The apartment was located in the middle of the old town. Easy walk to all attractions. We were able to do a canal tour and visit all museums and restaurants on foot. We were early, so the host let us check in an hour early. Loved the rooftop terrace. Bed was comfortable, and the apartment had most amenities. This is a great alternative to staying in Amsterdam.
We were not aware of the parking situation until a couple of days prior to checking in. The daily parking garage is a 15-minute walk away. It is difficult when you must bring your luggage. The host does send this info, but not until the day before check-in. It would have been nice to have a smart TV so we could use our streaming accounts. It did not have a toaster. There are no instructions on how to start the gas stove. Night time was noisy, as there is a shop where people gather, which is open until 3 am. Bring ear plugs. There is no information provided about attractions, so come prepared.

You sleep in the middle of the city centre with a beautiful view on the church. The appartement itself is perfectly cosy, and has everything you might need for your stay. If not, you walk downstairs and you are right in the shopping streets. At the café below you find great coffee and delicious food. The hosts are really kind and they make time for you to chat a bit. I would highly recommend staying at this bnb.
I didn't mind at all, but you do hear churchbells ringing once or twice a day. And I was warned about some noice from neighbouring clubs, but with earplugs I didn't hear a thing.

The flat was beautiful, clean, stunning decoration, wonderful little touches. Free good coffee, wine available to purchase if you wish. Owners were amazing. Lovely. Helpful .
Sorry to say but the new bar next door made it a night mare. Wednesday night loud music until 2am. Meant we couldn't sit in the front room as groups of people outside. Great if you are traveling and like night life but I was there with my daughter. Had the bar not been there we would have loved it . Also note. Very steep stairs. Difficult to get large suitcase up.

I had such a wonderful time in this apartment- everything was perfect . I felt very safe traveling here alone and was made to feel very welcome. The location was excellent and it was very convenient to drop off shopping or pick up a sweater. Alkmaar itself is wonderful, like a mini Amsterdam but without any of the bad parts. Already planning a return visit.

Location, apartment immaculate, comfortable. Loved sitting in the sun on the outdoor rooftop terrace. Bed was like sleeping in a cloud. Fantastic sleep. Loved listening to the chimes from the church at the back of the apartment.
The only thing missing and needs to have is a microwave to heat up food.

Excellent value for money, very cozy and clean place! Super nice service and many amenities, as it is in the center. I highly recommend it!
It is difficult to park as it is right in the center. But there are paid places around for parking very close to the accommodation.

The apartment doesn't feel like a holiday let, it's attention to detail makes it feel very homely. The bed was very comfy and all necessities are there! As it's only a 2 minute walk to the cheese market, it's right where everything is and happens! We loved the stay and Annemarie and Chris are wonderful hosts!

Great location (in the city centre in a lively street), nice interior, everything you need in the kitchen, lovely host, the greatest terrace of all. Would recommend
On the weekends the street is quite noisy and you will hear the people on the street during the night.
