Flip's place was AMAZING!!! If you are looking at any other apartment or house boat in Amsterdam just STOP and book this one now!
The boat's location is outside of the city center which is great for peace & quiet. His boat itself is super cute and perfect for a couple! Just a small note: I'm 5'4 and my boyfriend is 6'. I could easily stand on every level, but my boyfriend had to slouch a little on the first floor where the steering wheel is and on the bottom where the bed is. That was no issue though since we didn't spend a lot of time in there anyway and he could stand in the middle floor if he needed to :)
Three concerns you may have that I had:
1) The shower is great/like a normal shower, including water pressure
2) the toilet is like a normal one as well ( a little loud if you flush at night and your partner is a light sleeper)
3) Even though you're on a boat, you can't tell. aka you shouldn't get "boat legs" or feel nauseous
Aside from the location and the boat itself, my other absolute favorite part was the thoughtful breakfast he provided every morning. Everything was DELICIOUS and it was so amazing and convenient to have it just ready for us every morning so we could get our day going ASAP! He's very considerate of your privacy and makes sure the time he drops off the breakfast works for you.
He also provided two bikes which was incredible. We literally took them EVERYWHERE. The only slightly negative thing I can say is the girl's bike/smaller bike was a little squeaky/old, but it worked just fine!
There was also a super close bus stop, but we never used it aside from when we first arrived.
another side note: If you get back late/want to stay in, UberEATS delivers there as well :)
I hope I didn't leave anything out! I would 100% stay there again for a future visit, and hope that I can!
Seriously! Book this now!
