Houseboat summary
Our houseboat is situated on a marvelous spot in the the Amstel River. If you are looking for a relative quite place to stay but still like to be close to everything this is the place to be.
The apartment offers great views and more than enough space since the entire space is about 60m2. You will have your own outside deck to relax at and enjoy the Amstel river and for those guests who are in for a bit more adventure we have sup boards for rent and also provide little stairs on the deck to make it possible to have a swim as well.
The vibrant Albert Cuyp Market is only 10 minutes by bike away, which is located in the truly authentic and never dull neighborhood called 'the Pijp'.
Houseboat description
Our family lives on one side of the houseboat. Your own entrance door from the outside leads to the part where our guests stay. The door opens with an individual code so no keys are necessary, which makes it possible to be flexible with your arrival time.
A nice living area can be found on the first level with wonderful views all around of the river and the park outside. A nice couch to relax at and a small TV for those who want to have a nice evening in. Also a dining table and chairs can be found here where you can have a great dinner or breakfast overlooking the Amstel.
The outside deck is private and also has chairs and a small table to enjoy long evenings outside.
The kitchen has many appliances such as a microwave/oven, fridge, coffee maker, water boiler, toaster plates and cutlery and much more.
On this floor you will also find a toilet, and another one inside the bathroom on the lower level.
The stairs will lead you downstairs and therefor below the water level. Here is the good side bedroom with a double bed. Adjacent is the bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. The bedroom and bathroom windows are above the water level and therefor can be opened.
Our houseboat is the perfect spot for couples or friends who want to explore our beautiful city but also enjoy water life and nature to escape to at the end of the day.
We have 2 bikes which can be rented for 15 euro per bike per stay.

How to get there
Public transport:
The RAI metro as well as the train station is only a 5 minute walk away. This station is about 10 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station.
By car:
Take the exit S110 'Rivierenbuurt' to get to the boat. Our neighborhood has ample parking space but it is paid from 9AM until 9PM at 4,50 Euro per hour. There are Park & Ride areas as well as parking spaces which you can book in front which are not so expensive.
About the area
The Rivierenbuurt is a great area to live at in Amsterdam. So you will quickly feel like a local. Many expats, families and elderly people live here. So there is something to find for every need.
The Martin Luther Kingpark across our boat is a great place to meet people. Many of the locals like to hang out there during summer days to have a picknick. In the park is a nice restaurant which is open for lunch and dinner.
The supermarket, drugstore and other shops can be found at the Rijnstraat and Maasstraat which are only a 5 minute walk away.
Houseboat owner

We are a family of four. We enjoy living on our houseboat so much we had the idea of sharing this great place with our guests.
We have 2 little girls of 8 and 9 years old and a sweet Labradoodle named Haggis.
We are at your disposal for whatever question you may have and love to make your stay a memorable!
