Hello, my hubby, mum, myself and our 16mth old hyperactive toddler will be spending three nights in Amsterdam 20-23 July. I have been on all the usual amsterdam apartment booking websites. So many to choose from so I much prefer to ask fellow travellers for their personal inputs and recommendations on a nice apartment to stay that is toddler friendly, in a good location that we can walk everywhere to. Ideally it will have airconditioning, an outdoor patio and view of the canal !
Our max budget per night is 220 Euros.
Is the Jordaan the best place to be based ?
Many thanks for your feedback.
Cheers !

Here is a nice 2 BR apartment, toddler friendly, in a good location, you can walk everywhere, outdoor patio and view of the canal. In fact, it's right on the Herengracht Canal.

WOW this looks great ! However on the website it says min 5 nights stay though. Do u think it's worth trying to see if they will let us stay for just three nights ?

It NEVER hurts to ask.

Not sure if you've already booked, but we were just in Amsterdam last week, and stayed in the coolest apartment imaginable. It's in the Jordaan, is 180 Euros a night (3-night minimum stay), is beautiful and spacious (about 900 square feet so plenty of space to toddle), is well-equipped, etc. Wonderful owners. It's not on a canal, but the Jordaan has the most beautiful very nearby and with all that space, who needs a patio?
