An amazing stay in Amsterdam! Within close walking distance of much you’ll want to see but in much quieter part of the city. Cozy but plenty of room and fully equipped with anything you could need. The host was friendly and communicative before and during the stay! Would absolutely stay again!

Houseboats do not all have an outside decking or a good view. This houseboat had both. A nice view of a nearby bridge and some boat traffic to watch. Warm and cosy , the aircon was needed on some days and was very effective. A lovely kitchen setup , very well equipped. Good sitting room with good size tv. And bedroom quiet and comfortable.

A wonderful central location, a nicely decorated house boat, and a lovely Amsterdam experience overall. Albert our host met us at check in. We appreciated the very well equipped kitchen (including spices, olive oil, espresso machine etc). A great bakery a few blocks away - Bakhuys. We’d love to come back.

The house boat is a floating oasis of quiet and comfort in a very busy city. Very private. Every day, after exploring the beauty of Amsterdam we would return to our boat and relax with the canal to entertain us - birds, boats, jumping fish. The place was well equipped and very comfortable, warm and relaxing, great bed and nice linens, hot shower. The outdoor patio was a bonus. We loved it. Highly recommend!

Perfect Amsterdam Canal Experience

The stay on the houseboat was perfect start to finish for us. The boat has all your needs covered. And the location was great. Right in a central location easily accessible to many great neighborhoods. We would definitely stay here again.
