist when we rather foolishly locked our cash in the combination safe and couldn't get back in!

Cons: Would benefit from slightly better lighting in the kitchen/lounge area.
