Explore your stay

Have you ever been on a houseboat before? Come and visit ours! Our modern and spacious studio is a great way to stay on a boat. We've been developing this brand new houseboat and it was finished in 2020. So everything seriously is completely modern, the ship was constructed out of steel plates and everything in the design is well-thought of.

NO head-bumping as all heights are high enough, NO moisture and NO cold nights as all isolation is thick and there is floor heating and CV everywhere. We guarantee an absolutely PRIVATE stay on the boat. NO sharing, NO disturbances. We ourselves live on the same ship, so we'll notice each other on our deck terraces. Also, do keep in mind -while the adjacent walls are thick- we might be able to hear each other move about. So let's both respect our relaxation.

The area for sure is the best place to experience Amsterdam, it's a hidden gem just outside the hustle and bustle of the mass tourism in Amsterdam.

About the area

The boat is located in the most romantic neighborhood in the city center. We believe it’s THE ultimate location to experience Amsterdam city, just outside the touristic area.

The area for sure is the best place to experience Amsterdam... that's if you're not chasing parties 24/7 or hunger for packed touristic streets. The houses in our neighborhood are most wanted and people who live around here... don't ever want to leave. A village in the center of Amsterdam, with lovely ROMANTIC bridges creating that ultimate holiday feeling, also for the ones living here.

On an island in between beautiful warehouses we are situated in a lee which makes your stay pleasant for sure. Thereby we are in the ultimate sun angle, so we are always the first ones enjoying our sunny deck terrace in a t-shirt while a passerby still wears his winter coat.

Nadine

We are a family of 4, Gyom 11 and Izza 9 and Ruby 5 and me. We love travelling ourselves and are interested in countries beauties and cultures and we love to show you how we live here in Amsterdam. We are living on the canals of Prinseneiland for several years now and we never want to move, that's for sure. Nine years ago we have constructed this complete new houseboat, a historical boat-model but with all MODERN luxury such as floor heating and endless hot showers. We guarantee an absolutely PRIVATE stay. No sharing, no disturbances. You even have your private walkway and private deck terrace. We ourselves live on the same boat on the other side, so we'll notice each other move around.

    Swan‘s Retreat

    A lovely stay with a very friendly and caring host. The boat is in a nice neighbourhood area, with other boat people around and friendly neighbours. Seans, ducks, and other waterbirds enjoy that too, which makes it a nice piece of nature in the center of the city. The studio is a modern but cute retreat. We enjoyed the sunset on deck as well as moonlight over the Drie Harings Brug.

    Great experience!

    Comfortable and relaxing accommodation with everything that could be expected in a hotel room. It was a great summer evening chilled out on the deck.

    June 22 stay for a week

    We were very pleased with our stay on the Lucy Lou. It is in a wonderful quiet location and sitting on the deck surveying the canal with a cold beverage was very relaxing after a busy day.

    It's about a 10 minute walk up to a busy street with lots of shops and restaurants. You can also get the bus (#48) about a 5 minute walk away to take you to Central Station from which you can access transit to all parts of the city or take a train for an out of town day trip. Best to buy a transit pass there which you can purchase for an hour or for as many days as you require. From Central Station it's also an easy walk to Old Town and the Red Light district.

    The apartment itself is quite small and features minimal cooking facilities, really only a coffee maker and a small fridge and enough dishes for two. It is suitable only for couples. We brought in groceries for breakfast but ate all our other meals out. The bed was very comfortable but is in a kind of loft so getting in and out could be a bit challenging if you have mobility issues. Bathroom and shower were small but adequate with lots of hot water. Ed and Nadine were very kind and gracious hosts and gave us lots of good tips. Overall I would say the best thing about the Lucy Lou is the location, it really is a lovely quiet home base in the heart of a big city.

    Great experience

    My husband and I stayed here for 1 night. Nadine was easy to contact and very accommodating to us. She let us check in early, and her husband held our bags after check-out. The room is very cute and has everything you need. The top of the boat was amazing for an afternoon glass of prosecco and coming home in the evening. A great location as well, VERY safe neighborhood.
