The boat itself was surprisingly comfortable, with ample space for our group. We particularly loved the novelty of living on the water. Despite being located near a major street, it was remarkably quiet and peaceful, which was a pleasant surprise. The location was also very convenient, offering easy access to local attractions. We're giving it 4 stars because while everything was great, there was room for a little more polish in terms of some minor amenities. Overall, a fantastic and memorable stay! ##### Jonathan W.

Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Once in a lifetime experience Where else can you stay in a houseboat in the middle of the city? It is definitely a fun adventure. A few things to know: if you or anyone in your group has mobility issues this place is not for you. Steep stairs. Also you are in the city. It isn’t quiet. The hosts kindly leave earplugs but we sleep with white noise so not an issue for us. The kitchen is more of a Kitchenette. Great storage for clothing given it’s a houseboat. Management was quick to respond to questions. ##### E B. Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### grace d. Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Canal boat experience Booked this for a weekend as husband going to a conference. Tired of staying in expensive hotels we thought we would try a houseboat. The photos on the website were probably quite old as the property was tired: dirty grouting in the bathroom and tired looking sofa. It would be so much better if there were not wires crisscrossing lights etc everywhere. It is also next to a main road and a popular bar which were not mentioned. Having said that the novelty of staying in a boathouse beats overpriced hotels. The shower works and the bed was comfortable. Watching the world go by and feeding the moorhens from the outside platform was great. The boat was well sound proof so the noise from the bar didn’t disturb us much. All in all a good experience and would recommend - given the reasonable rate. ##### grace d. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill H. Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic experience ... fun and cool We had a fantastic experience staying on the houseboat. It had everything we needed. When we had a small issue with a hair blower that had issues, Andrew was quick to get us a new one. We loved all the room. It was on a canal with little tour boats but more small boats people rented to tour the city so the traffic going by was fun as everyone waved. We enjoyed the small cafe 100 feet down for evening wine. Only one night did we hear some thumping from the late night music there. Andrew has a great summary of the area and we tried 4 of the cafes/restaurants recommended and they were awesome. The only thing I didn't realize from the pictures is that the boat is on a busy road. I was nervous about once realized but the boat sits down below and the morning and evening business commute noise not too bad. We loved the location ... just on the edge of the main tourist areas and less than two blocks to a Metro station to get around or 10 minutes down to the Central train station. Thank you, Andrew, for making one of the stops on our Europe trip truly unforgettable. ##### Bill H. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny W.

And they left plenty of coffee pods for us! The dock is nice to hang on at night and passersby wave from their boats. Management is very responsive to emails and messaging via VRBO. I absolutely loved it here. It’s close to trams and Metro making public transportation easy and readily accessible. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7d0cfe94-1acb-4156-8024-d97427defaee-1752092925988.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/37c4a55a-4e05-4d83-8e8f-11f5cf49131f-1752092925791.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/65bc4f9e-29b9-417d-8f14-9c84bfc8dfe3-1752092925897.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/256acb2c-38e6-40d5-bfd8-efa63b75e2fe-1752092925835.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### robin m.

It is just on the outskirts of the center which was good for us. If you want to be in the heart of it all then this is not the best spot for you. We loved the deck in the evening having a coffee or beer watching the boats go buy.The steps up and down could be tricky for old or young folks.Would certainly stay here again. ##### Chris R.

The boat was much bigger than we expected and the main bed was so comfortable. We loved the location as it was out of the main tourist area but we could walk to everywhere we wanted to go ##### Joanna M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave M.

My wife and I truly enjoyed what was, for us, a first-ever experience of living aboard a houseboat. Like any new experience, we needed a bit of time to understand how everything worked. In short, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation and we appreciated Andrew's support and thoughtful suggestions and information when we asked for his local insights. ##### Dave M.

There is a delight coffee shop/bakery a short stroll from the houseboat. There is a Lidl grocery store also near to the location. Because it was close to the train and tram we were able to get to any location easily. ##### Lili L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen B.

The location was excellent we were able to walk (within 30 Minutes) to all the museums, canal tours etc. The houseboat had plenty of room for us, and a nice coffee maker, which I really appreciated it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants the Amsterdam experience. ##### Karen B.

We enjoyed watching the passing boats and ducks and children paddling. We went for a drink next door at Amstel one evening and sat on the patio. Easy to access close by public transport to attractions and airport Beds very comfortable Definitely recommend as it was a relaxing enjoyable stay ##### Maureen S.

I had questions beforehand, and the owner responded to them promptly. The second bedroom is definitely a bit small for another adult but the master is perfect. Located close enough to a few metro stations that I was about to get around quickly. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Lucas P. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole A.

Not only we’re we able to enjoy the lovely canals of Amsterdam but we became a part of canal life! We had one issue (our fault) and it was addressed right away. The boat is strategically located to attractions and restaurants. We loved the city and we loved the boat!!! ##### Carole A.
