We stayed in Doet and Sven’s houseboat for three nights in April 2019. Sven gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived. We were visiting Amsterdam for the first time, intending to see the sights and sounds of the City. The room is part of the houseboat that Doet and Sven’s family live in. You have your own lockable door and private shower room/toilet. There is a comfortable double bed, with a table and chairs looking out onto the canal. The room has a small fridge and tea/coffee making facilities, there is also a good WiFi connection. We found the room very cosy and peaceful. The main tourist sites are around a 20 minute walk away – there are some local shops, including a great café, around a 5 minute walk away. Doet was very kind to allow us to leave our bags at the houseboat during the day before we caught our evening flight back to London. We really enjoyed our stay on Doet and Sven’s houseboat and would love to come back again one day.
