Response from VrboOwner on 26 Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful location and felt comfortable aboard Kadans. It was a pleasure hosting you on our Amsterdam houseboat!
And no worries at all about the shower shelf — these things happen. We’ve already taken care of it.
Safe travels, and you’re always welcome back!

The Boathouse Suite was so much more than expected. The only hiccups were mine (beyond my control). Tim & Renske were so understanding (I was stressed but they were chill).
We arrived in Amsterdam early Sunday morning -directions on point and easy to follow. Using public transit, we only needed to walk 5 minutes to their property.
The canal was quiet when we arrived. What a charming neighbourhood!
Tim greeted us. Bright, colourful flowers on their walkway seemed to bask in the morning sun.
After helping carry our bags, (which they graciously housed until check-in), we were treated to a cold drink and few moments to get our tourist legs going. The space was ready early -several hours before check-in, much appreciated.
We found the space exactly as advertised (better actually). We boarded the houseboat and descended the staircase where we entered the rental space on the right (Tim, Renske & Coco’s living space is on the left).
Quite obviously newly renovated, the space is bright, clean and the perfect size, with all the houseboat vibes. The comfortable loft bed is easy to access with sturdy stairs. The bathroom is bright and spacious, with a very generously sized shower area and the living space is welcoming. The above deck outdoor area has a lovely sitting space. You can swim or SUP in the canal.
I Would highly recommend this space. It was a rather idyllic end to a long busy vacation. Yes, idyllic - right down to the heart-embossed toilet tissue (honest)!
Thx again!

About the host
Hosted by Renske & Tim
Hi — we’re Renske & Tim, and we live here in Amsterdam with our daughter Coco, on a beautiful houseboat.
We love kiting, cruising the canals and — one of our favourite things about houseboat-life — swimming every day.
We created Amsterdam BB because we want to share our love of living on the water with our guests. Our cozy and modern boat-suite, located on KNSM Island at Levantkade, offers a unique place to stay: peaceful yet close to the vibrant heart of Amsterdam.
Whether you’re here to explore the rich history of the city, browse the charming canal-streets, or simply unwind with stunning waterfront views, we’ll make sure your stay is unforgettable.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with KNSM Island because it combines the best of Amsterdam: the calm of the water and the energy of the city. This former harbor area has become one of the most beautiful modern neighborhoods — surrounded by architecture, art, and wide views over the IJ.
From our houseboat you can walk or cycle straight into the historic center, yet return to complete peace and open skies. We love the mix of design, creativity, and serenity here — and the feeling of living both in Amsterdam and on the water at the same time.

What makes this property unique
The Boat Suite offers a truly authentic Amsterdam experience — staying on a modern private houseboat with your own terrace on the water.
It’s peaceful, bright, and beautifully designed, with big windows that let you enjoy the reflections of the canal all day long.
You’re just minutes from the city center, yet it feels like a hidden retreat — where you can wake up to the gentle sound of water, watch boats pass by, and experience Amsterdam from a completely different perspective.
