Explore your stay

This Romantic Houseboat is an antique boat converted in to a small but very comfortable apartment. The style of the house can only be described as uncluttered 'old Amsterdam' style. 

Located in the center everything can be walked from here, the boat is 15 min walk from central station.

Only five minutes walk from Dam Square, and 15 from Central Station. The boat is surrounded by many restaurants, cafes, bars, Rembrandt Square, Nieuwmarkt, Waterlooplein and markets (Waterlooplein) Amsterdam's Stopera (the principal opera house) are all in view from the apartment which means that even a spontaneous stroll through the neighborhood could turn most exiting.

As its a boat you get to see Amsterdam from a very unique perspective and truly enjoy the canals in a romantic way. Street musicians do choose to perform near the market (close to the boat) so it is possible you would find yourself waking up to the sound of violins.

The boat is 100 years old which means it’s antic, romantic and very quiet. It’s not a 5 star hotel room what makes it very cosy. There are also 2 cats on board. One off them is really famous:) police cat amsterdam … 

Feeding the ducks in the morning is really nice as well to do.

    Idyllic and awesome!

    We stayed for four nights at Lydia's awesome houseboat and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Really chilled place. Lydia was great with info and meeting and greeting us, and it seems that she knows everyone around too! The boat had all we needed for our holiday and was comfy and kitted out in keeping with the old charm of the boat, as it is over 100 years old! Police Cat was a super local character! Perfectly positioned for exploring Amsterdam, we walked everywhere! Evenings spent watching the boats go by on the canal. Recommend the boat, the hostess Lydia, and the city! Amazing! X

    Lots of potentialShow original

    Lydia, very friendly! The houseboat's location is excellent! Romantic in the evening! The interior needs some work. The gas heater needs replacing. After a few days of work, the interior would be fantastic! It was a lovely trip to Amsterdam despite the rain, but that's part of Amsterdam!

    We will be back!

    Lydia is the best host. She had candles going, treats out, and we fell in love with the boat, the views, her hosting. We felt like locals, sipping coffee after a peaceful sleep on the boat, as canal tours and neighbors go by. Plus, Amsterdam police cat! Thank you.

    Pure Amsterdam magic

    Lydia and her place is pure Amsterdam magic. Her warmth and genuine excitement to meet guests plus the beautiful views from the boat is something special. Every nook has a different view or something to discover. Definitely will stay here again!
