About this property

Sonnenberg - Canal side & view - Private & Central

  • Stay in a 17th-century Amsterdam canal house

    Experience Amsterdam from one of its most beautiful historic canal houses. Sonnenberg is a unique 17th-century property, built in 1649 and located on the Herengracht in the heart of the famous Nine Streets. With its original stepped gable, oak beams, wooden floors and historic staircase, the house offers a rare glimpse into Amsterdam’s Golden Age.

    The apartment occupies two entire floors of this remarkable home, giving you space, privacy and wonderful canal views. The cosy living room is the perfect place to relax after exploring Amsterdam, with a comfortable sofa, TV and canal-side bench. At the rear, a large dining table provides a lovely setting for breakfast, dinner or a relaxed evening together.

    The compact self-catering area includes a fridge, dishwasher, microwave/oven, toaster, coffee maker, kettle and everything you need for light meals. Please note that, in accordance with local regulations, there is no stove or full kitchen sink. A full-size separate sink is available on the same floor.

    Upstairs you will find two comfortable bedrooms, one overlooking the canal, and a bathroom with bath and shower. The bedrooms can be arranged as doubles or twins on request.

    The location could hardly be better. Step outside and you are in the Nine Streets, surrounded by independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and beautiful canals. Dam Square, the Flower Market, Spui, Jordaan, Westerkerk and the Anne Frank House are all within easy walking distance.

    Please note: this is a genuine 400-year-old canal house, and its historic character includes steep and narrow circular staircases. There are two internal flights between the entrance, living room and bedrooms. They are challenging for guests with limited mobility.

    If you are looking for an authentic Amsterdam experience, with history, character and a beautiful canal right outside your door, Sonnenberg offers a truly special place to stay.

Great place and location. Short walk to much of what we wanted to see. Tram is a few minutes away. Note there are tight circular stairs to get to the living and then bedrooms. Anna was great in helping us carry them up. And tbh we left a couple bags in the entryway (totally safe and locked). Overall we had a great stay and would book there again.

Charming Amsterdam Apartment

We loved the location of this apartment. It was charming and spacious for a family of four. The stairs are tricky to navigate but we got used to them fairly quickly. Anna was very friendly and helpful with our check in. We really enjoyed our stay.

Trip to Amsterdam

We really enjoyed our time in Amsterdam. This apartment is in a perfect location near everything to do. Within a short walk of the main train station, shops and many restaurants. Very nice amenities and in a nice neighborhood. Our host was great to work with and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again and come back and spend more time in Amsterdam.

Amazing!!!!

From location, to host welcome, to the historical residence…this place has it all. We would enjoy excursions then come back to the apartment and sit by the window and look out over the canal and bridge, and watch the world happen…incredible!! We felt very safe in this area too.

Great VRBO. We had everything we needed. The rack of maps and guidebooks helped a lot. Lots of local construction work in early AM made sleep a bit difficult. Location was perfect, able to walk to all museums and attractions. Overall we loved staying there.

Gem of an apartment

We loved staying here! From the start, my communication with Wyste, and later Anne, was prompt, professional, helpful and friendly. The apartment is as described- perfect location, spotless, comfortably furnished, and with thoughtful touches & supplies throughout (from tea to hair conditioner). And such comfortable beds…

The location of the spot is unbeatable. We were able to walk everywhere within the canal area and beyond. We did Uber to the property from the main train station and it was very easy to get a ride. The property is very clean. The view is amazing- we would sit with the front windows open and just watch the world go by in the mornings with coffee. The stairs inside are steep, but there aren’t many and it adds to the charm of the property. Managing check-in and check out and everything before it was very easy.

Perfect place for a long weekend in Amsterdam

Our family (2 adults and 2 kids- 8yr and 12yrs) visited Amsterdam for a long weekend and had the good fortune of staying at this beautiful house. Immediately off the canal and centrally located- this place was a perfect home base as we explored Amsterdam. The house was extremely comfortable and well equipped. Anna and Wytse were clear with all communication and provided some helpful information about airport transfers, local restaurants, shops, etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the city.

Great location, clean, and in a safe neighborhood. The photos in the description should give you a good feel for the property. The stairs are a bit steep, but we expected that. The beds are firm and comfortable. Highly recommended for both adults and families. If you want to be on the canals and within walking distance of the city center, this place is for you.

Wonderful Stay

The location could not be better to explore the city - with great frites up the road and a supermarket close by. Nine streets area is charming and authentic. The apartment is tastefully decorated and having two floors gave ample space and comfort. The canal and bridge views from the windows were a highlight. The host and property manager were excellent with communication and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Sonnenberg Canal View was absolutely perfect in every way! The house was clean, beautiful, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It was so easy to get a bite to eat, catch a tram or just wander the lovely streets to shop or just explore. Wytse quickly responded to any questions that I had before our trip. Ania was so helpful, warm and welcoming once we arrived. I would highly recommend this rental, and would not stay anywhere else in the future!

Perfect stay in Amsterdam

My husband and I traveled with our two daughters, ages 22 and 24. We arrived on an early international flight and the house manager was very accommodating, allowing us to drop our bags early. The location could not have been better, located on one of the most beautiful streets overlooking a canal. We all enjoyed drinking coffee in the family room together and taking in the view. The apartment was very clean, and had everything we needed. We would very much like to visit again soon!
