What this house means by a long stay
A long stay is any visit to Amsterdam measured in weeks or months rather than nights: a posting, a sabbatical, a research term or a season of remote work.
Most visitors to Amsterdam come for a weekend or a few nights. A long stay is the other kind of visit: four weeks, three months, half a year. The guest has a flat or a serviced apartment rather than a hotel room, a working routine rather than an itinerary, and time to book more than once.
Why the distinction matters
Nothing in the rates or rules changes because a stay is long. What changes is how a guest uses them. A long stay turns a single booking into a series, and a series raises questions a weekend never does: how often, at what lengths, planned ahead or decided on the day, and how the deposit reads across a calendar rather than a single evening. This site is written around those questions.
The typical shapes
Long stays come in a handful of recognisable forms. A project posting of two to six months, usually with fixed working days. A sabbatical or research term, with loose days and a lot of freedom. A remote-work season, where the flat doubles as the office. And a relocation that starts in temporary housing before a permanent lease. Each has its own rhythm, and the guides take them one at a time.
What stays the same
A long-stay guest books exactly as any other guest does. The rates come from the same matrix in every profile, the arrival window in central Amsterdam is the same forty to sixty minutes, and everyone present must be twenty-one or over. There are no packages, no subscriptions and no standing slots. Each booking is agreed on its own, however many came before it.
