Home-sitting à Amsterdam

Besoin et animaux

3 Chats

We have 3 cats; a 16 year old brother and sister and a 10 year old female.
The two older cats, Teitur & Bjalla, are very friendly, they warm up to new people quickly and love cuddles and pets. The youngest cat, Lína, is more skittish and needs time to get to know new people. She is very curious and loves to play.
They are all indoor cats and we have an automated litter box (litter robot) so no scooping necessary. The bag needs to be emptied once a day. They have access to dry food all day and get a can of wet food in the evening.
The cats are not used to children or other animals.

Logement

Bright and roomy apartment in the south of Amsterdam, with recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms. It's located in a quiet, safe neighborhood with nice parks and outside of the main tourist areas.

There is a supermarket right across the street where you can find all the essentials. Within a 15 minute walk are butcher shops, bakeries, fruit vendors, dry cleaner, cheese stores, large supermarkets and multiple restaurants.

There is only paid parking available in the neighborhood (and in almost all of Amsterdam). It's generally easier to get around using public transport than a car.

Tourisme et loisirs

Amsterdam is a great city with countless attractions and restaurants. Despite the multiple points of interest it is surprisingly small and has a good transport system of buses, trams, metros and trains so getting around is quite easy. You can use credit/debit cards to check in and out of public transport systems.

There is a bus stop around the corner from the apartment that takes about 10 minutes to get to Amsterdam Zuid train station. This station offers great connections to take day trips to other cities, such as Den Haag, Utrecht or Haarlem from the Zuid station. It takes about 30 minutes to get from Schiphol airport to our apartment by public transport, or around 15 minutes by taxi.

We stayed at Ernir's and Hrefna's home in Amsterdam and it was a great experience. Hrefna and Ernir are wonderful people, very open minded and great to be around. They welcomed us with open arms and took us out for dinner, explained everything, gave us great tipps for Amsterdam. The flat was spotless, very clean and with great appliances. And the most important: We really enjoyed our time with the cats. They love cuddles and being petted and are so easy to care for. They really grew on us during our stay and we miss them a lot. Thank you very much, Hrefna and Ernir, for giving us this great experience!

I had a wonderful time in this green part of Amsterdam. The apartment is very tidy, bright and well organized. The cats are very easy to take care of. The communication was really easy going. So … I had a great time (and yes the beautiful weather was helpful)

It was my first visit to Amsterdam and I had such a wonderful stay at Hrefna and Ernir's home. Teitur, Bjalla and Lína have the greenest eyes I've ever seen and it was a joy to have them around and welcoming me after sightseeing. I went to art galleries, Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, to a concert in Begijnhof, sailing with Eco boats and walked by the rivers. Hrefna and Ernir are very welcoming couple and they thought of everything, which made it easy for me to take care of the cats and enjoy staying there. They told me (because I’m a cinema fan) about an old charming movie theater, Koninklijk Theater Tuschinski, a hidden gem, that was a pure experience to visit with it’s Art deco decorations and luxury seats. Thank you for trusting me.
