We loved staying on a boat!! The location was excellent to explore on foot. Lots of shops & restaurants nearby. Plenty of room for my friend and me… very spacious! The hosts’ guidebook was helpful and they were quick to respond to messages, questions.

We loved our time staying in this houseboat! It's in a fantastic location, easy to walk to many spots in the Jordaan area of Amsterdam, as well as many other neighborhoods. Excellent food options nearby as well. The houseboat itself was clean and roomy. We were very comfortable there. Our hosts were welcoming and very easy to get in touch with if/as we needed.

Thank you for a great week! The Canal boat was comfortable for our family of four and the kitchen was great for making breakfast and a couple of dinners. The central location could not be beat. It was a memorable experience we will cherish.

The houseboat exceeded our expectations. The owners were extremely communicative and the check-in process was simple. The houseboat is super clean and outfitted for comfortable living while visiting Amsterdam. During the day the area is very active with cafes and restaurants very close by. At night, the neighborhood is very quiet. We would stay there again for sure.

Dispite the very cold weather out boat was so welcoming and warm to come back to each day. We all loved our stay, we even got to all curl up on the sofa and watch a few movies. The welcome bottle of wine was also greatly appreciated!

Wonderful experience!

First time visiting Amsterdam and this was the perfect place to stay. Not only was the houseboat a great alternative to a hotel, the location was ideal. Not touristy but plenty to do and easy to walk to wherever you wanted to go. Houseboat is perfect for two adults!

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.

Our decision to stay in a houseboat while in Amsterdam turned out to be a great one! We loved the boat itself, which had everything we needed. We were 3 female friends staying there, and we were very comfortable comfortable with 2 of us sharing the larger bed and one of us in the bed in the front of the boat. However, I would not stay there with 2 couples, as the beds are close, with only a small curtain for privacy. Otherwise, highly recommend!

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!

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.

The Best Christmas Gift!

We surprised our teenagers with a trip to Amsterdam as a Christmas gift. We stayed here between Christmas and New Years. The house boat was an awesome, relaxed way to stay in Amsterdam. The boat and the neighborhood were perfect for our family of four. Highly recommend.
