About this property

Pantheos Houseboat in Prinsengracht with a view of the Westerkerk the Landmark.

My houseboat when not rented out is my home. The boat has been in my family for more than 30 years and is located on one of the best spots down town in the Jordaan area. Everything is walking distance and the biggest +++ is the outside deck to enjoy all year long.
My houseboat has all mod cons.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location within walking distance to the city centre. Sadly, we had to cut our stay short so only stayed for 2 days but would definitely come back for a longer holiday.

Had an Amazing stay here! Franke was a great host & provided many special touches. In a convenient location, near the Anne Frank house. Lots of yummy food all around- there was a small grocery nearby-named JUMBO - where we purchased cheeses & pastries to munch on! We had such a wonderful time on our visit!

Perfect days on Amsterdam’s best canal

Perfect location, perfect place, only surpassed by a perfect host. My wife and I enjoyed this wonderful houseboat for 3 nights and had a great time. We loved sitting on the back deck while the tour boats went by and enjoyed feeding the ducks each night. We loved meeting Fake, the host and he could not have been more responsive to our needs. We hope to visit again!!

Amazing visit

We loved the houseboat we rented. The experience was unique and the location was perfect for us. We were close to Anne Frank House, shopping, and restaurants. Our host was amazing. We loved chatting with him! Hanging out on the houseboat balcony and watching the tour boats go by was our favorite thing to do! Fake

Just delightful

We’ve traveled to Amsterdam a dozen times, but this is the first for scoring a place on the water! Outstanding. Even in December, we sat on the stern of the boat every night. Location is perfect.

Amazing canal spot

We loved our stay in Fake's house boat. Cosy, and clean and exactly like the pictures. He met us himself to show us how everything worked. The location was amazing - right in/next to the nine neighbourhoods. Tons of great cafes, stores and Anne Frank museum right there. Would highly recommend and we would stay there in future!

Houseboat

We loved this. The houseboat is very well equipped and comfortable and the hosts left vases of daffodils, a huge fruit bowl (the ducks like grapes and pears, it seems) and said we should help ourselves to anything else. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Amsterdam

Magical Canal Houseboat Experience

The host for this fantastically located, beautifully adorned houseboat on the canal (approximately 500m from the Anne Frank House) is fabulously hospitable. We arrived with everything perfect including welcome drinks, snacks and fresh fruit to enjoy while we sat on the waterfront deck enjoying the energy and environment of Amsterdam. So grateful for this experience and will recommend to all we know.

Fantastic houseboat

Staying on Fake’s Houseboat was an incredible experience. The boat itself is extremely comfortable and has every conceivable convenience you could imagine. The location is perfect. Being able to sit on the back patio whilst watching the canal boats and ducks drifting by is a really unique experience. It’s a very relaxing way to spend a visit to Amsterdam. Fake is a great and accommodating host and I highly recommend his houseboat as a base for your Amsterdam vacation.

The Best "Boat-tel" in Amsterdam!

A dream come true on Fake's wonderful houseboat. It was all we expected and more: great canal location in Jordaan, four blocks to city center; cozy, comfortable, world-class record collection and superb bed. We stayed four nights; wished it had been forty! Fake was extremely accommodating and friendly; gave us all the information needed to enjoy his unique place. We loved Amsterdam and took several tours, and walked miles and miles to see everything. The boat has a delightful ambiance: working kitchen, balconies on the canal, strong, hot water and full shower, and eclectic wall pieces and fresh cut flowers. Highly recommend this boat for couples who want to live on and be part of the famous canals of Amsterdam....a block away from Ann Frank's home!

Dear Tom and Jane, Well a think you arrived home safely. Hown was Dublin? We had a good night out in Amsrterdam I enjoyed it. Tom keep me informed if Vreasy has reemburssed your money for the gourmet and beer and wine. I like to know what action they have taken. Take care and stay healthy both of you. Fake
