Staying in a houseboat in Amsterdam was truly unique. The boat itself has everything you'll need - a fully equipped kitchen with a stove, mini-fridge, sink, kitchenware, and 2 coffee machines!, a dining table, TV with DVD player, books, desk area, bathroom with hot water, and a comfortable bed. The patio sitting area is just a plus. My husband and I enjoyed a couple of evenings just relaxing in the patio area and taking in the view. The location is just close enough to Central Station (~15 minute walk to tram 26 and a 15 min tram ride), and is just far enough to enjoy some peace and tranquility. There's a supermarket across the street with a restaurant inside. We really enjoyed their fresh produce.
Ton was an amazing host! He waited for us to arrive in our Uber to show us how to get to the houseboat and gave us all the tips we needed for our stay. He even left some eggs, cheese, beer, bread, and the most delicious jam in our fridge! He really went above and beyond by letting us wash our clothes in his houseboat next door. Thank you, Ton for your amazing hospitality!
We highly recommend you staying here and experiencing Amsterdam like a local.
