Edwin was a wonderful host! He had lots of suggestions for activities and places to eat and made himself available for any questions during our stay. While we ended up not needing it, he also offered to hold our luggage for an extra hour after checkout to help with our transportation planning. The houseboat is located a ferry’s ride from central Amsterdam and it runs 24 hours, which is extremely convenient. The houseboat has everything you need. Loved staying here and would definitely stay here again.

Ferry ride to central station and the sights in Amsterdam was very easy to do. Kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately the nearby laundromat was not open during our stay. Great for two couples

This was such a charming property conveniently located near the train station with access to a ferry. It was so nice to be close to that area while also in a more unique setting. Edwin was such a fantastic host. I communicated with him several times leading up to our arrival, and he always responded promptly. He also provided many tips for our brief stay. Upon our arrival, he also took the time to give us some more information about Amsterdam's layout. He truly appreciated his efforts.

We had a great stay at this property. The property was exactly as advertised and was just right for three people. It certainly was close to the center of Amsterdam but far enough to be quiet. I would certainly stay here again.

Unique and Relaxing Stay on a Houseboat

Staying on this houseboat was a unique and relaxing experience, offering beautiful canal views and a peaceful atmosphere. The location was ideal—close to the city center yet quiet enough to enjoy some tranquility. The hosts were very friendly and provided great local tips, making our visit even better.

Excellent little apartment. My only recommendations would be to have screens on the back door to prevent mosquitos and another fan. A small microwave would have been nice but not necessary. I would recommend and stay there again.
