    Relaxing Amsterdam Break

    Really enjoyed our experience of staying in a house boat in Amsterdam.   The boat was very well located, in a quiet canal, not far from the main tourist attactions and tram stations.

    Our welcome was very warm, and we appreciated the flexibility of our host regarding the checkout time.

    Accomodation was comfortable for the 3 of us.  Kitchen and bathroom clean and well equiped - and we appreciated the complimentary tea & coffee!

    Thank you to our hosts for this charming experience.

    Truely lovely

    My husband and I spent 5 days here. It was well located in the quiet and peaceful end of Brouwersgracht with many nearby restaurants, supermarkets and Norder-markets. Very easy to walk to visit tourist spots. 

    We love the open plan living and the very comfy bed. Everything else in the houseboat was as described.

    Thank you Gwen for a wonderful stay in Amsterdam.

    Jordaan Houseboat

    The houseboat is in a great location in the Jordaan area. The owners are easy to deal with and responsive to questions.

    The houseboat had a charm to it and was very private being on a quiet stretch of the canal

    Amazing

    My first stay in Amsterdam,whit my son and on a houseboat. The boat was beautiful, and there was everything we needed. Also some welcome gifts, some cookies and a very cold beer, its was great.The owner Gwen was very helpful with what ever we ask for. The bed and the blankets was very good, we sleep as babys. The houseboat was near everything, so we could walk to all the things we would see. After a day walking, its was great to take a long warm bath in the bathtub. The kitchen had all we needed, and we was very glad for the coffee machine. the weather was great sun and 18 degrees so we opened the door to the kanals and sad in the doorway and just enjoy life.  Amazing.

    I will come back to Amsterdam on  holiday and on this houseboat again
