The accommodation was perfect for 4 of us (2 adults with 2 children). The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and so was the sofa bed. The kitchen and bathroom were spotless! We had amazing weather so spent a lot of time on the boat deck and swam with the locals each day in the swimming area which is right next to the boat. The accommodation was well located to catch public transport into the centre each day and lovely and quiet to come back to. We went to the supermarket (which was very close) to get some supplies. I would absolutely recommend staying here. ##### Melanie S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrie W.

Visited on the cusp of winter otherwise would have ventured up more than once to sit on drck to watch sunset with glass of wine. Owner Sander very friendly and knowledgable. Tremendous range of books in English explaining regeneration of docklands and biography of residents living in houseboats on the water - great for a guy like me who has worked in social housing all his life!

Feb 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Five Stars: Perfect We had a fantastic stay at the boat and our hosts were very welcoming. The accommodation is spacious and super clean, but also quirky and fun. It is really convenient for public transport, the number 63 bus runs frequently to Central Station and it's a 5 minute walk from the boat to the bus stop. We really appreciated the extra touches in the boat, Pringles and chocolate, perfect! Having shampoo, conditioner and shower gel was also great as we took hand luggage only. The district that the boat is in has lots of lovely food shops, a bakery that does the best cheese croissants and restaurants too. We visited the Cancun restaurant a bus ride away and had some delicious food, we highly recommend it. In short the boat was perfect, the location fantastic and we would love to return.

You really do get to experience the dandy lifestyle of boat living! We loved that there were barely any tourists!! swimming area, near by fantastic restaurants, were all filled with the locals. You get to witness the locals way of life here, yet you are near to the intensity of Amsterdam. Transportations near by but we walked and biked to Amsterdam central station. The unit was very clean and beautiful. We stayed in August and the cross venting summer breeze through the nautical windows were wonderful. This stay was terrific for our family as our son was able to enjoy swimming, play soccer at the soccer court with goals right by the boat, during the morning and evening resting times. I could just keep eye on him while relaxing on the deck of the boat. Host was friendly and provided easy and fast communications. ##### solim ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonia B.

The Mado was a lovely place to stay on the water and easy to access central Amsterdam cheaply by frequent bus and tram.Very peaceful and away from the tourist trail. The owner is friendly and helpful and personal contact and contact via Whats App was reassuring. I stayed with my grand daughter and we each had a comfortable bed/sofa bed and there is a nice bathroom with all necessary toiletries. Nearby supermarket to buy breakfast and snacks and plenty of places to eat well. The steps into the boat are steep so you need to be physically fit! I would recommend The Mado as a lovely place to stay experiencing life on a Dutch boat and community and yet being so easy to access all attractions. ##### Mary M.

Staying on MADO was the highlight of our time in Amsterdam. It is the perfect home base: quick and easy to get to the hustle and bustle of downtown Amsterdam, but off to the side enough to be relaxing, safe, and quiet for sleeping. Sander answered all of our questions beforehand, sent recommendations of places to eat, things to do etc, and was always available if needed (although we didn't need a thing). The MADO is very clean, exceptionally comfortable, very well stocked (the treats and drinks on arrival were very much appreciated). The space is bigger than the images lead you to believe; I was afraid of feeling trapped, but not at all! Lots of windows and space in the little suite. We loved watching the locals swim and sun bath next to the boat, and the kids enjoyed swimming too. We WILL be back (and for longe next time). Thank you for a wonderful experience ❤️ ##### Tara S.

Sehr nette Gastgeber, die uns mit vielen Infos und Empfehlungen rund um Amsterdam sehr geholfen haben. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig gelegen, etwas abgelegen von Trubel der Stadt. Die Anbindung zur City ist gut zu Fuß zuerreichen ##### Ramona K. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabien C.

Wir fanden eine wunderschöne, blitzsaubere und liebevoll hergerichtete Unterkunft in beeindruckender Umgebung vor mit top Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Wir können dieses tolle Apartment nur empfehlen! ##### Andrea L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriele W.

Es hat alles gestimmt wie in der Beschreibung, super gemütlich, nette Gastgeber, sehr hilfsbereit. Mit vielen Tipps, der Bus ist nicht weit, schöne Lokale im Umkreis, das Boot liegt direkt an einer swimming Area und es ist sicherlich toll, im Sommer da morgens seine Wunden zu drehen. Das Schiff ist sehr modern und gemütlich eingerichtet. Ein Empfangsgetränk, Schokolade und Chips haben uns den Aufenthalt versüßt. Meine Schwester und ich können das Schiff wärmstens empfehlen! ##### Gabriele W. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie G.
