Amsterdam visit

Maarten was great to work with. The location was perfect and convenient to walk everywhere. The only thing that would have made the stay perfect, would be a bit of outdoor seating. Being able to sit outside and relax and watch boat traffic would have been wonderful. I’d stay here again.

Perfect One Night Stay

My husband and I wanted to stay somewhere different for our first time in Amsterdam and this houseboat did not disappoint. Marteen was a fantastic host and the place was a great walkable location to everything we wanted to see. We took the train from the airport and it was a quick walk from there. We highly recommend booking if you want a unique stay in an incredible city.

Great stay on the canal

Maarten’s boat on the canal was great. Unfortunately he wasn’t there when we went, however he had friends close to come help if we needed anything. Great and quick to communicate with. Place was very clean and had everything you’d need. Was a short walking distance to the city center and very close to the central train station.

Great room on a house boat! Complete with shower, fridge,TV with Netflix and a good sized bed. Although the boat was close to the centre, it was incredibly quiet and relaxing. Maarten provided us with clear instructions throughout. We would highly recommend.

A comfy place right by Amsterdam center

The listing was exactly as it was listed. A bed, a bathroom, and the comforts you need to keep you going as you experience Amsterdam (including a kettle and tea, appreciated after walking though the city). The host was very attentive and welcoming, which made our experience visiting Amsterdam that much more enjoyable. And its location near the city center let us see the sights and still come back to rest. Definitely would rent again.

Maarten, the host, is incredibly responsive and attentive. His quick replies to queries make the experience seamless. Accommodation: The rooms on this charming old ship are cosy and clean. Imagine waking up to the gentle sway of the water! The ship has been recently renovated, preserving its historic charm. Location: The B&B is strategically situated—not amidst the madness, but close enough to escape into the vibrant city. Although it’s called a Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast is served. But fear not—the nearby cafes and bakeries offer delightful morning treats. Just be aware that neighbors occasionally walk over the roof of the B&B on their way home—it’s all part of the ship-living experience! A quintessential Amsterdam experience for any traveller.
