Because we're traveling with our family, we're looking for someone to live in our apartment for 4–6 months and take care of it*. (*Think: emptying the mailbox, keeping the apartment warm and dry, watering the plants—and most importantly, enjoying the apartment and the neighborhood!) ✨ About the apartment • 75 m2 with lots of light and windows • 2 bedrooms: one with a king-size bed, one with a bunk bed (photo coming soon) • 2 balconies + shared backyard with picnic tables, toys, and a trampoline • Comfortable, zen atmosphere • Professional home office (Herman Miller office chair, electric sit/stand desk, widescreen monitor) My wife and I have lived here for almost 10 years and enjoy the sunlight and greenery outside all the windows, as well as the various parks and beautiful walks. 🌿Location & Neighborhood Our apartment is located in a beautiful, green, and family-friendly neighborhood. Within a 5-minute walk, you'll find yourself in various parks (Beatrixpark, Amstelpark, and the Amstel River) or on the charming Maasstraat with its authentic shops, trendy restaurants, and cafés. Do you enjoy sports? Walking, running, cycling, rowing, or swimming are all just around the corner. Gyms, parks, cycle routes, and the Miranda swimming pool are all within a 5-minute walk, as are playgrounds and a petting zoo. Within 15 minutes, you can even stroll through the countryside with its windmills, farms, and the Amstel River. For a more lively experience, you can cycle to De Pijp or the city center in 10 minutes. You can also reach the city center by tram, metro, or train (RAI station is just around the corner). 🚲 Tip: The best way to explore Amsterdam is by bike. You can rent a bike at the station (€4.45/day), or use one of our bikes...

At HousingAnywhere, in-person viewings are not supported — so everyone has an equal chance to rent, no matter where you are in the world. To help you make an informed decision, we recommend:
Use the ‘Message landlord’ button to start a secure conversation on our platform. You can ask questions, discuss terms, and safely exchange documents.
Keeping your conversation on HousingAnywhere protects your privacy and helps you avoid scams. All your messages are also saved in one place for easy access and as a record of your agreements.
Once your rental is confirmed, we’ll share the landlord’s contact info so you can arrange your move-in.
Tenant Protection is our service to help you rent with peace of mind. We hold all payments you make through our platform before move-in, including the first month's rent and any deposit. After you arrive, you have 48 hours to check that the place is as you expected. We only send your money to the landlord if everything is okay.
Watch this short video to see all the ways we keep you safe, from secure payments to support with finding a new place. For more details, you can also read about Tenant Protection.
