About the area
It is a mixed neighborhood with old and new buildings. It used to be a cargo port with sheds, where houses have now been built. Some warehouses have been converted into homes. There is a lot of water around, which is eagerly used by residents of the neighborhood (swimming, supping, boating), but only small boats pass by. There is a shopping center within walking distance where you can do most of your shopping. There are also a few nice restaurants nearby. There is a bus that is at CS within 10 minutes and a tram that runs to the city center. There is a ferry nearby, which sails to Amsterdam Noord, where there are a few nice restaurants and a cinema.
Houseboat owner
Maria
I'm Maria, 47 years old, living with my 2 daughters Sam and Lila since August'22 on this fantastic boat. I work as a midwife, where I supervise deliveries both in the hospital and at home. I play the piano and accordion, love to walk, go to the movies and cook. My mother is from Paris, so I often go there. And as a result, I speak fluent French and a little bit of Spanish.
