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.

    On the water

    The houseboat was truly a unique way to visit the city. It is in the Jordaan area, which is quieter, but still has many nice restaurants to choose from. Realize that the area is very small, but if you can put that aside and just enjoy the boat and view, you will have an extraordinary time.

    Very nice weekend in Amsterdam Show original

    It is a very nice and clean houseboat. The boat looks exactly like the pictures. The main train station and therefore the center can be reached in 10-15 minutes on foot. The owner can also be reached at any time to answer any questions. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend it.

    Beautiful boat, perfect location

    I loved my stay on Danielle's boat! It is the absolute PERFECT location in Amsterdam, on a lovely canal, close to so many great shopping areas, Westerpark, and the center of the city. The houseboat has everything 1 or 2 people will need for a trip, including a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, hot place, some cooking equipment, coffee machine, cleaning supplies, and more. The bed was very comfy. I loved opening the sliding door completely and sitting right by the canal, or you can walk on the small porch, sit on the bench, or sit with your feet in the water and watch the boats go by. Everything I needed was provided, I can't wait to come back!
