Based in the historic Wittenberg building in the heart of the peaceful Plantage (or East Canal) district, this bright one-bedroom apartment combines timeless charm with strikingly minimal Dutch design. Start your day with coffee in the shared courtyard, before hopping on a bike and following the network of canals to see where they take you. Amsterdam is a treasure trove of museums, parks and independent shops and cafes and you’re just a fifteen-minute walk from the centre. After a full day of sightseeing, come back to your relaxing haven for a glass of wine on the squishy orange sofa. If you don’t feel like cooking, Plantage is packed with places to eat and drink – take your pick.
