Great houseboat in a terrific lication
We had a lovely stay at this apartment. Well-equipped kitchen. Very clean. The queen bedroom has a very low ceiling height—under 5 ft—which required some creative sleeping arrangements with 6ft+ family members. Would definitely stay here again!

Great houseboat in lovely quiet canal
Great stay. However the interface between VRBO and the property group was terrible as, for example, the property manual URL in VRBO’s antiquated messaging system actually deleted key parts of the URL and only after several confusing messages and and several calls did we finally get a manual and other info sent by WhatsApp. But properly much fun

Terrible Houseboat stay
1. It smelled of mildew. 2. Water was leaking in the bow bedroom onto the bed and linens rendering the bed unusable. 3. The couch was listed as a pullout couch and was not. 4. The drain in the floor of the bathroom was backing up/bubbling spraying sewage into the floor creating a fall hazard. We were offered a “rollaway bed. Not what was agreed on. We were offered to move to another boat for two nights but then we would have to move back. Not what was agreed to. The water closet was filthy. We had to leave and find new shelter.

Plus and minus
There were pluses and minuses about this boat. Loved the location, fairly quiet but near a vibrant part of Amsterdam, and still quite a distance from more highly touristed areas. Small place for coffee and also an Amsterdam ‘coffee shop’ steps away from the door. Good restaurants near by, a bit of a walk to the nearest trams. A negative was the big difference between thé photos and the reality. The interior looked tired, certainly not the shiny, lovely wooden surfaces and subtle lighting of the photos. The actual interior space of the living room/kitchen is well laid out. One of the living area lights lights was burned out and a window shade fell down during the stay. It took our host more than 24 hours to respond. The primary bedroom is almost entirely filled by a large comfortable bed, one side of which borders very close to 3 steps down to another bed in the hull. This felt very insecure and a significant falls risk especially for a person getting up during the night. Another falls risks is a 1-2 inches high bar to step over going into the shower/sink area. The outside patio on the front deck of the boat was dirty, and the chairs astray. The whole place looked at best minimally kept up, the photos misleading. This is an expensive place. We expected much more. Wouldn’t consider staying here again with the rental being in the shape we found it in.

Perfect Amsterdam experience
Our whole family enjoyed this houseboat. My seven year old loved watching the ducks in the canal. My teenager liked watching all the boats go by. And my husband and I loved how close the cafes were to grab coffee and croissants.

Honeymoon on a houseboat
The houseboat ended up being a perfect fit for us on the second part of our honeymoon. Having lived in Amsterdam for some years, I knew this location would be great. Endless cafes, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and easy access to the rest of the city by bike. We rented two bikes from a nearby shop and were able to lock them up nearby with ease for our entire stay. It’s the best way to get around the city. Highly recommend walking down to the market on Saturday mornings if you are able. The houseboat was a fantastic retreat, and being able to sit out on the bow of the boat and watch the world go by will be a cherished memory of mine for years to come. The only catch was dealing with Top Select, the property managers. Communication with them was less than stellar prior to check in (we didn’t receive any kind of check in process until after the official check in time of 2 PM), but once they did get back to me, they provided all the information we required. All in all a great place and would highly recommend.

Had to stay on a HOUSEBOAT in Amsterdam.
It was all about the experience. Me, my husband and two grown sons, 25 and 28 stayed here. We ALL loved it! It was so quiet at night and beautiful during the day. It was close to everything and we used ONLY public transportation. We had a FABULOUS time and hope we will return to Amsterdam soon. Thank you for EVERYTHING! Noreen

Wonderful in every way
The houseboat was an exceptional home base for exploring the city. We had four adults and all slept well, though the pull-out couch had to be replaced right before we arrived, with a couch with enough space to sleep two. Everything we needed was there, with curtains available in all spaces for privacy if you need it. Perfect for a family of four. Lots of headroom and an easy lockbox for the keys. Coffee right across the street, with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Just perfect.

Arrival and departure team was awesome! Boathouse however is in need of an upgrade. Linens, sheets etc. really need to be replaced. Window treatments were either missing or broken. Freezer as well. Bathroom door would not close. A couple of lights did not work. Outside war just painted and clean up crew did a nice job on cleaning windows etc. Minor stuff, enjoyed everything Amsterdam had to offer Cheers. Steve

Amsterdam Family Holiday
Family members from US and London enjoyed our time together in this lovely houseboat. The location was perfect for spending days exploring Amsterdam. The host team and owner did an excellent job of communicating important information in a timely manner. A week of houseboat living was a new experience, but l recommend it as the very best way to enjoy an Amsterdam Holiday.
