Fun adventure

My husband and I have stayed on two other houseboats in Amsterdam and this one has been our favorite. It is well laid-out and, besides the short ceiling in the second bedroom, perfect for our family. This is definitely a good choice for families with 2 or less kids. It is such an adventure to stay in a houseboat. This neighborhood is quiet and close to everything. There are grocery stores and pharmacies nearby. I only wish it had a washer/dryer. Then it would have been perfect.

wonderful location, unique experience

The location of the boat is perfect. What a unique experience staying on a boat on a canal! I loved watching other boats go by during the day, and people-watching. Many good restaurants within steps easy to get Ubers or ride a bike. Even though we stayed in January, heating wasn’t an issue; the boat was always warm and cozy.

Great location, felt like a local

The boat was in the best location. I'm not sure I would describe it as "luxury" but maybe more like "cozy". There were some cleanliness issues but overall it was perfect for my family. We enjoyed being in the hustle and bustle of the city. It was walking to distance to everything. We enjoyed just sitting on the upper enclosed deck and people watched. I would definitely stay here again.

Staying on this beautiful canal boat was amazing!

We loved the location of the boat. It is in the heart of everything, but not near anything overwhelming or crazy. This is the cutest area and we were surrounded by lovely bars and restaurants. Easy to get around the city from here. The houseboat itself was charming and well taken care of. Plenty of space and really cute. We loved it!

Quick trip to Amsterdam

We enjoyed our quick trip to Amsterdam and staying on a houseboat made it extra special. Great location. The houseboat was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The hosts were very responsive to any of our inquiries and were willing to help throughout our stay. We would recommend staying at the houseboat AZARA Amsterdam to anyone.

The only way to stay in Amsterdam

Great and unique stay. Much better than a typical hotel room or even a routine VRBO home. Coffee in the mornings on the stern watching the city come to life. Easy walks to all the best Amsterdam has to offer with the convenience of stopping back in mid day to relax. Drinks in the evening on deck watching the canal traffic float past you or friends over for dinner up top. I have been to Amsterdam over a dozen times, this was the most memorable. Hosts were easy and quick with any communication. Would recommend highly.

This houseboat is in a perfect location. Easy check-in, host were very accommodating. Close to restaurants including Winkel 43 which is known for delicious apple pies. The houseboat is spacious with a kitchen. We enjoyed having breakfast/drinks on the deck as we watched other boats go through the canal. Great experience!

Wonderful stay ...

We have been in Amsterdam many times, and always wondered what life would be like on a houseboat. It's wonderful. The place and the neighborhood both. Try to time your visit to take advantage of the Noordermarkt open market. As a note, the "second bedroom" has a low ceiling and is reached though the main bedroom, but the foldout lounge in the living room area proved to be very comfortable as an alternative. The bathroom is positively luxurious, which seems like magic given the setting!

Great experience and fun neighborhood

The houseboat was a fun experience in Amsterdam. It was beautiful inside and well appointed. The only downside was the towels were a bit threadbare, so new ones are definitely needed. Overall we loved staying here. Important to know that the houseboat is right next to a busy bar that is noisy until late at night. The neighborhood has lots of wonderful restaurants and fun shops so it’s a great place to be in the middle of the action, but if you need quiet for sleep, that might be an issue. This is a super unique rental and we loved it.

Nice, not luxury; generally overpriced

Maybe this is to be expected on a house boat, but every window had massive spider webs on the outside preventing us from opening them (brutal given no a/c), as did the picnic bench outside. Due to the cold fall weather, it was common to see decently sized spiders emerge at night. I imagine the locals are used to these, but I would have expected at least the webs to be cleaned before our arrival given the price and 'luxury' listing. Nothing about this is luxurious - it's a normal houseboat. Location is fine, not in Jordaan but close enough.

Excellent houseboat experience

We were very pleased with our stay in the houseboat. The neighborhood in particular was exceptional and the property managers were very responsive. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the spacious living room, but be advised the two bedrooms only have a curtain between them and the front one is too short to stand up in fully. Probably not ideal for two couples, but as a base of operations for a family on a trip to Amsterdam, I would recommend it!

We enjoyed ourselves, but...

We had a great time and it was a good place to stay, but the boat needs some TLC and an intense cleaning of all surfaces (cobwebs in every corner and on every lampshade, not a great look for the price point). The sheets and towels were very used, they should be replaced. Worst of all -- there was a constant unpleasant odor from the drains. So much so that we went out and bought scented candles and air freshener. There was a leak from one wall into the living room that was covered with flextape but still leaked. One of the faucets in the bathroom was loose and couldn't really be used. The vent over the bedroom in the bow was very drafty during freezing temperatures and my son came down with a cold likely as a result. But we got past all of that and enjoyed our stay because of the location. We are not picky travelers and understand when things go wrong, but all of this was preventable (and obvious) so it just seems like there wasn't any real genuine concern for the guest experience. "Luxury" is not a word I would use to describe the accommodations and it is priced too high, but we had fun regardless.
