In the summer there is a small balcony with hammock upstairs. And the view of the harbor is very calming for us at least. The bathroom has a nice modern shower, the floor is such that it can be dried easily with the sweeper..All products were provided.

    First experience on a houseboat and it was spectacular. The welcoming, comfortable, full optional house. Waking up in the morning and having coffee on the canal, immersed in nature is a wonderful feeling. The place is really beautiful. It can be reached on foot in 15 minutes from the bus stop through a park that is pleasant to walk through and regenerating. Alternatively by car/taxi/bicycle directly in front of the houseboat. Vera and her husband were very helpful and gave us good advice. A fantastic experience.

    Great location, best area in the city to stay in; safe, quiet, close to the center and most things you want to see, and the Jordaan area where the houseboat is located is just absolutely stunning, can walk around all day and just get lost in the beautiful streets. It's a cute house boat, can't go wrong, great experience. The sitting area with the openable windows was also great for us :) We got an early check-in as requested. It mostly had everything you need for a 6 night stay. Smaller room and

    This houseboat stay was so lovely. Koen and Olivia were very helpful and arranging a time to check in was easy. The little touches like local beers in the fridge or umbrellas to borrow were great extras. The houseboat is easily reachable from the city centre by bus or tram, but also not that far to walk. The houseboat was so clean, comfortable and perfect for a couple of nights. We loved being on the water and feeling like we got a real Amsterdam experience.
