About this property

Cosy private apartment in the heart of Jordaan district

The cosy room with African decorations is situated in the downstairs guest apartment of a townhouse build in 1712, located in the heart of the old city centre 'De Jordaan'.
The bedroom, situated in the basement, has a comfortable queen size bed and is surrounded by African beads. The small bathroom (shower and sink) is situated ensuite, the private toilet is located outside the room a few steps higher on the split level next to the kitchen.

The spacious living/dining/business area is the perfect place for our guests to sit down and relax, drink a fresh coffee, watch television, grab a book from the big library cupboard or make use of the fast speed WIFI to get some work done.

Please note that you'll be sharing the same entrance with the home owners, who live in the fully equipped top apartment.

To get an idea how guests experience the shared accommodation please read the following review:
"The hosts do live in the home and somewhere strike the perfect balance of providing complete privacy as well as being available should you need recommendations or assistance."

Due to the different split levels the apartment is not suitable for guests who have difficulties climbing stairs!

Guests can fully enjoy the downstairs living area and kitchen.

Use of the kitchen: our policy is as follows:
Cooking full meals: sorry!
Heating up meals in the microwave: absolutely!
Preparing cold breakfast (sandwich etc): sure!
Using the stove/oven: nope!
Fridge/freezer space: limited!
Coffee or tea facilities: complementary!
Guests staying longer than a week: full use of the kitchen!
Other requests: can be discussed in person or upon arrival!

No breakfast is served by the owners, but you can either make a simple breakfast yourself or choose to go to one of the breakfast places around the corner.

USB ports to charge your phone are available in the bedroom, no adaptor needed!

COVID 19 protocol:
We’re committed to an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed in partnership with experts in health and hospitality. Here’s what we’ve done to clean and sanitize the space:
We use cleaners and disinfectants, approved by global health agencies.
We cleaned, mopped and/or dusted before sanitizing.
All high-touch surfaces have been sanitized, down to the doorknob.
Each room was cleaned using extensive cleaning checklists.
We provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay if you want to.
On top of that:
We do have a smart lock with a keypad or access via the Danalock app on your smartphone
We’ll practice social distancing with guests, and encourage you to
do the same. In stead of handshakes or hugging, we’ll consider alternative no-contact greetings.
We have a 12 hour period between rentals. This waiting period is for your protection and helps to ventilate the room, to limit your exposure to aerosolized virus droplets that may be in the room.
So as you can see we took all precautions to make sure your stay at the African Lily is Covid 19 proof and as enjoyable as it can be.

When you have a cat allergy, don’t book! The home owners have a cat.

Perfect location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the African Lily. It was in a great neighborhood only a moments walk away from the busy areas of the city. Both hosts were great to chat with, informative, and easily accessible if needed. The home is a great layout, with everything you may need to enjoy your stay. We plan to visit Amsterdam again, and will definitely be staying there again!

Beautiful flat with great kitchen
This is a very special place in central Amsterdam. The neighborhood is safe. The flat has numerous special design considerations that reflect the artistic interests of the owners. We loved it! The kitchen is fully-featured and includes concrete counter tops and a six-burner gas oven.

Best Vrbo experience …
Ellen was a wonderful host. Very helpful with directions, arranging airport car services. The place was spotless and very quiet. Will definitely stay here again. The Jardeen district is so peaceful yet, close enough to paint the town ‘Red’ if you’re into that. Thank you Ellen!!

Stunning apartment, charming owners
Ellen and Caeser were so kind and excellent hosts. Would definitely stay again if we were in town! Close to everything and out of the hustle and bustle which is amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Nagtzaam

Host profile image
My name is Ellen Nagtzaam and I will be your host (together with my partner Caesar) in the African Lily. We have opened our door of the beautiful townhouse in April 2018 and business is going really well since. We are picking up a lot of guests so far and the first responses are really good (all 5 star reviews!) I am not new in the hospitality industry though, I have been working in the hotel business for many years and used to run my own bed and breakfast in South Africa, which explains all the African decorations in our Amsterdam location.

Why they chose this property

'De Jordaan' is a perfect place to live like the 'Amsterdammers' do. It's a very social district, where everybody seems to get along with each other. The meeting point of the locals is across the street at Café De Nieuwe Lelie, where breakfast is served from 10 am and the last drink will be served around 2 in the morning. The pubs, musea (The Anne Frank house is just a 5 min walk), shopping district and the nightlife are all around the corner.
