Bottom Line

A boutique canal house in the heart of Amsterdam, the mid-range Petit Prince rents out two fully serviced apartments. There's no communal space, lobby, or facilities of any kind, but it's an ideal choice for travelers who want to live like a local with additional services. The apartment's large windows overlook one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after views: canals in the famous Nine Streets neighborhood. The great location is walking distance of many of the city's major attractions, including Dam Square and the Anne Frank house. Though guests are largely left to themselves, breakfast items are included in the stocked kitchens, augmented by the host's homemade pies and quiches.

Petit Prince

Scene

Luxurious local living above a photogenic canal

The Petit Prince sits at the intersection of Prinsengracht and Reestraat, along one of the most photographed stretches of canal in Amsterdam. Historic canal houses, tiny boutique shops, and cafes line the picturesque cobbled street outside. An unassuming black door leads into a plain hallway, with no lobby or reception, only a steep narrow staircase that leads up into the two beautifully restored apartments above. The property draws tourists wanting self-catering facilities, business travelers, and other long-term visitors who want to live like a local.

Location

On a picturesque road overlooking a canal in the city center

Located in the Negen Straatjes (Nine Streets) neighborhood in the Canal Ring, the Petit Prince is walking distance to most of Amsterdam's major attractions. It's in one of the city's most picturesque areas, full of shops, restaurants, and centuries-old buildings. The Anne Frank House, Madame Tussauds, and Dam Square are all within easy walking distance. The Westermarkt train station is just a three-minute walk up Prinsengracht, and Centraal Station is a short six-minute tram ride from there. Schiphol Amsterdam Airport takes about 20 minutes to reach by car or 45 minutes on public transportation.

Rooms

Two apartments with full kitchens and stunning canal views

The Petit Prince's two hardwood-floor apartments have open layouts with full kitchens. Beautiful living rooms have fireplaces beside big windows overlooking the canal below. The second floor apartment has a balcony and a lighter neutral color palette, while the third floor has a darker style with exposed beams painted black. The third-floor unit is the larger of the two, with a small rooftop terrace and an open staircase that leads to a mezzanine-level bedroom with a vaulted ceiling. Interior design books and vases of fresh flowers complement the modern decor, as do faux-fur throw pillows piled in the bright, cozy living areas. Fully equipped kitchens have small refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, and Nespresso coffeemakers. All come stocked with breakfast items and snacks. The bathrooms have hairdryers, magnifying mirrors, heated floors and walk-in rainfall showers.
