We were keen to stay in a houseboat while in Amsterdam and Dennis Hoeke's place was ideal. The location is very convenient to several different tram lines and buses. Two grocery stores are a few minutes walk. You can't beat the neighborhood, the Intercontinental Hotel is directly across the Amstel. I was amazed at how spacious the houseboat is. There is a very large kitchen and dining area that is well equipped The lounge area has two floor to ceiling windows that provide a fantastic view, allows for people watching and boat watching. The master bedroom is adequate size and the bed is very comfortable. In really hot weather it could be stuffy since it is on the lower level and the windows are small. However for us it was just right. A nice bath/ shower and double sink bathroom with wc open on to the bedroom. The main floor has another bedroom with child size bunk beds. Perfect for a family and in their notes for the Airbnb guests, the families' children have kindly offered the use of their toys while visiting. On the main floor there is a sink / toilet combination. Two boats are moored in front of the houseboat and we climbed out and ate our breakfast on the smaller boat. Talk about being on the water!! We stayed on a Sunday and Monday and did not find the surrounding area noisy. If you have a car there is an area in front of the houseboat where you can unload you belongings but you would need to park long term else where. The family has provided a very helpful note book on how to operate electronics and appliances in the houseboat. It also includes suggestions for places to eat and suitable activities for children.
I would most definitely recommend this houseboat.
