    Very very nice...

    We had a very very nice stay on the houseboat. It is very cozy and perfect for a romantic trip to Amsterdam. The location in Jordaan is very nice as well with its multiple bars and restaurants. The booking was easy and hand-over without any problems. I will definitely come back!

    Amsterdam accommodations at its finest

    We had a warm welcome from Dido and loved the entire stay. The house boat stay was the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. We were able to sit on the canal side and watch the boats go by and wave at all of the tourists. It was the perfect location to many markets and coffee shops and super central within walking distance to pretty much everything. The boat was clean and fresh and had every amenity. Thank you Claire for a fabulous stay!!

    Cool houseboat at a relaxed location in Amsterdam

    Really cool place not far from the Amsterdam City itself. We walked about 20 minutes at a leisurely pace. The boat itself is very clean and well kept. A privillege to stay at. The owners are very friendly and lenient with check-in and out times. We even got a nice welcoming present. Definitely recommended if you want to visit the city but don't want to to stay near the busy streets.

    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.
