Houseboat description
Staying on this 100 year old former freight ship is like nothing else. Experience the houseboat life in your private studio with everything one could wish for. Enjoy the wonderful views of the city skyline from your private sundeck and watch the swans, ducks and small ships pass by.
Whilst being in a quiet part of the city centre, there are many popular destinations within walking distance. Think of the Dappermarket, Artis Zoo, IJ beer brewery, and lots of great bars and restaurants.
Enjoy your own private space in this studio with all the amenities to have a comfortable and pleasant stay. You will sleep like a baby in the comfortable double bed, far away from tourist masses so you won't be bothered by them at all. Furthermore we offer a nice bathroom with a wonderful rain shower, sink and toilet. Soft towels, big and small, are included.
There is also a kitchenette, with a fridge, water boiler and coffee machine. It's not huge but very suitable to prepare a simple meal. Basic needs like tea, coffee, milk, sugar and more are provided.
We, the owner, lives on the boat so if you have any questions or wishes, we're there. We know Amsterdam and love to give you tips about where to go and what to do when you visit Hollands capital.
During the hot summer days you can go swimming in the canal, like many locals do. And during the winter you are assured to be comfortably warm since the studio is very well insulated and equipped with central heating.
Last but not least we want you to know that we have great public transport connections. So you can get to any corner of the city easily. We also have two rental bikes available in case you want to travel 'Amsterdam style'.
PS Please note: We will not be liable to you or to any other person for any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind whatsoever and howsoever caused by staying on our boat and surroundings.

About the area
We live in a quiet part of town. Wide water, close to city center. The view of Hollands largest wooden windmill and amongst our neighbors is Amsterdam's most popular brewery "het IJ", a daily market (Dappermarkt) and the Artis Zoo.
There are also many ethnic shops and ' hip' restaurants& gin & tonic bars nearby. "Indische Buurt" which is known for it's turkish and maroccan markets and shops.
Tropenmuseum , Verzetsmuseum & Scheepvaart museum, Botanic garden
The nights are quiet here and when you are having your morning coffee/breakfast, you might get unexpected visits from a local swan family or a flock of ducks looking for some hand-outs.
