Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Schiphol - 14 KM
We live in a residential area in the South of Amsterdam in the Rivierenbuurt (Scheldebuurt). This is very close to the lively ‘Pijp’ area (including the famous Albert Cuyp Market). It takes 15 minutes by foot to get there.
It takes 20 minutes by tram (tram 4, direction central station) to go to the city center (famous canals)
HOW TO GET TO OUR APARTMENT:
BY CAR: Our place is quite central, so parking is expensive (€ 4,50/hour). Only on Sunday’s and national holidays it’s free, but therefore it can get hard finding a parking spot too. To save money you could park at Amsterdam RAI and get tram 4 (direction Amsterdam central station) to the house (stop Waalstraat). It’s a 10-minute ride and the tram stop is a 2-minute walk from the house. It will save you a fortune in parking fees!
PUBLIC TRANSPORT: The public transport system in Amsterdam works very well. To plan your trip with public transport you can use the website http://www.9292.nl The website is available in English. The nearest tram stop to our home is stop Waalstraat (right in from of our house). From there trams will take you to the direction of the city centre, or the other way to train station Amsterdam Sloterdijk. There are also several bus stops near.
FROM THE AIRPORT: Best way to travel to the house from Amsterdam Schiphol is to take the train (or the sprinter) to Amsterdam RAI. This train leaves every 15 minutes and will take you to Amsterdam RAI in about 10 minutes. From there you can take tram 4 (direction: Amsterdam central station), to Waalstraat. From there it’s a very short walk to the house/ right in front of our house.
TAXI: The General Amsterdam Taxi number is: +31 20 7777777. If you use Uber Taxi (gives at least 30% discount) or the website http://www.taxiboeken.nl you can order a taxi there for a very special price!
TRAVELLING TO SCHIPHOL AIRPORT FROM OUR APARTMENT
Walk to metro station Europaplein (10 minutes by foot). Metro 52 (direction South) takes you to Station Zuid (7 mins) where you can get the train to Schiphol Airport (10 mins)

FR50209L'appartement de Léa est très spacieux, confortable et particulièrement propre. On s'y sent bien et le quartier est très agréable. On rejoint facilement le centre ville tout en dormant au calme. Le dialogue était fluide et sympathique. Nous avons retrouvé notre appartement en parfait état, propre et respecté.
