How to get there
Taxiservice
The taxi service special price for my guests is 40 euros. Only from the houseboat to the airport.
Airport Bus Shuttle
The airport bus shuttle 397 leaves every 15 minutes from the bus platform just in front of the airport exit and stops 29 minutes later at bus station Leidseplein. Then a small walk to the houseboat (8 minutes). There's also a Niteliner night bus if your flight arrives very late, after midnight, or if you have to catch a flight very early in the morning.
Train and tram from the airport
You can take the train to Central Station, get out at stop Lelylaan. Then take tram 17 to Central Station, but get out at stop Bilderdijkstraat. From here it is only a 3minute walk. Total about 28 minutes.
Getting to the Houseboat from Central Station
It is easy to get to the houseboat from Central Station. Just take tram 17, at Bilderdijkstraat you get out. From there, it is just a 3-minute walk (350 m).
About the area
'Oud West' Overview'
Oud West', Old West, but better known as 'Gold West' nowadays, as our part of the city is called, is known for the laid-back and quiet atmosphere, but also for many main attractions (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Anne Frank House) within walking distance. You are assured to have a good night's rest since the tourist masses just don't frequent our canal. So, you have the best of both worlds.
Convenient Location
The houseboat is conveniently located at a short distance from the buzzing Leidse Square (Leidseplein, 7 min. walking), Museum Square (12 min. walking) (Van Gogh Museum, MOCO-Banksy, Stedelijk, and the National Rijksmuseum), and the wonderful Vondelpark (7 min. walking). Although the location is very central, you can be assured of a great night's rest since the actual neighborhood where we live is very calm, safe, and quiet at night.
Dining Options
Great restaurants surround the houseboat. Indonesian, Indian, Thai, Dutch, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc., are all within a 5-minute walk. Also, the famous INDOOR FOODHALLEN is located within walking distance.
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). Also I'm a captain on the big canalboats, you can join a covered 1 hour boattour whole year around. I rent out the entire 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!
