I stayed in this charming flat while visiting my daughter, who lives in Utrecht and is studying there. During my visit, she stayed with me so she could focus on studying before her midterm exams—and, of course, get a little spoiled by me! The flat was perfect for us: excellently located within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the city center, yet in a quiet and peaceful area. It was also an easy walk from the train station, which made getting around very convenient. The flat itself was impeccably clean, efficient, and well-heated, making it a cozy retreat. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the coffee, tea, and soft drinks provided by the owner. Additionally, there was good/easy communication with the owner. My daughter will be graduating with honors in May, and my husband and I will definitely try to book this flat again for our next visit—it’s a fantastic and convenient place to stay!
While my stay in this flat was overall very nice, there were a few minor drawbacks. Being on the ground floor meant keeping the blinds down for privacy, which made the space feel a bit enclosed at times. Thankfully, the weather was sunny, so we were able to keep them open as much as possible. The jacuzzi tub was out of service—not a big issue for me, but my daughter would have enjoyed using it. Additionally, there was limited storage for clothes, though we managed fine. Despite these small inconveniences, the flat was great.

The apartment is in a lovely old town house in a beautiful street. Well equipped, spacious and clean . There is a bus outside the door which goes to the station from where it’s easy to visit all the towns of The Netherlands . Utrecht is a wonderful city with everything you need, museums, canals , beautiful buildings, gardens and is full of life. There is a lovely bakery round the corner, 2 restaurants within 100 yds and supermarkets ten minutes away. The host Art is very friendly and helpful.

The property was immaculate, with beautiful hardwood floors, a comfortable bed, and a fully equipped kitchen. I wish I stayed longer. The host was also exceptionally welcoming.
The house seemed a bit old, and I could hear footsteps from the floor above. Additionally, there was some construction work next door, which led to early morning noise. However, this wasn’t a major issue as I was up early regardless.

Lovely ground floor apartment in peaceful location close to city facilities and attractions. Hosts were welcoming and helpful, coming quickly to assist when we rather foolishly locked our cash in the combination safe and couldn't get back in!
Would benefit from slightly better lighting in the kitchen/lounge area.

Apartment was spacious and very well presented. The location was quiet, but close to attractions in the beautiful old part of the city.
It would have been great if there had been a washing machine.

The location was excellent, a five minute walk to the tower. I loved the quiet street it was on. The owner greeted us and was super helpful, we did not need any assistance during the stay, but he lives upstairs and said to text him if needed. Coffee, tea , wine , chocolates on the bed, all the extras that make this place great.I used the jacuzzi tub and it works amazing.
No complaints at all.
