About this property

My houseboat is a lovely, quiet and comfortable place to stay in Amsterdam, close to Carré Theater, Hermitage, Hortus Botanicus, Artis Zoo, and lots of other famous tourist places and last but not least the Amstel river. Enjoy Amsterdam from within!

The houseboat consists of a tastefull bedroom, a modern bathroom, a luxurious kitchen and a warm, comfortable living room with a beautifull canal view. (Officially the rental space is limited to the bedroom and bathroom). Enjoy the view and lovely atmosphere in the quiet historic neighbourhood!

My place is a very stable, solidly constructed and well maintained houseboat. I like to share my boat with guests from all over the world, because it's such a unique and typical Amsterdam way of living.

A great experience

What a treat to stay on this houseboat on the canal. The early mornings and evenings were especially calm and peaceful. It was definitely a great way to experience Amsterdam. In addition, the host was wonderful, it’s a short walk to public transit, plenty of places to eat nearby, or you may just decide to sit on the deck and watch the world go by.

Fall vacation in Amsterdam

Houseboat is in a wonderful location, nicely appointed, clean, and comfortable. My only comment is that the heating system could use some simple directions to help guests, although it is possible that I simply didn't find them. Overall, wonderful stay! Bill

Great location and super unique!

My father and I stayed for a couple nights to end our European tour and it was lovely. Check in was a breeze and communication during the process was excellent. Short walk to public transit, museums, city center. Sitting out in the terrace with my dad watching boats go by was so enjoyable!

Can’t beat staying on a houseboat!

What a special experience for our family to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam! Easy check in, great communication with the host, beautiful house that was cozy but so well set up for a small space. Primary bedroom was very comfortable, and our girls (5 and 9) loved the pull out couch and waving to passing boats. Would 100% 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.

Great location, good host!

The location for this houseboat couldn't be better. It's close to transit and many great sightseeing locations, but it's on a side canal so it's still relatively secluded and quiet. The houseboat itself is very modern and well-maintained. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Great location on the canal

'We are seniors well into our 70's and 80's. Our stay in this splendid houseboat was exactly what we were hoping for. Comfortable house, convenient location, convenient public transportation, and a canal that provided daily enjoyable boat-watching. Our host was very responsive..meeting us at our arrival and answering questions during our stay.
