Houseboat summary

I warmly welcome you aboard my houseboat, located in our lovely neighborhood called Oud-West. At walking distance to the city, so a perfect spot to explore Amsterdam from. You will stay at a private B&B guestroom with water view, cupboard, doublebed with mattress size 130 X 180 meter, washing sink and have access to the shared kitchen (to prepare your DIY breakfast). Furthermore there is a floating terrace on the water side, bathroom with shower and toilet and you could even swim in the canal at summertime. Please note that this is a strictly non-smoking location; I only welcome strictly non-smokers due to the fact that me and my daughter are very sensitive to smoke and dislike smoke. 

Houseboat description

  1. The houseboat is conveniently located on short distance of the buzzing Leidse Square (Leidseplein, 7 min. walking), Museum Square (12 min. walking) with the National Rijksmuseum, Van Goghmuseum, Stedelijk Museum and MOCO and the wonderful Vondelpark (7 min. walking).  Although the location is very central, you can be assured to have a great night rest since the actual neighborhood where we live is very calm, safe and quiet. 

    Note that the B&B guestroom is very cozy and there is not a lot of space for large suitcases etc. There is a cabinet in the B&B room and you can place handluggage under the bed.


For your convenience in the B&B room you have:

* High speed wifi

* Soap and shampoo

* Coffee, tea and Dutch cookies, bottle of wine or juice

* Fresh washed bedlinen and towels (and 1 or 2 persons duvet)

* Hairdryer

* Ironer and board

* Toiletpaper

Bikes on request. 

What I personally like about the boat is the central location (around the corner at Sixt Rent a Car Nassaukade) lovely water views and many birds swimming by every day. In summertime you could even take a swim in the canal too! Not only many very well known touristic highlights are within walking distance, but also less known places where the locals go. A good example are 'De Hallen', food halls with lots of tasty things to discover and a adjacent cinema. Furthermore it is just a few minutes walk to the Jordaan district Elandsgracht, 9 shopping streets, with its countless boutique shops, bars and restaurants. 

Within a few minutes walk there are several bars and restaurants, e.g. the famous Happyhappyjoyjoy West, Brouwerij Troost Oud-West as well as a lot of very convenient super markets Vomar, AH, Lidl, Marqt. Of course I will share my knowledge of the neighborhood with you on arrival. 

My houseboat is ideal for a COMPLETELY NONSMOKING single (woman) traveler, couple, close friends, retired people who prefer a comfortable but cozy boat bed (attention! size 130 X 180 meter) and a central place to explore the city. 

There are two important things that I want to share with you before you make a booking request. I strictly welcome only non-smokers. Secondly I kindly ask not to bring/use any kind of drugs inside my houseboat.

How to get there

Use my taxiservice with guest disount. For only 35 euro this taxi company picks you up from the airport and brings you to my Houseboat BnB (BedNOBreakfast) within 18 minutes.

Direct Airport Busshuttle 397 leaves every 15 minutes from busplatform Schiphol Airport to busstation Elandsgracht. Attention! Last stop of this bus. Takes 45 minutes. Price 6 euro a person by card at the busdriver.

It is easy to get to the boat from the Central Station. Just take tram 17 and after 5 stops Elandsgracht you get out. From there it is just a 3 minute walk (350 m).

If you arrive by car you can park in front of the houseboat in the public street. Costs are 6 euro per hour. Park & Ride Bos and Lommer is however a good, safe and cheap option. 

About the area

'Oud West' as our part of the city is called, is known for the laid back and quiet atmosphere. There are many main attractions within walking distance, the area is hip and happening but you are assured to have a good night rest since the tourist masses just don't frequent our canal. So you have the best of both worlds. 

 The houseboat is conveniently located on short distance of the buzzing Leidse Square (Leidseplein, 7 min. walking), Museum Square (12 min. walking) and the wonderful Vondelpark (10 min. walking).  Although the location is very central, you can be assured to have a great night rest since the actual neighborhood where we live is very calm, safe and quiet at night.

Houseboat owner

Cynthianne

I live, work and love (house)boats. I believe it's such an amazing place to be surrounded by water, birds, boats, have a private, cosy, warm, welcoming home and is also located at a fantastic location! Quiet and safe, central and unique. I am a skipper on several boats steering through the Amsterdam Canals (view Boattour by Locals and Book a Tour Rederij Paping) and work for an environmental company (Plastic Whale). I rent out the whole houseboat only 30 days a year, so you could have the unique experience to sleep on the famous Amsterdam Canals for a few days. I am living a healthy life. I host absolutely nonsmoking people and drugs-users are definitely not my kind of guests too. Me and my daughter prefer hosting families with kid(s) retirees, quiet and respectful people. I have made an information map with very nice things to do and see in Amsterdam, most things are free to visit!
