The host met us at check in with ample details. The stay was very clean and the host communicated well. We used the kitchen near daily for breakfast and did a load of laundry. Very convenient to the tram. We got multi- day passes which we made great use of. Plenty of eateries nearby and a couple of markets.

Perfect location for our family of four. Two minute walk to tram. Three minute walk to the bus stop. Both the sofa bed and queen size bed are very comfortable. Kitchen area is small but sufficient for prepping and cooking meals. Canal boat traffic is very quiet and a unique way to observe the charm of Amsterdam right outside our window. Would definitely recommend staying here to enjoy the sights, yet stay in a quieter neighborhood. Extremely close to variety of restaurants and a major grocery store!

Amazing experience, so glad we chose thia over a hotel room. Small but ultra-efficient use of space, and we had EVERYTHING we could possibly need. Had a very enjoyable stay, with swans coming to our window every day. Responsive and friendly host.

The houseboat was the best experience for my family. It was close to transport and groceries. My family thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We even got to sit in the back porch that faced the canal.

Lovely spot on the canal

We enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. While small, it had everything we needed and was close to tram and bus stops while being away from the touristy areas. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. Thank you.

a slice of Amsterdam

This was a lovely stay - we arrived and were greeted by swans at the window. It felt like we were part of the community - It was quiet yet close to - public transportation. The place was clean and well equipped - I was traveling with my adult boys and it was great for a first peak at the lovely Amsterdm.

Magical Spot

Nice, convenient location with places to eat and drink right down the street. Easy access to trams and 20 minutes to museums or the red lights district. Big window out to the canal! Ducks and swans visited every morning. I definitely recommend this little houseboat.

Great Amsterdam Experience

Our stay was wonderful. Nice to get away from the business of the city center and not be too far away. The house boat is a great way to experience Amsterdam with kids. It has everything you need to be comfortable and stores, restaurants are conveniently close. Hostess was responsive and fun to meet! Thank you!!
