    Everything is within reach, as well as a filmmuseum, 100m high lookout or just a nice restaurant next to the water or even beach. Also going out for nature is a 15 min tour on a bike or car.

Edwin was a great host, very approachable and very accommodating for check in and check out. Gave us great directions to nearby restaurants and shops. Ferry ride to central station and the sights in Amsterdam was very easy to do. Kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately the nearby laundromat was not open during our stay. Great for two couples

This was such a charming property conveniently located near the train station with access to a ferry. It was so nice to be close to that area while also in a more unique setting. Edwin was such a fantastic host. I communicated with him several times leading up to our arrival, and he always responded promptly. He also provided many tips for our brief stay. Upon our arrival, he also took the time to give us some more information about Amsterdam's layout. He truly appreciated his efforts.

House boat atay

We had a great stay at this property. The property was exactly as advertised and was just right for three people. It certainly was close to the center of Amsterdam but far enough to be quiet. I would certainly stay here again.

Unique and Relaxing Stay on a Houseboat

Staying on this houseboat was a unique and relaxing experience, offering beautiful canal views and a peaceful atmosphere. The location was ideal—close to the city center yet quiet enough to enjoy some tranquility. The hosts were very friendly and provided great local tips, making our visit even better.

Great location to see the heart of Amsterdam

My husband and two daughters stayed here and it was a wonderful location. The house was incredibly clean and had everything we needed. Edwin was very helpful with places to visit and made us feel so welcome. Everyday we walked the short distance to the free passenger ferry where we could then explore museums, canals, and enjoy all types of food. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay in the perfect location for exploring

The boat itself is great for a cozy stay. It’s nice and warm and in great condition. There are 4 single beds that are together to essentially create 2 doubles so it’s a bit cozy if you’re sharing with friends. The location is perfect as it’s just about a 10min walk from the free 24/7 ferry into the centre. Theres also plenty to see on the north side of the river. Would highly recommend this stay.

Cozy houseboat stay

We arrived in Amsterdam as the final leg of a 17 day European vacation. Check in and out was easy, Edwin was a wealth of info and the home is spotless. We happened to be there one day that the weather was horrible - cold, rain and VERY high winds,,,a perfect crash day for us to stay inside and rest. Comfy beds. Walking distance from the central train station and a grocery store nearby.

Nice days

We had a nice day in Noord. It was very quiet there and it is also conveniently located for city trips. Edwin is a very nice landlord and the apartment is modern, very clean and well laid out. The rooms are narrow but cozy and there is a patio door in the living room that you can open. We liked it and would like to come back again.
