My wife and I absolutely loved this place! We really felt like we got the experience of living like a local. The pictures of the houseboat are accurate and the boat has everything you could need for a stay in Amsterdam. Great bed! The location was fantastic. We felt like we were walking distance to everything in the city. I think the thing we liked the best was that although we were a short distance from the hustle of Amsterdam, the houseboat itself is on a very quiet and peaceful canal. Mornings there are very quiet and we slept great! There is a grocery store within a 5 minute walk(Spar) and some good bars/restaurants less than a 5 minutes walk. Communications with Albert were easy. Check-in was a breeze. Wifi worked great. The best part of the houseboat for us was the terrace, we really liked getting our day started with a cup of coffee out there hanging out with a few of the ducks and a swan that frequent the canal. and It is also a great way to end a day of sightseeing with hanging out on terrace and drinking a beer and relaxing.
My wife and I highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again on our next visit to Amsterdam. We felt it was a great value for the money as well when compared to local hotel rooms. Do yourself a favor and book this houseboat if it is available!
Parking everywhere in Amsterdam is very challenging and expensive. We felt like we found a great reliable place to park at the Q-Park Metrostation Oost, it was 5-10 minute walk from the house with spots always available.
Thank you Albert for a great stay!!
