For the people that are really looking for an authentic piece of Amsterdam and at the same time want to stay outside of the touristic chaos while still being close to everything... look no further, this is the place. As ‘Amsterdammers’ ourselves we were looking for a charming staycation and hit the jackpot with this place. The houseboat apartment has been built by the owners themselves which gives the place a personal touch. The boat is located in a spacious area with all day sun. As said, the place is close to the city Centre and central station and perfect for daytrips. And to top it all off, the owners have been absolutely wonderful. First of all they have been very sweet and gave us a feeling of being welcome. As there were no guests the next day, they have been unusually relaxed with the checkout time and really allowed us to enjoy our morning. They have been even more remarkable when we had an unfortunate accident by dropping our phone in the water...they really did everything in their power to get it back... and succeeded! We can’t thank them enough for everything they did and they will most certainly see us back in the future!!!
