Perfect family base for exploring Amsterdam
Pros: The houseboat was as pictured. Perfect for our family. I loved having morning coffee looking at the water and watching the ducks. I liked the decor and artwork. The coffee machine was excellent. We used the egg steamer to make boiled eggs for breakfast with toast. We used the microwave to heat up soup from the supermarket for dinner with a fresh baguette. It was close to a good sized Albert Hain supermarket. We walked into the centre and to all museums.
Cons: We needed more plates. One of the plates was so cracked we didn’t want to use it.

Pros: Everything felt very homely and cozy. The place was very clean. It seemed very quiet as well, which was nice. The TV had some nice options as well for streaming services. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was lovely.
Cons: It would get a bit hot inside, and there was no real way to regulate temperature.

3 nighter in the snow.
Pros: The houseboat was fantastic. Great small touches like enough coffee pods for the whole stay, shampoo and shower gel and games. This was a fabulous unique stay, close to trams, which we used a lot and vobdelpark so we could play in the snow during our stay. We also ate at the food hallen close by a couple of times which had a great atmosphere and large variety of food.
Cons: Nothing.

Best place to stay in Amsterdam.
Pros: This is one of our favourite places to stay. We loved feeding the ducks from our window. The location is amazing, so quiet yet close to lots of cafes, bars and shops. The fantastic Foodhallen is 5 minutes away and there is even a cinema just across the canal. Everything is within easy reach so we just walked to the sights however, the tram is only a few minutes walk. The houseboat itself was really comfortable and well equipped. I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Amsterdam.
Cons: The towels didn’t smell fresh but since there is a washing machine, we just put them through the wash. We were all bitten by something but I guess this is to be expected dating on the water.

Unique stay in a lovely residential part of Amsterdam, central areas easily accessible by tram.
Pros: In a quiet location with easy access to the rest of Amsterdam via tram or walking. Lovely to witness day to day life on the canal with boats going past, kids swimming, bird life enjoying the water. The host was easy to deal with. An initial issue encountered during our stay was rectified quickly.
Cons: The gate to the houseboat is not too obvious from the street. The house number is past the gate and fence so not actually visible until you have already accessed the property. The path to the locked gate is obscured by weeds, there wasn't adequate lighting and this posed an issue for us when we arrived late at night. A neighbour across the road tried to help but he couldn't find the entry either. We finaly found it after some searching. This is an issue that can be easily rectified, it seems a lot of other guests have also pointed this out already.

Unique, comfortable and well located
Pros: Great space, it was nicer and larger than we expected. It was great to chill and watch the canal boats go by or to sit outside on the deck. The curtains section the space well. Convenient location near the centre and vondelpark, and there’s a pretty suburb just over the nearest bridge.
Cons: It’s completely clean, but some of the furnishings mean the air can be a tiny bit dusty if that’s a concern for you, but we just opened the skylight window a touch and it was fine. It is a very minor ‘con’, on the whole everything was perfect.
