The perfect Amsterdam experience
This houseboat is a dream! It's on a quiet canal, yet it's only minutes from anything you could want to do. The views are stunning and the bedrooms are comfortable. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience.

Wonderful location in Amsterdam
We stayed here for 4 nights in July. It’s a wonderful location and we loved watching the boats sail by. There were a few maintenance and housekeeping issues. Kitchen was a little dirty and dishwasher hadn’t been unloaded when we arrived. We had to wait for awhile for the host to arrive to let us in the property. Wine had to be brought the second day that was supposed to be in the houseboat. With a few more guest services this could be more welcoming. However, it was a wonderful opportunity to experience a houseboat on a canal in Amsterdam.

Very fun and convenient
Great neighborhood walking distance to bus and trains. Coffee and food very close by. Houseboat was fun and a unique experience. If you have physical limitations the few stairs going down to boat are not easy and the beds were very soft. Other than those two notes we would highly recommend!

Houseboat was the way to stay in Amsterdam!
Everything about this houseboat was wonderful. It is situated on a quiet part of the canal, away from the pedestrian traffic yet a convenient walk through the Jordaan, to museums, and to Westerpark which is quite beautiful. It is even a reasonable walk to the main train station. The rooms were roomy, there are two private bathrooms, and the boat is bright and airy. We stayed there with our adult son and enjoyed the deck just off the living room to watch the happenings along the canal. The arrangements and communications were excellent. Highly recommend this property!

A quiet respite in the Jordaan
Usually with either of the short term stay websites, you hope you get at least 50% to 75% of what the photos might show. This property wound up nearly being at 100%! It was an amazing experience. Suzanne and Diana (managers for the owner) were VERY responsive as we planned our trip. Diana greeted us at the houseboat and was totally gracious even though we were late due to initial bad directional advice from iPhone maps. The area - Jordaan - was perfect as it was away from the maddening Amsterdam crowds yet close enough to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go - though we made GREAT use of Tram 5. The houseboat was beautifully appointed! And what fun it was to wave at all the boats that passed in front on the canal. The boat is well anchored to the dock so there was no movement. This place deserves a 10!

A perfect place to stay. 15-20 minutes walk to most sights, great food/pubs close by (Thai food is 100m away). Quiet street is a perfect place to relax.

Charming and Unforgettable Stay
This property exceeded our expectations. Located in a charming and convenient Jordaan location, we had a true Amsterdam experience. The house boat was spacious, clean, and well furnished. Comfortable beds, and plenty of windows for natural light and a fresh breeze off the canal. The neighborhood is quiet, but a short walk to all that the city has to offer. While the roof of the houseboat isn’t accessible, there is a small patio off the living room that is perfect to take your morning coffee or an evening nightcap. Our hosts were lovely and the check in process was easy. Highly recommend, and will book again on our next trip to the Netherlands!

Great place!
The houseboat was in a wonderful location in a great neighborhood, with big windows to watch the water and the people on the bridge. (Luckily, there were also great blinds and drapes for when we wanted to sleep, too.) The hosts were friendly and very communicative. We would love to stay here again!

We had an outstanding trip and couldn't have been happier with our accommodations. Nick was a great help getting us settled and gave us great advice about the neighborhood. The location could not be better and it was an incredible experience to stay right on the canal. Hope to stay again! Thank you!!

The houseboat was everything you would expect from the photos and more. The neighborhood is lovely, with shopping- wine, food, coffee, clothing, etc within short walking distance, and wonderful markets where you purchase about anything! Within walking distance to just about everything- including the museum district.

Great houseboat, high end furnishings, excellent condition, very clean and quiet location.
Extremely pleased with this vacation rental, a jewel so close to the heart of Amsterdam. The houseboat has class, fully equipped for enjoying staying home after a busy day touring the city. Nice neighborhood close to shopping, restaurants and night life. A perfect "10" for folks that like water and want to fully experience what living in Amsterdam is like. We will come back to this place as 4 days was too short. Also, very helpful and efficient management company and owner .

September 2019
The location of the property was wonderful. We were able to walk to everything and there were many good restaurants to choose from. The check in process went smoothly other than the fact that we arrived earlier than checkin time. Peter sent a taxi to pick us up however we did not realize until we arrived that we could not enter the houseboat for another 4 hours. Since it was raining we would have stayed at the airport rather than walk through town for 4 hours. The houseboat is lovely however the beds were not. The bed in the master bedroom had a foam pad on top of the mattress and there was not a top sheet. I have stayed in many places throughout Europe and I have never experienced bedding like this. The bed in the other bedroom was not that comfortable either but it did have a top sheet. The kitchen floor was sticky and I was quite surprised there was only 2 teaspoons and 2 wine glasses. You also need to read a booklet to unlock and operate the microwave. Diane and Peter were both very nice and as I mentioned the location was perfect.

Can we live here?
What a wonderful place to retreat from the wackiness of the U.S.A! We wanted to learn Dutch and become part of the neighborhood. This house-barge really is someone's home, and it has all the comforts. We loved sitting in the living room at dawn and dusk, when the canal and bridges deserve to be painted. The local neighborhood has every amenity a visitor could want. (The informative visitor guide is among the best we have seen, but a few recommended places have closed, so check online.) We had a little difficulty with the delicate door lock, but it may have been operator error (mine), and the owner showed up in minutes to perform his manage. We want to return!
