The studio is part of a whole houseboat, totally private from the other part of the houseboat. It has beautiful large sliding windows which gives you the most amazing view across the canal at the 400 year old warehouses with their beautiful colorful shutters.

The studio has a very comfortable double bed with a ceiling fan for the warmer nights. It also has central heating. A tv with Netflix. It has a small ‘kitchenette’ with fridge, microwave, coffeemachine teakettle but WITHOUT a sink. 
There is a small seating area in front of the large window.

Being on the canal gives you a free feeling. A nice suggestion is to rent a little pleasure boat yourself and go boating in the canals.

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.

    What a privilege to live here!

    Just a quick review from the airport before we head back to DownUnder ;-) Thanks for having us, and big thumbs up for the love and work you have put into your floating home. We are grateful to have stayed in your houseboat for a few days and will never forget the tranquility, the great neighborhood and the experience of living on the water in general. Highly recommended!

    Lovely Houseboat

    Very cozy stay for 2 people, right on the canal in a peaceful area. In walk/bike range to touristic attractions. Recommend 10/10!

    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.

    Unfortunately too expensive for what is offered Show original

    Unfortunately, the boat was not properly heated and therefore smelled of moisture. The shower was moldy, the toilet lid was broken. The cleaning lady came too early on the last day, which was not very pleasant for us either. The current location is nice and central. All in all ok, but unfortunately too expensive for what it is.

    Hello Julia, I am sorry that your stay was disappointing. We strive to make our guests as comfortable as possible, which is reflected in our high rating. It is very unfortunate that you did not heat the boat properly and it was therefore damp. But there is central heating on board, with a thermostat that you can turn up and down. So you can make it as warm as you want and then there is no damp feeling. Too bad you didn't just turn up the thermostat, then you wouldn't have this problem. We will fix the other things as soon as possible. I hope you still had a great time in beautiful Amsterdam.
    Sincerely, Danielle

    Amazing

    We absolutely loved staying here. Perfect location in a quiet part of the city but with choice of restaurants and bars nearby. The unit has its own entrance from the rest of the boat so completely self contained. Highly recommend!
