“This was the stuff of what dreams are made... The whole process (communication, info, booking) went smoothly and efficiently as it could be. The trip/stay itself was simply awesome, the house is beautiful, confortable, full of character and exquisitely located. You could feel and taste the energy of a happy family home, priceless! The very essence of LHS concept: simple, easy and yet rich and fulfilling. Bettina and Driss are exceptional hosts, all details were thought ahead and they left us all sort of information about the house and its surroundings. Thank you so much Bettina and Driss, we are looking forward to hosting your family in Bali whenever you want.”

Notre maison
+++ 6 nights minimum for points swaps) ++++
Due to Amsterdam regulations, we can only allow a maximum of 4 people (including children) to stay at our house for points swaps!
Our home was recently featured in the Dutch interior program 'Binnenstebuiten' on NPO 2: https://binnenstebuiten.kro-ncrv.nl/terugkijken/10-maart-2021
Our house is a beautiful and characteristic 300years old building in a quiet residential street in the middle of the center of Amsterdam.
The museum square, the lively Leidseplein, the picturesque "Spiegelstraat", filled with beautiful antique shops and art galleries, Prinsengracht and lots of great restaurants, bars and shops are right around the corner from us. There are also several great playgrounds for kids in the neighbourhood.
Our house can comfortably sleep 4 people. It has 3 bedrooms and a small office that has another single bed. This makes it perfect either for a family, a couple or a few friends ;-)
The master bedroom on the first floor is very spacious (30 m2) and has a very comfortable 4-poster bed which was made from old wooden floor boards from our house. It has an en-suite bathroom with a free standing bathtub and a rain shower. The girls room has a full-size single bed and a smaller kids bed. Our small guest room has a single bed which can fold out to a double. There is also a small second bathroom on the ground floor with a shower.
The living room is light, with big windows and high ceilings. It has a small dining area and a comfortable seating area with sofa and 2 great, very comfortable loungers. We have a big screen TV with digital TV channels and Netflix. The kitchen is connected to our living room. It's a lovely, fully equipped kitchen (we love to cook and bake:-) and it looks out onto the garden. Our house has a nice little garden in the back with 2 sun loungers, a bbq, a nice outside dinner table and a small playhouse for the children.
We put a lot of love into the furnishing of our house. It's a mix of scandinavian design furniture, a few antiques and home accessories that we collected from travels around the world. We also have quite a few moroccan furnishings in the house which make it very cozy. You also find our beautiful moroccan carpets throughout the house. We design them ourselves as part of a little charity project (The Weavery moroccan carpets) we are doing to support the ladies of Driss' birth village in Morocco, who make the carpets themselves for a fair wage as a labour of love.
* We also have a bed and breakfast within our house (the B&B rooms have a private entrance).
** Please note that we do not ask for a cleaning charge for direct swaps.
*** For points swaps, a charge will be made for linen and cleaning of 100,- Euro per stay for 1-2 people.
For every additional person staying we charge an extra 20,- Euro per person for the linen/cleaning.
**** Due to Amsterdam regulations, we can only accept a maximum of 4 people (including children) for points swaps!
***** Please also note that our house has steep staircases throughout the house! Therefore it's only suitable for people for whom this is no problem. Also, please bring slippers for your stay as we have wooden stairs, which means if you walk with socks, the stairs are slippery.

“Bettina’s house is spotless and the decoration unbeatable. It is better than the pictures and in a great location. It is highly recommended. Thank you Bettina for letting us stay in your beautiful house. ”
“Bettina and Driss are amazing hosts! Bettina thought about little things that made the difference when we arrived. Their house is perfectly located (we walked to all the attractions, 5 min to the grocery store) and the style is lovely. The master bedroom was huge and the bed was super comfortable! My daughter stayed in the kid’s room and she loved it. There are plenty of toys; if you have children, it is a perfect house for you. Bettina lent us a very comfortable baby crib for our baby, it was so nice of her. Seriously, we could not asked for more!! We stayed there for 12 nights and we fell in love with Amsterdam. Geneviève, Mathieu, Florence & Alice”
“The home was spacious and comfortable. The location is very central and walkable to all major attractions and transportation. There are some small steep stairs but this is part of the charm of this old building. All bathrooms and kitchen have been updated and are comfortable. Bettina is very welcoming and was great to communicate with. She was always available and provided us with everything we needed. Thanks again for a lovely stay. We hope to be back. ”
“Bettina and Driss are the ultimate hosts. They run a bed and breakfast and therefore are prepared to be fantastic at having people in the area and knowing how to make them feel welcome. Their home is an architectural marvel, built form weaving rooms and now transformed into an eclectic and beautiful place to stay. We walked or rode bikes everywhere as everything is so centrally located. Groceries and museums all no more than a 5-10 minute walk. I cannot say enough about their hospitality and the spectacular time our family had while staying in their home.”
“Stina was a perfect host, she welcomed us when we arrived. The apartment is in one of the best districts of Berlin. It was perfectly clean and had a lot of equipment. We often use Love home swap but Stina's house was one of our best stay. ”
“It was a pure joy and gift to be able to stay in Bettina's home. She left her home in perfect conditions, with clear instructions. We were so well received, with a lot of additional information to make our trip a perfect one. In addition, this location is ideally situated, even close to pilates/yoga studios, great restaurants and museums. It's a privilege to stay with you Bettina!”
“We spent five days at Bettina's house and simply it is the best place where you can stay to visit Amsterdam. Centrally located, the main museums just few minutes away and lots of bar, restaurants and shops all around. We rent the bikes and in few minutes we could reach any place of the center. The house itself shows an accuracy in all the details. All the three bedrooms are full of light and so the kitchen and dining area. There is also a nice garden where you can eat and enjoy the sunny days. Bettina is the best landlord you can find, nice and gentle in any occasion. Thanks again Bettina for the wonderful holiday!”
“Betina left us one of the most beautiful apt we ever stayed in, It's a beautiful mixture of Duch and Marocan design and in a very good location in Amsterdam. Her helper Mashya was very cooperative and we had a very good communication during the rental. We will definatly like to stay agin at her apt. Tamar and Dany”
“Everything was just brilliant! Great eye for detail. Just that little bit extra for everything. Lovely people, a memorable experience. Thanks!”
“What a great place to stay, a really interesting house and spotlessly clean. Very well located and so easy to get everywhere but also in a lovely tranquil little spot to escape to after a day in the city. A better host would be hard to find, Bettina is an excellent communicator and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great stay. Thank you very much. Robert & Jayne”
“We loved to host Bettina and her family in our home. Thank you choosing our home. And thank you for leaving it so tidy. We enjoyed your energy and your lovely children. Have a good autumn and stay healthy! Carina and Ard Jan ”

Where is it?
Votre Quartier
We are very centrally located. Our street is part of a lovely small neighbourhood, which feels almost like a little village in the middle of the city center. Our street is a small, quiet side street with almost no car traffic. We are steps away from everything. Supermarkets, lovely cafes, nice little shops as well as all the museum square with all the big museums are within a 10min walking radius from us. We also have the metro and trams 1-2 min walk away from us that connect you north, south, east and west.
