“Five stars all round. We loved staying at Emiel and Laura's place in Amsterdam. The apartment is beautifully designed and furnished. They are experienced hosts and have a large information pack about their home and the surrounding area. The garden was pretty. It was super to have the piano to practice whist we were away! The area is great as it is away from the city centre but in an area which has everything you need. Nice restaurants, a great organic supermarket, a yoga centre which offers a 'tourist pass' which I went to every morning, and the highlight was Vondelspark which was a great place to explore and burn off some energy. We took scooters for our kids and I took rollerblades and we very much enjoyed burning around the park! The other side of the park there are some other very nice restarants, and also you can take a walk through the park to reach the Museum district. We had a great time... thank you so much Emiel and Laura x”

Notre maison
PLEASE CHECK OUR AVAILABILTY BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST. EMIEL IS A SCHOOL TEACHER AND CANNOT TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF THE HOLIDAYS.
Our home is situated in the residential, yet very central Amsterdam Area called "Oud West". Very close to the touristy area's like the Jordaan, Leidseplein and hotspots like the Food Hallen and the famous Vondelpark.
The house has an open plan ground floor containing the living area, dining table and fully equipped kitchen. It has a direct access to the spacious garden patio and the wide stairs offer an easy access to the tow bedrooms. The children's bedroom has a baby cot and a bunkbed for our 6 year old girl. We have 2 bedrooms, one we rent out as a guest room, but this won't be during a swap. Could be if you are staying just with 2 persons in our home. If you stay with more than two this room will be your extra room with small bathroom also and a kings size double bedbed. Our own bedroom is for two adults with a queen size bed. So in Total a maximum of 4 adults and 2 kids (one of them has to be small to fit the baby cot)
Laura lived on the ground floor before meeting Emiel in 2012. Emiel moved in in 2013 and while Laura was pregnant with Aimée in 2015, Emiel bought the house on the first floor. Two years later in 2017 we connected the two apartments to form one and stripped and completely renovated both floors and extended the ground floor to create the large, spacious and comfortable home we live in today.
As mentioned before we created a separate guest room (in the front of the house on the first floor) which we rent out to tourists while we're home, and when using Love Home Swap it's also possible that it's rented out. However, you will most definitely not be bothered, as these guests have a separate and private entrance to this room and their own bathroom.

There are two very low maintenance cats that need (minimal) taking care of. We hope you don't mind their presence..

“We had a great time at Emiels home ! Very well situated, small supermarket at the end of the street, and not far from the vondelpark. My mom had her birthday and they gave me decoration items to surprise her. We would love to come back again !”
“It was a very nice swap! The communication was easy, clear and with respect. The house was clean, everything was taking care of. The location was in a nice neighbourhood. Shops close by, we could park our car in the street. It was funny because the swap was in our own country. So it was a classical swap and we liked it. Our house is located in a small city in Holland near Rotterdam. So it was a nice try-out. During the swap we had some contact with Emiel and Laura to inform eachother. We liked the house in Amsterdam. And we met Emiel and Laura, nice people as well. Thanks for being in your house and taking care of our house! Regards Rob and Orly”
“Emiel was very welcoming and his property was perfect for our 3 night stay. The house was in perfect order and offered a good range of facilities to make our stay enjoyable. It was in easy walking distance (or trams) to Amsterdam Centre. Ideal for a city break. We would recommend restaurant Adam nearby - excellent”
“Emiel and Laura and their familie were our first LHS-guests and lucky us for that. They were so nice. Easy to talk with, understanding and with a positiv and flexible mindset. We really like them and all the time felt that our house were in good hands. They also shared pictures with us and we could see they really liked the house and were good at enjoying life in a positive way.”
“Emiel, Laura and their 2 children are perfect guests. Communication and organisation were pleasant and relaxed and we found out home in perfect condition on return. They are warmly welcomed back whenever they would like.”
“Very friendly and happy couple, very nice guests!!”
“Emiel and his family were fantastic guests, were very friendly and interested in the village! Would love to have them return any time.”

Where is it?
Votre Quartier
Amsterdam Oud West (Old West) has recently become known as Goud West (Gold West) due to the recent popularity of the neighborhood and its real estate. It houses a lot of families and the shops and restaurants have something to show for it. It has a great connection to the airport and the downtown area's by public transport.
