Clean, light and airy and a perfect location.

The house boat was perfect, the location was ideal - a short walk to all Amsterdam's attractions and far enough from the main action for a peaceful, relaxing visit. Clean and bright with everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable, I would highly recommend it.

A great Amsterdam hidden treasure

This is a real jem of a place to stay. Really well laid out the houseboat has a natural flow to it and with its bohemian decor, has a really cool vibe to it. Excellently equipped also with all you could want for your stay, a full kitchen with oven, hob and microwave. coffee maker, toaster and breakfast bar. A sunken corner bath with shower, and a big double bed looking out down the canal. It is a really great location too, really quiet and peaceful, yet close to some really interesting neighbourhoods to explore and still not too far from the centre of the city. Plenty of local bars and cafes within a short walk. All in all a place that just made you feel welcome and at home, can't wait to return Howard and Sheila

Fabulous! We are lucky to have found this treasure

Our stay at the houseboat could not have been better. Our entire family had a wonderful time. Jack graciously provided info to help us enjoy our stay, both before we arrived and upon arrival, with a detailed welcome book describing the the history of the houseboat, the amenities on the boat, and in the neighborhood. The house was in perfect condition -- immaculate and equipped with everything from full kitchen, to toiletries, to snacks in the fridge, wine and coffee. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, as well as offering restaurants, cinema, grocery, etc just around the corner. Easy walking distance to the center of town and the metro and tram lines. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings on the outdoor patio on the canal -- what a treat to sty on a boat. And we especially enjoyed reading the Boat People during our stay, to get a taste of what boat living means in Amsterdam. Not only would we recommend this to anyone vacationing in Amsterdam, but we hope we are lucky enough to return! Thanks for everything, Jack.
