    The bed was sooo comfy and the shower was fantastic. The apartment is in a really quiet location - pretty much silent at night - yet one street across/2 mins away you’ve got the cafes, bars and supermarkets. The street and neighborhood are just...

    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!

We love to live in this beautiful city: the old buildings, nice people, a lot of cultural festivals. One of my hobby's is rowing on the canals.

Within minutes you can walk to Utrecht’s main attractions such as the Dom Tower and several surprising musea like Centraal museum, Nijntje museum, Catharijne convent and the adventurous Railroad museum.
