This houseboat is not fancy - but it is as comfortable as being at a friend's cabin - we didn't want to leave. We had not stayed in Amsterdam before, so wanted our first few nights to be something unique. The boat was perfect! It was close walking to everything, yet it was quiet and relaxing once inside. Watching the crowded tourist boats traverse the river was a fun diversion. Our friends staying in a hotel were jealous of the roominess experienced on the boat. While we didn't cook, the kitchen was perfect for cheese, bread and wine. Definely recommend for those that don't want to be in a big bustling hotel, yet close to the action.

This houseboat is a nice change for a short stay, pricey but fun. The amenities are good, the furniture comfortable, the location convenient, and you can’t beat being right on the water. It’s a heavy tourist area, with lots of late night revelry and boat tours, ducks, swans and even a pair of herons, all at eye level. The owner is helpful with questions, no complaints about response time. Extra bedding would be good since we like to sleep with windows open and heat turned down, and the tiny “porches” felt pretty unsteady. Other than that, a delightful getaway.

The houseboat was very comfortable with large water level windows looking into the river. We would wave and smile at the sightseeing boats as they went by. We enjoyed the boat parade everyday. The boat does move with the wakes so sometimes it felt like a California earthquake. It took a day to get used to. The bed was very comfortable. It is in busy tourist area with a nightlife so you may want earplugs if you are a light sleeper. We enjoyed drinking champagne and having wine and cheese with the doors open in the evening people and bird watching and then all over again with coffee and pastries in the morning. There are markets and shops in walking distance and a tram stop very close that gets you anywhere. The rental team were responsive and accommodating which we appreciated. We really enjoyed ourselves and thought we had the best view of Amsterdam from the houseboat. Hope you will create lifetime memories of this fun and interesting city also. Just be careful of the darn bikes.

We stayed here for three nights. Should have been one more but for the misssed connecting flight to Amsterdam. The management offered to cancel our reservation and I am very glad we didn’t take them up on the offer. The house is central to everything. Rembrandt square and the cafes are just a block away. There is a little floating platform right in front of the large living room windows where you can sit right on the canal and observe the boats passing by. The manager was very resposive and shared lots of advices on how best to get here. Currently the street leading to the house is closed as it is being repaired.

This houseboat is in a great location, we walked all over Amsterdam from here. The kids loved it and we loved being directly on the canal. The group was very responsive to all of my questions about getting in and out of the city. It was great!

We didn’t want to leave the houseboat. Far superior to any hotel experience I have had in Amsterdam. Everything clean and working, bathroom is large and functional, kitchen has everything needed. Bed was comfortable, couch bed was fine. Would rent again next time for sure.

This place was exactly what we were expecting and more! There was quite the incident the day of our arrival, as someone knocked out the power to 28k customers in the area. It took overnight to finally get the power going, but we managed. The owner was very communicative with us and that was appreciated it. Other than that, the stay was absolutely incredible. If you like being in the action, this is definitely the spot for you. Rembrandtplein is always buzzing with activity. Yes, the boat is wide open to the canal, but who cares? There are plenty of curtains to close if you really feel like hiding from the world. No need, we actively enjoyed waving at tour boats that were streaming by the window. It was great to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sights and sounds. Everything is well appointed and functional. We would absolutely stay here again!
