There is a large grocery store (Albert Heijn) for your daily needs at the Kinkerstraat. There is also a full service laundry service (Wassalon Miela) close to the Houseboat-apartment at the Kinkerstraat.

The apartment is located in district "Oud West" (Old-West), a neighbourhood for anyone who wants to enjoy the bustling character of the city together with the locals. In recent years, the neighbourhood has become a popular neighbourhood among people in their twenties and thirties. The explanation is simple: "Oud West" has an endless amount of hip coffee shops and affordable tasty restaurants. The old tram depot of the district has been renamed "De Hallen" (The Hallen): a new hotspot in Amsterdam where you can eat and drink at one of the many street food stalls and where you can even go to the cinema. Monthly activities such as the "Local Goods Market" are organized here.

Here an example of the several walking tours:
This walking tour is for culture lovers who like to visit museums. The Museumplein is of course not to be missed during this route. In addition, you will see a lot of interesting architecture, both old and new. People who love good food will also get their money's worth at the countless cafes and restaurants on the "Overtoom" and in "the new Hallen". It is a long tour, which you can also do well by bike.

You start at the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum or the Stedelijk, all of which have been thoroughly renovated in recent years. At the Rijksmuseum, this may have yielded the most special result. In 80 rooms that have been beautifully renovated, you can immerse yourself in the history of our Dutch masters, with Rembrandt's Night Watch as the highlight.

Afterwards you can relax in the "Vondelpark", the most famous park in Amsterdam. You continue your way towards Oud-West and discover numerous creative companies that have settled here in recent years. In the "Kinkerbuurt" (Kinker neighbourhood) you will pass "De Hallen"(The Hallen), the newest cultural and culinary hotspot in the city. Since 2014, this former tram depot from the early 20th century has been home to stalls with tasty dishes: a perfect concept for a pleasant evening out with friends. These "Foodhallen" are the ideal stop for both large and small hunger.

The advantage of this Houseboat-Apartment is that it's situated in the heart of Amsterdam on walking distance from the most desired areas in the old town and close to most attractions, shops, restaurants and nightlife.

Perfect location, fun experience!
My husband and I had a lovely stay on the houseboat. It was a unique experience to get to stay on the canal while visiting Amsterdam for the first time. The location is perfect with everything you need a walk away. We also rented bikes, which was a kick and made getting around much quicker. The place was clean and well maintained. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

Great stay in a wonderful neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay on this comfortable houseboat in this quiet & conveniently located neighborhood! The property had everything we needed. It was missing a couple of amenities upon our arrival, but that was quickly remedied by the property manager. Communication with the property manager was fast & easy. She provided all the info we needed for a comforatble stay. Our only negative experience was that the deck was quite slippery as the algae on it hadn't been cleaned off & the rain made the algae very slick. We had to clean the deck ourselves to render it safe to walk on.

Oasis in the middle of town.
Our stay began with EARLY entry almost 7 hours early. We were able to get inside, hit the supermarket which was a quick walk from the place, take a nap before our preplanned dinner reservations. We blew the electric in the house by plugging in a US surge protector into a converter and into the wall. Management was over in a jiffy to fix it, then we blew the plumbing because it didn't reset with the electricity. The owner came over and fixed the plumbing went to his house and collected an adapter for the electricuty and we were all set, never had another issue the entire time we were there. All of our issues were resolved and a timely and efficient manner. The house boat is surprisingly comfortable, the spot next to the dining table was our perch the whole week. Watching the ducks, seagulls and swans come right up to the window as soon as you open the blinds is a lot of fun, we did end of feeding them on the last day. Sitting in the window and watching the water in the canal slowly go down stream is so tranquil. The kitchen and the bathroom is recently updated. There isn't a lot of air circulation so nothing dries in the bathroom, but the host left us loads of towels for the week, so it wasn't really a problem. The bed is hard and seems to be on 2 levels. The bedding was disappointing, not unclean, just minimal. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate recommending it.
