Description from owner

Description

This cosy boat "LOVE AND LIGHT" is ideal for a couple looking for a special romantic getaway in Amsterdam. But is also possible to change the comfortable couch into another double bed, perhaps for your children or for friends traveling who prefer to sleep separate.

Entering this boat you find yourself in the kitchen area overlooking the historic canals of Amsterdam. Cooking the perfect pasta can be done in this fully equipped kitchen watching the swans swim by. In the middle of the boat you find a dining table, comfortable couch, music stereo and Kingsize bed.

Behind the bed is a large bath tub with shower build in the floor and a separate toilet. This boat comes with WIFI, a Flatscreen TV with DVD player, HBO movie channels, dishwashmachine, fresh towels and bed linnen.

It all makes you never want to go home again.

“Not so convincing - nicht so überzeugend”

Reviewed 16 Apr 2023

It is not so funny when in the middle of the night the owner tries to unlock the door of the houseboat because she forgot that the houseboat is rented. In addition, the heating gurgles and cracks quite properly when it runs. And at the shower there is a blind only at one window. It is missing on the other, so that the neighbor can watch while showering. Es ist nicht so lustig, wenn mitten in der Nacht die Eignerin versucht, dir Tür vom Hausboot aufzuschließen, weil sie vergessen hat, dass das Hausboot vermietet ist. Außerdem gluckert und knackt die Heizung ganz ordentlich, wenn sie läuft. Und an der Dusche gibt es nur an einem Fenster eine Jalousie. Am anderen fehlt sie , so dass der Nachbar beim Duschen zuschauen kann.
