    Outstanding boathouse

    Outstanding boathouse, we loved the house, the bikes, the boat, feeding the ducks & swans from our window. This stay is an experience, highly recommend. And the best B&B host EVER!

    Houseboat was very nice Show original

    The houseboat was very nice, very well maintained and is located right on a street, the parking lot is just across the street within walking distance. Bed linen, towels, a nice kitchen with everything you need and a large fridge are available, perfect. Amsterdam is very easy to reach by car, due to my disability we didn't try public transport, but the train station/bus stop is very easy to reach and close by.

    Communication with Anouk was great, she reacted very quickly to questions and answered very detailed and friendly, top! The electric motorboat is also very nice, you can use it to explore the surrounding area. All in all, the houseboat is highly recommended and a special experience, for example in the morning you are greeted by swans and ducks at the large window! The only thing is that the nearby road is sometimes quite busy, but that doesn't bother you at night, for example, we slept really well. Best wishes Philipp

    Anouk's accommodation is really great Show original

    Anouk's accommodation is really great! An Airbnb that is out of the ordinary and close to Amsterdam! We loved our stay and our children enjoyed the barge. Anouk is very responsive and the self-check-in is really great. We would like to stay there again during the nice weather because we unfortunately could not take advantage of the boat provided due to the weather. In summary, I recommend this accommodation for those who love nature and who also want to enjoy the city center of Amsterdam!
