    We had a fantastic time during our Amsterdam honeymoon stay at the B&B 1680 back in October 2011! We couldn’t believe how perfect its location was, and loved the bohemian look of the White Room and the romantic feel of the Black & White Room! Joost, Dennis and his mother were all very welcoming and hospitable. Although we arrived earlier than initially anticipated, there was no problem in leaving our luggage in the foyer, which gave us an opportunity to stroll the city at ease. We changed rooms half way through our stay, and were surprised by how quickly and efficiently the shift was made. When asked, they did not hesitate to sew a button on one of my favourite blouses. Breakfasts were rustic yet filling – who could ask for more? We absolutely enjoyed our time in Amsterdam, and would highly recommend B&B 1680 to any tourist! Thanks, Serafina & Rob

    We have just returned from a four night stay in the second floor Apartment, with friends taking the Black & White room on the first floor. Very central location and warm welcome from Dennis’ mother, Eugenie. The Apartment is a spacious ‘studio’; nicely equipped kitchen/dining area and en-suite bathroom; large sofa but only a rail and one shelf for clothes etc. Canal view but some noise from late night revellers; on the other hand there are no trams to wake you early in the morning. The Black & White room is quieter, being at the rear, with ample storage. Both rooms have multilingual TV and comfortable beds [we saw that the smaller White room at the front has a ‘futon’ bed on the floor]. Simple but plentiful breakfast trays of rolls, biscuits, fruit, orange juice and various teas and coffees; but you’ll need to get milk from a supermarket.

    Nice hosts!Nice location!

    We stayed for almost 7 days in the black and white room in Aug 10. In spite of being so close to the Red Light District, the room was quiet and peaceful. The hosts Joost and his mom were really helpful and friendly. From lending us an umbrella on a rainy morning (without even asking) to providing us info on what kind to cheese to buy for friends back home to helping us find the directions to Giethoorn, they were very gracious and warm. A sumptuous breakfast was kept outside the door every morning. We would definitely recommend this place to other travelers. Great place and we would surely stay here again when we visit Amsterdam next!Manisha and Ameya from Mumbai, India

    When I stayed at Joost & Dennis' beautiful and perfectly situated apartment, which includes not only a canal view front window next to the bed, but also an incredible lighting fixture, a long plank dining table, and a fully-functioning kitchen area, I felt like I was really living in Amsterdam—getting supplies at the local grocers and making meals, with an easy walk to everything I wanted to see and do. You'll be located less than a 10 minute walk from the train, 3 minutes to Dam Square, and just down the canal from the RLD. Don't be put off by being close to the RLD, as solo woman I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Though I didn't stay out late, as is my nature, the area—at least in February—was pretty quiet, with just a couple of late night hoots from partiers. This is perfectly central location, filled with average Amsterdamers and tourists alike, bikes bustle on the streets and swans swim in the canal in front of the building. Entering the building was always a joy with Dennis' elegant and artful design showcased in the entry level window. Although on the second level above the entry and faced with a traditionally Dutch narrow and steep staircase, do not fear. Dennis' mother was gracious and helped me navigate my luggage up to the flat. Bountiful breakfasts were brought up with an array of warmed breads, jams, fresh fruit, instant coffee/tea, and juice. Ample towels were provided fresh every day and the apartment was impeccably clean. I was able to connect my computer (though not my phone) to wifi. My only want was for a bit more shelf space in the bathroom for toiletries and soap. I would encourage you to consider this as your home while in Amsterdam, you cannot go wrong.
