With my husband and our 2 children (3 and 5 years old), we enjoyed very much this houseboat. It's clean, with the necessary equipments and it's pleasant to be close to water. We rent bikes and that way the location was perfect: with the ferries you are quickly in the center and at the same time you're not far from nice places like NDSM.
The communication with Edwin was perfect and he cares about giving good tips and information.
We recommand this place!
Man kann sehr gut drauĂen sitzen und es ist sehr ruhig. Auf dem Steg/KĂŒche hat man Morgensonne, beim Doppelzimmer Nachmttagssonne. Das Doppelbett fanden wir sehr bequem. Man kann gut zu FuĂ zur FĂ€hre laufen.Parken kann man sehr gut in der Ranonkelkade.
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.
Great place to stay! 10min walk from downtown. The outdoor patio was a great space to enjoy while there. Edwin was super friendly and gave us some great tips on where to go and even a little history on the area. One of the first things you should know is that this is a carved out space of the boat house, it is not a house on its own. If you like to get rest during the day(like we tried), there was a lot of noise from a neighbor doing construction and on another night while in the bedroom around 8pm you can hear a full conversation being had from the room upstairs which kept me from getting rest. There are no TVs on the property and it did feel very small, trying to get 4 luggages packed before leaving was a Challenge as you barely had enough floor or tablebspace to lay things out. This is not a place for people who don't like tight quarters. Another thing that seemed like a miss was that we were only provided 2 rolls of TP for a group of 4 for 2 nights which is just annoying that you have to go out and find TP somewhere because host didn't provide enough. They did provide shampoo and one set of towels we had to reuse throughout the stay. Overall I'd say this is ok but I'm not sure it's made entirely clear by the property description that you are not in a house on its own, you are sharing a house boat with its own entrance and closed off living space and kitchen.
Very nice stay om Edwin's houseboat. Location is very good in a quit canal on the North side but still close to Central Station. 10 min walk to the free ferry witch run 24/7.The apartment is well equipped. There is heated floors and a nice bathroom.
We arrived in Amsterdam as the final leg of a 17 day European vacation. Check in and out was easy, Edwin was a wealth of info and the home is spotless. We happened to be there one day that the weather was horrible - cold, rain and VERY high winds,,,a perfect crash day for us to stay inside and rest. Comfy beds. Walking distance from the central train station and a grocery store nearby.
Very comfortable stay on a modern house boat- highly recommended. The rooms are cosy and we had all we needed with some lovely personal touches. There was even an Christmas tree for us. Edwin was a great host and very considerate with good communication. The location is good and the free ferry from the Central Station works really well- we never waited more than a minute or two.
Fantastic stay in the perfect location for exploring
The boat itself is great for a cozy stay. Itâs nice and warm and in great condition. There are 4 single beds that are together to essentially create 2 doubles so itâs a bit cozy if youâre sharing with friends. The location is perfect as itâs just about a 10min walk from the free 24/7 ferry into the centre. Theres also plenty to see on the north side of the river. Would highly recommend this stay.
