Going out to discover Amsterdam and surroundings or just finding your quiet spot when working or relaxing, up to four can enjoy a lovely place on one of the Canals.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay on modern houseboat

Very comfortable stay on a modern house boat- highly recommended. The rooms are cosy and we had all we needed with some lovely personal touches. There was even an Christmas tree for us. Edwin was a great host and very considerate with good communication. The location is good and the free ferry from the Central Station works really well- we never waited more than a minute or two.

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!

A very nice stay!

With my husband and our 2 children (3 and 5 years old), we enjoyed very much this houseboat. It's clean, with the necessary equipments and it's pleasant to be close to water. We rent bikes and that way the location was perfect: with the ferries you are quickly in the center and at the same time you're not far from nice places like NDSM. The communication with Edwin was perfect and he cares about giving good tips and information. We recommand this place!
