We really enjoyed our stay on this amazing houseboat. It is quite a unique, authentic Dutch experience away from the hustle and bustle of central Amsterdam. The house itself is very spacious and practical, with a lovely deck on the canal that is perfect for jumping off for a swim or using the paddleboard. The location is great, about 15mins walk to the NSDM terminal from where there are frequent ferries to Amsterdam Central. This is a very unspoilt, untouristy part of Amsterdam, but it also feels quite hip thanks to the amazing Straatsmuseum which we loved. But most of the time we simply enjoyed hanging out on the deck of the houseboat, going for long swims in the canal and watching the little boats go up and down the canal all day long. Niels was an excellent host and made sure that we were OK and happy with our stay. We would thoroughly recommend this lovely houseboat and hope come back for another stay some time.
