Wonderful, warm and welcoming - that is the best way to describe our houseboat. Enjoy the personal interior design, a great sauna and wonderful terrace. Located in Old West, one of the most fascinating and versatile area's in Amsterdam, you have great connection to the Jordaan, City Centre and even the other side of town thanks to superb public transport connections.
Designing the perfect houseboat was a wonderful journey. The result is a true home, designed to create everlasting memories with your beloved ones. We have chosen to use a lot of natural materials. The floor, doors and mostly vintage furniture are made of wood and throughout the house you will find lots of funny little stuff that we found along the way, creating a very personal atmosphere.
The living room is the true heart of the boat. Lots of daylight enter the boat via both the large waterside windows and the design ceiling windows on the back side of the dining area. During the night you can adjust the many soft tone ceiling lights according to your needs. The large sofa is a wonderful place to relax; snuggle up with your beloved ones and enjoy the large flatscreen tv.
On the water side you will find a charming terrace where you can enjoy the water life passing by. Of course the swans, ducks and geese, but also all kinds of small boats that use the Amsterdam canals.
Does the weather not permit to enjoy the terrace? Be free to use our indoor sauna! Furthermore you will find a luxury bathroom with large bath, shower and large sink for your convenience.
The U-shaped kitchen is equipped with everything you may expect to find in a modern and high end apartment. A large 4-burner gas stove to prepare your own meal (at least if you are not tempted to eat out in one of the many great restaurants within a few minutes walking) and a grill - oven combination, fridge and freezer are at your disposal.
We have two bedrooms, one with a very comfortable super kingsize double bed to ensure a great night rest and the other one has a comfotable quen size bed. So do you travel with two couples or two kids? No problem!
Not only the beds contribute to this, but also the quietness of our canal at night. You are close to many interesting places, yet you won't be bothered by tourist masses at all. Yes, we do live in quite an undiscovered gem in the city centre.
When exploring our neighborhood you should really visit the Foodhallen (don't eat in advance!), the Westerpark and of course the Jordaan area. We personally love to walk, but public transport takes you to all corners of the city very easily. The Vondelpark and Museum Square are just minutes away, as well as the Anne Frank House and Leidse Square.
We hope to have given you the best possible impression of our lovely houseboat, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions - always glad to help!
Quiet and safe neighborhood
