After making the first payment, you can schedule your own check-in appointment. During the check-in you will be welcomed at the reception by the receptionist. He or she will hand you the key so you can go directly to your studio.
Do you have any questions about the studio? Then the duty manager will be happy to answer them.
Please bring your identification (passport/ID card/driver's license) documents with you to the check-in.
The studio needs to be clean and tidy after you leave. Therefore, it is important to do a thorough cleaning. If you do not do this and a professional cleaning of the studio is needed, you will be charged a cleaning fee or part of the deposit will be withheld.
Is something broken in the studio? Then submit a repair request in advance so the duty manager can fix it before your departure.
Please take all your personal belongings and other items with you and leave the studio in the same condition as it was delivered to you.
Please take the kitchen, bathroom and linen package with you. Would you like to donate your linen package? Then you can drop it off at the textile container (you will find a textile container at the Spaarndammerstraat 145).
The latest check out time is 11:00 on the end date of your contract. Of course you can check out earlier than the last date, but this does not affect the monthly costs.
You have to hand in the keys of the studio at the reception, so that the location manager knows that you have checked out.
You have paid a deposit for your studio. Before you get it back, we will settle the outstanding costs. This can be payment arrears or costs for repairs to the studio.
We will refund (the remainder of) the deposit 1 month after the end of the contract.
We will also stop the direct debit.

Costs for washing and drying are 3 euros. To make sure there is enough space for everyone to use the washing and drying machines, please note that:
- You use one washing or drying machine at a time.
- You get your laundry out of the machines as soon as it's ready. Tip: set your alarm!
- You don't leave any bags or baskets behind in the laundromat.
By thinking of your neighbors, you will receive good karma points and probably make some friends too. ;)
Everyone enjoys their well-deserved sleep, and a fire alarm is not the best way to wake up. Therefore, think of your neighbors if you are cooking or producing other types of smoke that are not allowed. Should you smoke, this is only allowed in the smoking area of the garden. Save yourself from setting off the alarm and getting a fine.
The building has a private dining room. It can be reserved via the reception. The space can be used during the week until 21:45, and on Friday and Saturday until 23:45.
Bulky waste includes large items that don't fit in the container, such as electrical goods, appliances and furniture. Please note: large cardboard boxes belong in the container marked 'papier' or can be disposed at a Waste Collection Point ('Afvalpunt') free of charge.
Call 14 020 to make an appointment free of charge or bring your items to a Waste Collection Point ('Afvalpunt'): The Waste Collection Point for your neighborhood is Toetsenbordweg 41. For more information, see amsterdam.nl/waste.
Beware! If you don't follow the rules, you risk a fine of the municipality of at least €100,-. You can save a lot of money by disposing your waste in the container and placing bulky waste outside at the right moment.
The complex has an underground parking garage. The entrance to the parking garage is located on Archangelkade. Together with ParkBee, we ensure the parking rates are always lower than the parking rates on the street. Use the ParkBee app to open the parking garage.
The ParkBee app offers the option to pay per hour, per day or per month. Download the ParkBee app and follow the steps for more information about parking at Student Experience Amsterdam Minervahaven.
Let's clean things up nicely. Maybe you can make someone else happy with the stuff or clothing you don't use. That way, you are being sustainable. This is how you get rid of the waste after you've cleaned up. You can deposit the waste you have left, in the Recycling Room in the bicycle shed on the ground floor. We have press containers. Not sure how to use those? Here's how:
Step 1: Throw your garbage in the press container. Note: No cardboard or glass, the press container gets clogged as a result.
Step 2: Press the green button (not the one with the green light) on the left side (rear end) of the press container. Now the container is going to press your waste.
That's it! Now there's enough space for the garbage of your neighbors too! :)
