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.

Amazing weekend in an amazing city and staying on a house boat made it all the more enjoyable. The house is well maintained and close enough to walk to great cafes, shops, and museums. We would definitely stay again. Albert was very helpful and an excellent host!

A wonderful central location, a nicely decorated house boat, and a lovely Amsterdam experience overall. Albert our host met us at check in. We appreciated the very well equipped kitchen (including spices, olive oil, espresso machine etc). A great bakery a few blocks away - Bakhuys. We’d love to come back.

Our host met us on the first day and kindly allowed us to leave our luggage before check-in, which we really appreciated. The location is very good—close to public transportation, a wonderful bakery, and several good cafés and restaurants.The houseboat’s outdoor area was great for enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and I imagine it would be even more enjoyable in warmer weather. The heating system and heated bathroom floor were a bit challenging to figure out, but we were comfortable throughout our stay. The WiFi also worked very well.Overall, we were happy with our stay. The only drawback was the construction directly across from the houseboat. A hotel is being built, and it appears to be a long-term project. The construction currently takes up much of the block, limiting access and requiring you to walk through a fenced-in area to reach the boat. At night, the area can feel a bit quiet and isolated.That said, traveling with my husband, we felt comfortable—and once on the boat, it was cozy and relaxing.

Albert is a wonderful communicator and has taken great care to pay attention to detail. The heated bathroom floors were one of our favorite details, but also the porch is a perfect slice of charm, the milk frother for the coffee is a lovely touch, the hidden tv (with Netflix), a great book of neighborhood suggestions…and the bed was very comfortable and large (which is a rare luxury in the area). We can’t wait to stay again next year.
