  : This apartment is converted from a former storage building for peat, lots of character! The location was convenient for walking to restaurants , shopping and mass transit. Nice updated kitchen appliances including a small fridge and a washing machine . The beds are comfortable. The owner was easy to reach and accessible.
  : We knew there were stairs, but they are steep! Not all travelers can manage them. The bedroom could use light /darkening window curtains. We hung a cover over the drapes to darken the room at night. The bed is not a king, its two twins pushed together with separate sheets, etc. additional pillows would be nice too. The bathroom is tight , but its been updated. The noise from the street and the bar and restaurant below continues each night till after midnight, so if youre not accustomed to city life, this is something to be aware of.

  : We enjoyed our stay at this quirky apartment. It is in a great location by a canal, about 15 minutes walk from the station. The building dates from 1750, and has very narrow and steep stairs (like many old buildings in the Netherlands). After walking in the entrance, you climb to the small living area and kitchen, then up another steep flight of stairs to the en-suite bedroom which has a nice canal view. Some people may find this inconvenient but we thought it gave the place character and enhanced our experience. Guests have the entire building to themselves and their own front door. Pieter and Anne Marie were very welcoming and helpful hosts. Haarlem itself is a lovely town and a great place to stay if you want to avoid the tourist madness of Amsterdam.

  : Great location, easy walk to everything. lovely views of the canal. The aircon was great on the top floor as it was a very hot place. Good communication from host. We were able to check in early and could have left our bags there after check out if needed.Haarlem is gorgeous and in our opinion , as a couple in our early sixties, more beautiful and quiet than Amsterdam.

  : We loved the fact it was an apartment and not just a room. It is a funky warehouse conversion over three levels. It has all the mod cons like washing machine and dishwasher and a fully equipped kitchen. Great views of the Spaarne river and easy access to Haarlem and 20mins by train to Amsterdam. We arrived New Years Eve and had a grand fireworks display. The owner Pieter, was very friendly and helpful and very accommodating when we thought our plans might change. I highly recommend this lovely place.

  : It's a historical building at the excellent location.
  : The light switches were either broken or unclear how to use. Conventional mechanical switches would be much better.
