Beautiful home, responsive host
We had a great stay in this lovely houseboat! It was as described! Peter and Nina were gracious, friendly, and communicative hosts. It was super easy to get around with public transportation, and it was so fun to stay on a house boat! It did seem the description said twin beds in the front room, when in fact it was a pullout couch queen bed, but that was easy enough for us to navigate in our group.

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.

Incredible stay in a cute and quiet area (with cats!)
My siblings and I stopped in Amsterdam on the way to Scotland (in order to bring my cats from the U.S.). This houseboat was the perfect situation for us. It was small, but cozy. Lovely to be on the canal! It was close to town walking and was also close to two main trams. The host was very accommodating and let us check in a bit early as I had two cats with me. The cats enjoyed the space and watching the ducks and coots through the open windows. We pulled out the sofa bed and the boys slept there while us girls shared the double bed. There is a train very nearby, but it was comforting to hear it like we were at our grandmother’s. The neighborhood was socially quiet, which was lovely at night. In addition, there is a very kind vet nearby (Joyce Hofman) who helped me with the cat’s travel papers. Their kindness and helpfulness was amazing!

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.

Quaint efficiency type apartment room aboard a large houseboat. I must have missed the check-in instructions which made finding the boat initially a bit tricky however the owner was quick to reply when contacted

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.

Magnifique séjour !
Merci beaucoup pour ce séjour. Nous avons passé un très beau moment à Amsterdam et cet hébergement avait tout ce qu'il fallait. Rendu aussi poétique par la jolie vue sur l'eau et les petits canards qui viennent rendre visite le matin. Tout était parfait!

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!!

Zeer verzorgde accommodatie in deel van woonboot nabij centrum Amsterdam
De ruimte is volledig ingericht, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Bijzonder geschikt voor een langer verblijf aan de rand van het echte centrum van Amsterdam. Woonboot is nabij de Dappertjesmarkt, Brouwerij 't IJ, Tropenmuseum en o.a. Artis. Ook voor een gezin is dit een prima verblijf. Denk wel om het open water met jonge kinderen. I.v.m. privacy vinden wij de boot minder geschikt voor 4 volwassenen... Tip: neem je fietsen mee en ga op twee wielen onze mooie hoofdstad verkennen. Neem dan ook eens een minder toeristische afslag en laat je verrassen!
