We had such a lovely time staying in Maartens accommodation. It was a perfect base for our weekend visit. The accommodation, itself, was clean and tidy and very comfortable - staying on a boat was a treat and the location perfect for all our needs - really close to central station and it felt like the whole of Amsterdam was on our doorstep. Thanks for the welcome, Maarten, and making it all so easy.
Maarten is a wonderful host and the location is really close to Centraal and the historic town. We loved our stay. It’s also really quiet which was lovely. Thank you Maarten.
Maarten's place was perfect for what we were looking for in Amsterdam. A houseboat and within walking distance to all the attractions. Maarten was extremely accommodating in our changing travel plans. I could not be happier and would highly recommend staying here.
Had a wonderful time staying here. Maarten is an extremely responsive host and easy to communicate with. The room was very clean and in an excellent location. Highly recommend!
Maarten was great to work with. The location was perfect and convenient to walk everywhere. The only thing that would have made the stay perfect, would be a bit of outdoor seating. Being able to sit outside and relax and watch boat traffic would have been wonderful. I’d stay here again.
Had a wonderful stay. Location is central, easy to walk or catch public transport. Host was spot on with recommendations and the view from the top of the Bibliothek was great!
Top notch! Great location within walking distance of Amsterdam Centraal Station. Room was very clean and quite comfortable. Perfect for a quick getaway to explore Amsterdam. Maarten was easy to communicate with and an absolute superhost. Glad we chose his B&B. Would definitely stay here again!
