The Water Studio

The house is beautiful and extremely functional. Waking up to the sound of birds in the morning, watching the swans, and sitting quietly on the balcony on slightly misty evenings makes you feel like you’re inside a European film. Truly therapeutic. Tamara and her husband are incredibly helpful with everything and very kind hosts. The IJburg area is exceptionally quiet and far from the damaging side of mass tourism. It’s a place where you can really disconnect and listen to yourself—ultra peaceful. There is a market nearby, and the area has genuinely excellent Italian and Japanese restaurants. Ordering food is also easy if you prefer staying in. Overall, after many visits to Amsterdam over the years, this might be the most peaceful and atmospheric place I have ever stayed. Thank you.

The kitchen does not have a stove or cooktop and is equipped only with a microwave, so preparing full meals is somewhat limited

Comfortable, had everything you needed, great balcony, hosts were available if needed and were very helpful - location was also good with easy connection to city centre.

Loved the location, right on the water. Only a quick tram ride to the centre. Very comfortable room and bed. Great Wi-Fi. The shower in the room was kind of weird but it was nice and hot and great pressure. It was convenient having a microwave, kettle and fridge, and the Nespresso machine was a real treat. Would definitely stay again 🇨🇦

The hosts were very kind and friendly, they offered to help us if we need anything from them. The canoe opportunity is quite fun down the river.
