How to get there
A taxi is a quick and easy way to travel to our water villa.
We recommend downloading the Uber app. A taxi fare to and from the airport is approximately 30 euros.
Shuttle bus to the airport:
Shuttle bus 397 departs every 15 minutes from the bus station directly in front of the airport exit and stops at the Leidseplein bus stop 29 minutes later. From there, it is a short walk to the houseboat (8 minutes). A Niteliner night bus is also available if your flight arrives very late, after midnight, or if you need to catch a very early morning flight.
Train and tram from the airport
You can take the train to Central Station and get off at Lelylaan. Then take tram 17 to Central Station and get off at Bilderdijkstraat. From there, it is only a 3-minute walk. Approximately 28 minutes in total.
How do you get to the houseboat from Central Station?
The houseboat is easily accessible from Central Station. Take tram 17 and get off at Bilderdijkstraat. 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 (Vondelpark, Food Hallen, Jordaan district, 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. Ideal for a small family with kid(s). All our guests are nonsmoking.
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. A lot of supermarkets too.
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!
