Description from owner

Description

My houseboat is a lovely, luxurious, quiet and comfortable place to stay in the historic centre of Amsterdam, close to Royal Carré Theater, Hermitage, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and lots of other famous tourist places and last but not least the Amstel river. Enjoy Amsterdam from within!

The houseboat offers you a tastefull bedroom, a modern bathroom, a luxurious kitchen and a warm, comfortable living room with a beautifull canal view.

Experience authentique Amsterdam and enjoy the view and quiet atmosphere from behind the spacious windows or by using the private terrace.

My place is a very stable, solid constructed and well maintained houseboat. I like to share my boat with guests from all over the world, because it's such a unique place and typical Amsterdam way of living.

I look forward welcoming you as guests!

House rules

As required by the City of Amsterdam, I need to register the names and addresses of my guests. Please help me to comply with this rule and send me your details while requesting or making a reservation.

Please respect the night rest of my dear neighbours and don't make use of the terrace after 23.00 pm. The neighbourhood is really quiet and my boat is close to other houseboats. That's why it's such a lovely place! Please keep that in mind while staying in my houseboat.
