How to get there

Amsterdam Airport is close to the city, it will take 20 minutes by taxi. The train will run 4x an hour and takes you 15 minutes and walking from the station about 10/15 minutes to the houseboat.

About the area

The area is ‘the Jordaan’. There is a twice weekly market/farmers market just opposite and around the corner of the houseboat. Many restaurants, cafes, outdoor terraces and shops around. Many sights close by. Supermarket and grocery stores very close. The famous Haarlemmerdijk is just 200 meters away. It is a very happy, fun loving, bustling area and yet not as busy as other parts of Amsterdam. Sometimes the canal looks and feels like a 18th century fishing village.

    An Awesome Experience!

    When you visit a city full of canals, why not stay right on the canal? So I stayed in this houseboat and enjoyed it immensely. The houseboat is located on a quiet canal in a quiet neighbourhood yet close to the train station, central Amsterdam and shopping areas. And of course there are bars and restaurants everywhere. The bed was comfortable; the room was bright and airy; and the bathroom was very clean with good water pressure in the shower. The best part about this houseboat was the huge sliding glass door. I kept it open the whole time and watched the world go by: small tour boats, rowing boats and the local ducks and swans. What a pleasure to stay here!

    It was perfect

    The boat was perfect - in the middle of Amsterdam, the housekeeper is very kind. Everything was like we were told before and it was very clean.

    We would stay again

    This is a great location. Check-in was smooth. Room was what we expected. If you are looking for a large area to move around, this is not for you. We have an RV, so same. The only issue was a little mold on the curtains. We will book here again if we return.

    Great stay at a very cool houseboat

    My wife and I spent three nights on Patricia’s houseboat. We have never had such great communication and attention from a host before. The home had just been moved from a different spot, so there were a couple of minor items that still needed attention, but nothing that affected our stay. Nestled in a very cool part of Amsterdam, the neighbourhood provides everything you could need, and instead of wandering too far, we elected to stay in the area and be one of the locals. Thanks for everything. If we come back, we will check to see if the place is available.
