Each unit has a terrace offering lake views, a cable flat-screen TV, a seating area, a well-fitted kitchenette and a private bathroom with walk-in shower, bathrobes and a hair dryer. Guests can have wine or champagne, fruits and chocolates or cookies delivered to their room. At the boat, units come with bed linen and towels.

Really nice and unique place in Amsterdam Noord, a lovely place to stay and relax from all the impressions from the main city. Still, it is conveniently located close to the Noorderpark, which itself is a single stop on the Metro from Amsterdam Centraal. Alex is a great host, very friendly and helpful. As the Room is below deck you can also enjoy your privacy if you want to. I would definitely recommend this place!

The boat consists of 2 bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a coffee machine, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and a hair dryer. A private entrance leads guests into the boat, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and chocolates or cookies. This boat is non-smoking and soundproof.

It was an amazing experience, the vibe of the place is great and it is very close to a metro station. Mr. Gross was super nice, he showed us everything, he even welcomed us with snacks and drinks. All in all it was terrific and way better than we expected (and we had really high expectations). I would totally recommend! Thank you.

    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

    It was a nice central location. Very close to all the tourist attractions, but the host pointed out the nearby "alternative" interesting area of the city which we also explored. It was fun to try a houseboat for a change and the furnishing is a lovely eclectic mix of vintage and modern. Nice restaurant right next to the houseboat too.

    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.
