Amsterdam massages in the Jordaan, in canal-house rooms and narrow streets
The Jordaan is where many returning visitors choose to stay: narrow canals, small bridges, a church tower over the rooftops and rented rooms in houses three centuries old. It is also a district that asks a little more of an evening booking.
While you read
Nothing here asks you to decide anything. The whole page can be read and left alone.
Amsterdam massages in the Jordaan take place in some of the older rooms in the city. The district west of the canal ring was built for workers and craftsmen in the seventeenth century, and its narrow houses along the Bloemgracht, the Egelantiersgracht and the Lindengracht now hold small hotels, guesthouses and a great many rented apartments. Travellers who know Amsterdam often prefer it to the grander canals, because the evenings are quieter and the streets feel lived in.
Finding the right door in the Jordaan
Jordaan addresses can be confusing after dark. Several flats often share one street door, the house numbers carry letters or additions, and the staircase behind the door may be the steepest you have climbed in years. Give the full address exactly as it is written, say which bell to ring and which floor you are on, and describe the second door if there is one. The note on steep stairs and second doors explains why these details help.
Warmth in old houses
Jordaan houses have thin walls, tall windows and heating that takes its time. Turn it up well ahead of the agreed hour, close the curtains and keep the room free of draughts. In winter, a rented flat on an upper floor can feel cold until the radiators have been on for an hour.
How Amsterdam massages in the Jordaan are arranged
The arrangement is the same as anywhere in central Amsterdam: a written message with the address, the hour and the length, a reply naming who is free, and a knock forty to sixty minutes after you confirm. The fee is the one printed on every profile on the roster, and nothing is added for the stairs or the evening. Rented apartments need the additional care described on the page about holiday rentals.
Evenings in the district
The Jordaan comes alive in the early evening, when the small cafés on its corners fill and the market square by the church empties. By ten the lanes are quiet again, and that is when most bookings here are made. Neighbours in these houses live close together, so keep the stairwell quiet when you go down to open the door.
Which length suits a canal-house room
Rooms in the Jordaan are often small, with the bed close to the walls. Mention it in the thread; she can work around most beds. A length of ninety minutes suits these rooms well, long enough for an unhurried session without the pauses that a larger room makes comfortable.
