Houseboat summary

The Brouwersgracht has been chosen more then once to be the most beautiful canal in Amsterdam. 2 minutes away you will find: the Haarlemmerstraat and its extension, the Haarlemmerdijk - is a gem!

Offering independent boutiques and specialty stores, little salons, trendy but affordable restaurants and bars and the oldest cinema in Amsterdam, this area will certainly appeal to the most jaded of world-travelers.

You are guaranteed to find a special little gift from Amsterdam in this alternative shopping district. And with a constant passing parade along the Haarlemmerstraat, you can spend a very entertaining afternoon just watching the world go by.


The houseboat is located in the very heart of the historical Jordaan. Originally a working-class neighborhood, the Jordaan has become one of the most expensive, upscale locations in the Netherlands. It is home to many art galleries, particularly for modern art, and is also dotted with specialty shops and restaurants.

Markets are held regularly at Noordermarkt, the Westerstraat (the Lapjesmarkt a textile market) and Lindengracht.

Rembrandt spent the last years of his life in the Jordaan, on the Rozengracht canal. He is buried in the Westerkerk church, at the corner of Rozengracht and Prinsengracht, in walking distance from our boat.
The Anne Frank House is also located nearby, on the Prinsengracht canal.

    I let love in.

    My wife and I spent our 40th wedding anniversary in our favourite city and on the sweet little houseboat Love and Light and couldn't think of anywhere more delightful and more fitting for an intimate romantic holiday hideaway on the quite gentle canal of the Brouwersgracht in the heart of the Jordan, we had a wonderful time in Love and Light and Claire and Gwen we would like to say a great big thank you for letting us stay on your sweet little houseboat x.

    Great houseboat in Jordaan

    Location is excellent! Gwen met us and check in was easy and quick. Boat is clean and has everything you need. Close walk to central station and most other sites around Amsterdam. Location is in quieter part of Amsterdam and less tourists, which is nice. Would highly recommend this houseboat and we hope to stay there again!

    Nice stay! Show original

    Nice neighborhood, good bed, cozy and convenient interior. Fine kitchen equipment. A dishwasher! And a good ear from the owner for the tips we had about 'corona proof'. Just on a houseboat; a truly special experience. And worth repeating.
