Beautiful, central location

The boat was very clean and close to bus/ tram routes, and coffee shops. Mofadja was quick to answer any questions, and provided a lot of info before arriving. Totally unique experience staying on the boat!

The best stay in Amsterdam

In a quiet area which was incredible to get away from the city. A quick Uber to downtown. The boat is shared with the host so mid-day noise but is totally fine. Was incredible, showed up to a bottle of wine to sip on the deck of the boat. 1000000% book this.

Amazing, Authentic Amsterdam Experience

We absolutely loved our stay on this houseboat! It’s much bigger than it looks and the host was kind enough to provide us with a bottle of wine. The location is a much quieter area that is about a 15 minute tram ride into the center of Amsterdam so it was nice to escape the bustling city at night with the option of restaurants and shops still nearby. Overall, highly recommend if you are able to!

Pleasant stay on the water in Amsterdam.

Beautiful 2-level space located within the bow of the family home (a small ship). One’s quarters are completely separate from the vessel’s full time occupants. The space is modern and clean, with wide open views over the river IJ. I biked there, multiple times back and forth to the city center. Pleasantly located away from the crowds, but an easy bike to the Central Station and main Canal Districts. Bike rack just onshore. Guest must be able to navigate spiral staircase connecting upper & lower level, accept the subtle movement of the vessel, and be happy to warm the space as needed with the space heater provided, which worked very well to make a comfy space on the water. Suitable for 1 or 2 guests. Host is very professional and responsive.

Eine tolle Nacht auf dem Hausboot

Der Aufenthalt war wunderbar! Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und alles war ganz toll vorbereitet. Das Schiff liegt etwas 15 Minuten mit der Bahn vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt. Man kann auch einen ausgedehnten Spaziergang bis zur Innenstadt machen - kein Problem! Die Gastgeberin hat uns noch richtig gute Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt in Amsterdam gegeben. Wir kommen mit Sicherheit wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Mofadja

Host profile image
Your condo is on the front of our ship and it's very private. But we like to interact with our guests and are always available for questions or recommendations. We live on our boat with our three boys and our dog.

Why they chose this property

The Eastern Harbour District is truly unique. It's part of the center of Amsterdam, but the area is very quiet. The architecture is beautiful. And there are many great restaurants and bars.

What makes this property unique

On the outside it looks like a classic ship, but on the inside it's a modern and luxurious house. Check the photo's, but it's even better in real live.
