I make YouTube videos about travel around Europe and I live in Amsterdam so it's exciting that I share more detailed information with you on this easy-to-use platform.

Amsterdam The Crane by YAYS

@awanderlustforlife

This super unique apartment is on KNSM island just east of Amsterdam Central Station. It has 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a kitchen. If you can climb ladder-type stairs, the second bedroom is a crazy experience! And it has a hidden toilet so you don't have to go down ladder-steps in the middle of the night...but you better be cozy with your roommate for it!

You'll find this crane in Amsterdam Noord in the NDSM neighborhood (the one with all the street art). It's 3 suites on top of each other with a hot tub on top. Each have their own eclectic style.

Classic Amsterdam canal houses are turned into this lovely hotel. With canal views and a great bar and restaurant, it's impossible to go wrong here.

SWEETS hotel Amstelschutsluis

@awanderlustforlife

SPLURGE ON THIS! If you can, stay here. It will be one of, if not, the most unique and romantic stays you'll experience. It's in the middle of the Amstel river and a boat captain drops you off. It's insanely amazing.

Hotel de Windketel

@awanderlustforlife

Next to Westerpark, you'll find this little apartment among regular apartments. So even though it's a unique place to stay, it's in a very local spot, which, in itself, is quite a unique experience.
