Beautiful Apartment in Amsterdam

November 05, 2015 by Anna Keski-Kohtamäki in Travel, Style, Friends

Last February Hertta & I travelled to Amsterdam to visit my old and dear friend Maikki. Maikki studied Fashion Merchandise Management in London and is currently working in Amsterdam. It was quite difficult to find an apartment to rent in Amsterdam so Maikki decided to buy one at the Oud-West area.

At the moment I am again in Amsterdam and staying with Maikki for three weeks.

I just fell in love with Maikki's apartment and I see why she ended up buying this one. The building is really narrow as they are in Holland. The house was built in 1906. There are four apartments in this building.

There are 57 m² that covers two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room and a living room. Top it all off there are two balconies and big windows.

I remember Maikki had a great sense for style and interior decorations when we were younger. Her first apartment in Töölö was unique and characteristic. Then she moved to London, there I never went to visit her but when she moved to Zürich for work I stayed with her. Her apartment was beautiful and she had the same Marimekko curtains Carrie Bradshaw had in her apartment in Sex and the City. But this apartment in Amsterdam is way more nicer than the ones before. She also lived in Hong Kong but there I never visited (though we went to Kuala Lumpur together at that time).

I still have 1,5 weeks to enjoy this beautiful apartment and the lovely company of Maikki. Oh, and I also just love Amsterdam, I could see myself living in here.

Amsterdam - Any tips?

February 15, 2015 by Anna Keski-Kohtamäki in Travel

Amsterdam, vinkkejä? - Suomenkielinen käännös löytyy alta.

I have visited Amsterdam and Rotterdam once in July 2010. Now it is time to travel there again as my friend Maikki is living and working there at the moment.

I am going to travel with Hertta & Marina. Among Maikki, Marina will be a good guide for us as she has lived there before. We are going to stay in Jordaan which I remember to be a nice neighborhood.

De Belhamel is one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam.

Our plan is to rent bicycles, eat well and go to some art exhibitions. Shopping is prohibited for me as I did that a lot in Barcelona in January. But maybe if there are some nice second hand and vintage boutiques I would like to go. Do you know any good ones?

I wrote about Amsterdam and Rotterdam onto my old blog Koemaistaja, you may read the posts here (in Finnish though):

  • Makuja Amsterdamissa
  • Häähumua Rotterdamissa.

Our flight to Amsterdam is on 18 February 2015. If you have any tips, please do tell us. Thank you!


Amsterdam, vinkkejä?

Edellisestä Damin reissusta onkin jo vierähtänyt 4,5 vuotta. Ystäväni Maikki muutti viime syksynä tähän kanaalien ja polkupyörien kaupunkiin, joten tuli oiva tilaisuus lähteä reissuun. Mukaan pakkaan kaksi ystävää Hertan ja Marinan. Luvassa hyvää ruokaa, pyöräilyä ja taidetta.

Lennämme 18.2.2015, joten jos sinulla on reissuvinkkejä, niin lähetäthän niitä meille. Kiitos!
