City Centre Houseboat Liberty free bikes & canoes!

The houseboat was excellent! Both couch and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook meals and the location was very convenient, Less than 10 minutes walk from Central Station. The host was very welcoming and pointed out some good places too eat and sightsee. 

Thank you again! 

was ok

I spent 4 days on this amazing boat with my cousin and we couldn’t make any better.    We would love to be there even more. Thank you Otis for taking care and lovely stay.

The boat house is incredible! Hans is such a nice person and Otis did a really great job in arranging everything for us. Me and my boyfriend Juan had an excellent and satisfactory stay, the free bikes, canoes, and the location are also positive highlights. We 100% loved our time there in Amsterdam and we would recommend this exceptional place (=

We had a realy great time in on this cosi housboat in october! Everything was nice, clean and perfect!

The owner, was very very friendly, our flight was late, we arrived at 2 h in the morning, 3 h later as expected and he was waiting gave us the keys and he took the time to show us everything.

We where happy that we could use the bikes just next to the boat so we could cruise arround and discover this phenomenal city!!!

We would come again!!! Thank you!

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserer Woche auf dem tollen Hausboot in dem tollen Amsterdam! Wir kommen wieder! 

Because we had an early train to catch on our departure this location was ideal as it's just minutes walk even with bags in tow.

The Liberty Boat has an ideal views from the top deck and minutes to the heart of the city.

It was a pleasure to meet the owner and caretaker both were very courteous.

I would recommend the Liberty Boat if your visiting Amsterdam!

The Liberty ia a real house in a real boat. The location is simply perfect. The sleeping room is quite cozy and the glass-roofed living has a special mood! I would stay there again!

If you love old boats, you will love this boat!  This is real.  Perfect location.  Waves in the wind slightly rocking.  Cozy cuddy.  Don't come expecting the Ritz.  Tall people can deal pretty well.  

This houseboat is in a fantastic location if you want access to the railway station and central Amsterdam.  When booking look at the photos carefully - what you see is what you get - so be sure you like what you see.   We found the houseboat clean if rustic.  You can make coffee/tea and there's a fridge - we didn't try to make meals but you could.   The large central room was bright and cheerful - has a fan for warm weather - the bedroom has a heater.  Note you can't stand up going in or when you're in the sleeping quarters - but it was comfortable.   I'd stay again.

We thank you For a great stay & friendly hospitality ! 

Superb location & a great rustic houseboat,Exactly what we were after. We will  definitely return! 

Great place in the center, you get a unique perspective from the river level. Surprisingly quite place in the middle of tourist boat rides. Nice neighbourhood, a boat with charm and all the basics you might need. 

We have been so lucky to be the first guests on the Liberty and we truly loved it! The location is just amazing: only a few minutes walking from Central Station, the red light district, and the great Nieuwmarkt with it's great pubs and restuarants. The boat has lots of charm and is well equipped for two persons. Don't expect high end fancy luxury, but be embraced by the character of the ship. You can feel the history. Very personal atmospere - loved it! 

Really enjoyed our stay on this couldn't-be-more-centrally-located old-style houseboat right across from the floating Chinese restaurant and less than 5 minutes walk from the excellent Voyagers coffeeshop.
The provided bikes were invaluable though the canoes proved too adventurous for our rainy week.
Excellently 420-friendly.
Shower is strong, entrance to bedroom low (crouch) and although it got cold at night there are heaters under each bed.
Would definitely stay again.

We liked our stay very much! The boat is nearby to many attractions. But you are better fit and not tall when you want to stay here.  For example the ceiling of the bedroom is only about 1,30 m. The other rooms are of a normal high. There is almost no noise of the traffic although the dock is very close to central station. But you must like the sound of water splashing.

We decided to stay on a boat instead of the normal hotel and made the best decision to do so. 

The boat is located centrally with good connections to the main sights of Amsterdam. 

A great place to stay nice boat that stays warm and has everything you need with good views over the canal from the decking. Nice freindly owner as well

My daughter and I had a very nice stay at the houseboat. The boat was exactly “what you see is what you get”. Very close to the train station and very close to the center but without the fuss - actually very quiet. Getting up in the morning to sit on the bench on the front of the boat drinking coffee is just perfect!

We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed it very much, very friendly owner and very central location, perfect for visiting the city.
Very special experience.
Thanks for everything

The hosts were very nice, we were extremely delayed and even mixed up the days but the hosts were still very understanding and great about it. Even offered to meet us at the train station. The houseboat is super unique and vintage feeling with true port holes. It was awesome to shower by an open port hole. The bedroom was a bit stuffy but the fan they gave really helped. The host who is a girl is helping the owner who lives on the opposite side of the boat. There's a private entrance for our side and a bench on top of the boat with a cool bell to ring. The sunroom/living room is amazing, with a skylight and 4 port holes to open for a nice breeze. There were some spiders around the boat but we figure they helped to trap any bugs. The area was right in the town, 5min from train, 5 min from town center, right across the street from an awesome library and Nemo museum. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to family and friends. Hopefully next time we'all have time to use the 2 kayaks that are free to use. :)

This was our first visit to Amsterdam. The houseboat was just what we wanted. It was in a great location. Near the train station & easy to walk everywhere. Otis was a great host. Answered all our questions & was always available. We would love to return

I have been to Amsterdam a number of times and I think this was my most enjoyable. Having such a serene and beautiful spot to retreat to after the hectic city centre has changed the way I look at visiting capital cities. The boat is beautiful, rustically reclaimed with a very cosy feel. My girlfriend and I have already recommended it to friends and I'm sure we will be back.

Thank you Otis (and Hans)

My stay in the Liberty boat went very well, the location is great, the boat is very comfortable. Otis was very welcoming and friendly, she was there for any information. This is an atypical accommodation that I strongly recommend.

Liberty è veramente il massimo dello charme e per due personè che non hanno esigenza di cucinare è perfetto. Le altezze basse non disturbano. lo consiglio a single e coppie che amano questo genere di sistemazione.

Loved staying on the houseboat! Just as described and in a great central location!

Absolutely loved the house boat, it was in a great location not far from the action yet far enough for some peace and quiet. Loved sitting on the deck watching the world go by. The boat itself was charming and rustic, loved the shower. 

The host was fantastic, very chilled even let us have a late check out.

Going to miss Amsterdam..

It was great staying on a houseboat in Amsterdam.  The houseboat was in a great location, getting use to the smaller quarters took a little but we adjusted easily enough. The use of the deck of the boat to hang out and watch the boat traffic on the canal was great. Highly recommend. Super close to the train station.

I always wanted to visit Amsterdam and live on a house boat. Well, that was awesome!! We stayed for 3 nights and loved the stay. Perfect located, right in the center, you just cross the street and enter old town area of Amsterdam. All you need is on the boat.
If you are a couple it is good to know that the beds are seperated ;-) but for a few nights it might be OK, too.
