Timo & Florieke's houseboat is just awesome! We loved this place SO much and one of the best AirBnB we ever stay in as it is more of an experience and an adventure rather than simply an accommodation. It's quirky and fun to inhabit the space and you are really living in a way that is specific to Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Forget the soulless hotel rooms and the for-AirBnB-only apartments, this is as real and authentic as it gets. The houseboat is very large with several separate spaces, and the ceilings are mostly tall enough even for someone like me (1.90m). Everywhere the sweet sensibility of Timo & Florieke comes across. Lounging on the upper deck you feel like you are in the centre of Amsterdam and the whole city -with its boats, bicycles, trams and cars- rotates around you.
It’s magical. It’s also intense, and you get some wobbling. Yet we are so glad we went for it and we’ll never forget these wonderful few days we slept on the Amstel river.
