Perfect Amsterdam stay

Idyllic houseboat property near city center. The outdoor space at this houseboat is to die for. Everything was very comfortable and clean, including the bathroom and shower. The bed in the living room is a Murphy bed and very comfortable. The master bedroom is gorgeous. We were able to screencast our Netflix/HBO onto the Samsung TVs.

Memorable stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam

Our stay on the houseboat was a really enjoyable and unique experience! The boat itself was surprisingly comfortable, with ample space for our group. We particularly loved the novelty of living on the water. Despite being located near a major street, it was remarkably quiet and peaceful, which was a pleasant surprise. The location was also very convenient, offering easy access to local attractions. We're giving it 4 stars because while everything was great, there was room for a little more polish in terms of some minor amenities. Overall, a fantastic and memorable stay!

Amsterdam Houseboat

A very unique experience. The houseboat was comfortable and didn’t lack for any amenities. The location was perfect. Excellent restaurants less than 10 minute walk Museums and markets an easy 30 minute walk or a few minutes by Uber. Highly recommend this property.

Once in a lifetime experience

Where else can you stay in a houseboat in the middle of the city? It is definitely a fun adventure. A few things to know: if you or anyone in your group has mobility issues this place is not for you. Steep stairs. Also you are in the city. It isn’t quiet. The hosts kindly leave earplugs but we sleep with white noise so not an issue for us. The kitchen is more of a Kitchenette. Great storage for clothing given it’s a houseboat. Management was quick to respond to questions.

Canal boat experience

Booked this for a weekend as husband going to a conference. Tired of staying in expensive hotels we thought we would try a houseboat. The photos on the website were probably quite old as the property was tired: dirty grouting in the bathroom and tired looking sofa. It would be so much better if there were not wires crisscrossing lights etc everywhere. It is also next to a main road and a popular bar which were not mentioned. Having said that the novelty of staying in a boathouse beats overpriced hotels. The shower works and the bed was comfortable. Watching the world go by and feeding the moorhens from the outside platform was great. The boat was well sound proof so the noise from the bar didn’t disturb us much. All in all a good experience and would recommend - given the reasonable rate.

Fantastic experience ... fun and cool

We had a fantastic experience staying on the houseboat. It had everything we needed. When we had a small issue with a hair blower that had issues, Andrew was quick to get us a new one. We loved all the room. It was on a canal with little tour boats but more small boats people rented to tour the city so the traffic going by was fun as everyone waved. We enjoyed the small cafe 100 feet down for evening wine. Only one night did we hear some thumping from the late night music there. Andrew has a great summary of the area and we tried 4 of the cafes/restaurants recommended and they were awesome. The only thing I didn't realize from the pictures is that the boat is on a busy road. I was nervous about once realized but the boat sits down below and the morning and evening business commute noise not too bad. We loved the location ... just on the edge of the main tourist areas and less than two blocks to a Metro station to get around or 10 minutes down to the Central train station. Thank you, Andrew, for making one of the stops on our Europe trip truly unforgettable.

Very pleasant house boat and surprisingly quiet. Located quite near the center. The lodgings were clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay and can highly recommended this accommodation. I only wish we could have stayed longer to make use of the floating deck.

A great spot! Close to the metro and super easy to get to Central station. Near many restaurants and grocery stores. The houseboat is very comfortable and clean, the beds are very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The best part, each morning two Coots (black and white ducks) would come to the window asking for some breakfast, so we shared a croissant. We really enjoyed the stay! Thank you!!

Great spot

This was such a cool place. The accommodations were a little different than what was listed/shown, but super comfortable and worked fine for us. There’s a fridge, microwave, nespresso, toaster and kettle. And they left plenty of coffee pods for us! The dock is nice to hang on at night and passersby wave from their boats. Management is very responsive to emails and messaging via VRBO. I absolutely loved it here. It’s close to trams and Metro making public transportation easy and readily accessible.

Unique

Great location for us. It is just on the outskirts of the center which was good for us. If you want to be in the heart of it all then this is not the best spot for you. We loved the deck in the evening having a coffee or beer watching the boats go buy.The steps up and down could be tricky for old or young folks.Would certainly stay here again.

Fantastic Experience!

My wife and I truly enjoyed what was, for us, a first-ever experience of living aboard a houseboat. Like any new experience, we needed a bit of time to understand how everything worked. In short, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation and we appreciated Andrew's support and thoughtful suggestions and information when we asked for his local insights.

Easy access the both the metro and trams. There is a delight coffee shop/bakery a short stroll from the houseboat. There is a Lidl grocery store also near to the location. Because it was close to the train and tram we were able to get to any location easily.

Experience Amsterdam on a House Boat

House boat was incredible experience in Amsterdam. The location was excellent we were able to walk (within 30 Minutes) to all the museums, canal tours etc. The houseboat had plenty of room for us, and a nice coffee maker, which I really appreciated it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants the Amsterdam experience.

A lovely taste of Amsterdam

All in our party loved our stay houseboat was spacious and offered outside seating on front and rear of the boat. We enjoyed watching the passing boats and ducks and children paddling. We went for a drink next door at Amstel one evening and sat on the patio. Easy to access close by public transport to attractions and airport Beds very comfortable Definitely recommend as it was a relaxing enjoyable stay

Nice and Unique Place to Stay

The houseboat was great. I had questions beforehand, and the owner responded to them promptly. The second bedroom is definitely a bit small for another adult but the master is perfect. Located close enough to a few metro stations that I was about to get around quickly. I would definitely stay here again.

A Charming Canal Stay

We absolutely loved this wonderful boat! Not only we’re we able to enjoy the lovely canals of Amsterdam but we became a part of canal life! We had one issue (our fault) and it was addressed right away. The boat is strategically located to attractions and restaurants. We loved the city and we loved the boat!!!
