The Jan Hanzenstraat II Residence
Perks for the Parents
Stay in the heart of the Oud-West neighborhood at this contemporary loft apartment, with restaurants and playgrounds nearby. It sleeps 4. Parents can relax in the cozy living area, which leads to a roof terrace for late afternoon and evening sun. The hotel-style primary bedroom is spacious and offers privacy from the rest of the bedrooms, with a connected balcony for a quiet morning coffee. When you’re ready to explore the city, it’s well connected (less than 5 minutes’ walk to 3 tram stops) and 1 street away from the De Hallen indoor food market.
Why Kids Love it
There’s a dedicated kids bedroom as well as toys, games and books in the apartment, and the host can arrange a high chair and a crib on request. Just around the corner there’s a nice playground for kids of all ages, including a football area, petting zoo and a sandbox. Families with older kids can reach the Museum district in 15 minutes by tram, or explore the green spaces of Vondelpark (20 minutes on foot or by tram) for a day outside.
Things to Know

About the Location
The apartment is located in the popular Oud West area, which is very well located to the rest of the city. It’s just 2 tram stops away from Museum square (or 10 minutes’ walk), 5 stops away from Central Station/Damsquare and 10 minutes’ walk from Leidseplein. The neighborhood has plenty of nice restaurants and bars nearby, including the best ice cream parlor (Massimo) and a family-style pasta place (Spaghetteria) located down the street. It’s next door to the Ten Kate market, a daily food market to stroll around for fresh bread, vegetables and flowers.

Style Notes
Monochrome loft. The hosts have chosen a mix of contemporary styles and refurbished design. They love art and photography, and have added eclectic pieces of furniture, such as the bedroom drawers and the living room trunk to add a vintage touch. We love the winding white staircase in the center of the living space, the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and the sophisticated black matte kitchen.
