My home at Balthazar Floriszstraat 5-3 has been my trusted home for eight years, from my student days to my life as a full-time worker. The apartment offers a perfect balance between urban vibrancy and the tranquility I seek. The Roof terrace is my sanctuary—an oasis of calm where I can spend hours, while the spacious living room with original details and a beautiful view of the city give the home a unique character.
The neighborhood has the best of both worlds: quiet living, close to Vondelpark and Museumplein, while the bustling Pijp and the boutiques on Van Baerlestraat are within walking distance. With several tram stops just a minute away, the city is always within reach. Favorite places in the neighborhood? Café Wildschut, where I enjoy the sun with a drink, and Cafecito for a delicious coffee.
What I will miss most are the sunny moments on the Roof terrace the unique combination of tranquility and liveliness that this house offers me—it feels like a special home.

It attracts a mixed crowd and has been a household name among Amsterdammers for decades. You can also come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Café Loetje
In 1977, Café Loetje was established as a billiards café by Ludwig 'Loetje' Klinkhamer, but it wasn't long before they traded the billiards for the tenderloin steak that was served. More than forty years later, Loetje is a huge chain, and the original 'Café' is a household name in Amsterdam. The tasty steak is served with homemade fries and fresh gravy - it's finger-licking good!

Boss bike
Sjefietshe is a cevicheria in the center of De Pijp, with a beautiful terrace offering plenty of space. For anyone unfamiliar with this delicious South American dish: the classic Peruvian appetizer consists of raw (white) fish that has been "cooked" in lime juice. The dish is served with chili, cilantro, red onion, and an ocean of lime. An overwhelming taste sensation and therefore difficult to match. Sjefietshe makes a good attempt and creates its own version with Amsterdam flair. In addition to ceviches with different types of fish, there is also the option to enjoy tasty bites, including the Sjefietshe special: their own invention, the 'hot dog octopus'. Enough reasons to stop by and decide for yourself whether the restaurant succeeds in transporting you to higher South American spheres!
