Your host has a lot of knowledge on where one can go, all depending if it needs to be a local, cultural experience or just for food and good music. It's all there you just have to make something good out of it.

About the host
Hosted by Edwin Mélotte
We are a multicultural family and enjoy living the city live of Amsterdam. As travellers ourselves we love to go out into Europe for nature or city vacation/trips. Lately we are discovering Eastern Europe which used to be a blindspot. We build our own Houseboat recently and enjoy sharing it with travellers. As an Art Historian i am familiar with the hotspots and cultural life to visit and my wife nows all about where to shop. Want to experience pure Amsterdam cultural life, just let us now.
Why they chose this property
Living on a Houseboat is unique in a busy city like Amsterdam. It provides lots of space and comfort as well as nice views over the water and a nice city garden. It gives you an all year of vacation-feeling compared to most homes because of the light surroundings and water. And for the location we have best of both worlds, just walk into town or take a bike into nature, and not having to much traffic in the direct surroundings.
What makes this property unique
Waterfront, musea and citylife all on a short walking distance away. Even swimming in the Canal if the watertemperature is OK in the summertime (july-aug-sept). Or bring a boat or rent a cannoo to make a fun day on the water. If you are into discovering what is so special about Amsterdam just let me know. Amsterdam Pur Sang
