About this property

Modern yet cozy houseboat

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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!!

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 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.

Canal Living

The houseboat was perfect. It had everything we needed and more. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying canal life, coffee in the morning and wine at night. The houseboat is spacious, comfortable and beautiful. The area had a lot of energy during the day and was quiet at night. The host was very organized and responsive, and made our stay seamless.

Great Little Houseboat

Cozy and comfy houseboat with everything you need. The owner was very accommodating and maintained communication to you ensure we enjoyed our stay. We arrived on a Thursday and our first night was relaxing. However, party goers from Friday night lead to a 2am awakening to yelling and screaming on Saturday morning. We would still return here next time we're in Amsterdam.

Albert is the best host. He greeted us when we arrived with fresh tulips and showed us how everything worked. He helped us navigate the two biggest celebrations in Amsterdam. The houseboat is clean, very modern with all of the modern conveniences.... including heated bathroom floors. We will be back again.
