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.

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.

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.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris G.

Very close to public transportation, so you can get anywhere in the city quickly and easily. The property reflected the charm of the city and was larger than we expected. The design made excellent use of the space. There was a small deck in the front, back and even on the side. We would highly recommend. ##### Chris G.

Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good find on the canal This houseboat is located 1/2 a block from the metro station, so getting to Amsterdam Central is a short trip. There is a grocery store three blocks south. The rental bikes are located across the bridge, a short five minute walk. We rented them for the stay and it was really enjoyable to bike around the city, especially through Vodelpark! We tried the hot tub boat - a unique experience but it did take two hours to heat the water by wood fire, and given that it was early April it was chilly. There are several cafes for eating close by, but we mostly ate throughout this amazing city. The owner/manager was great with communication and it was easy to locate and get in/out. The steep steps down to the boat would be a challenge for people who cannot easily walk/climb stairs. The houseboat was clean and as described, and you very much need a smart phone to access the property as there are many smart features. The toilet is also a bidet which decreases waste. It was lovely to rest on the dock after a long day, enjoying the evening sunset. ##### Kirstin J. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### stuart t. Mar 27, 2023 Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beware Boat is moored beside a busy 4 lane road not good for a peaceful night’s sleep Host requested another 75€ per night to unlock the second bedroom Some lights not working and all kitchen cupboards were locked so no cooking !!! ##### stuart t. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary S. Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Nice Houseboat with Caution The houseboat is lovely in a nice location. The main problem was the climate control. The owner controlled the climate and air conditioning remotely. There was no AC until 7 pm when it suddenly becomes so freezing it was hard to sleep. The AC is blasting until 7 AM. The nights were very uncomfortable. Had a real negative impact on our stay. We would not stay here again. ##### Mary S.
