Cool experience, beautiful little home!

Pros: The idea and set up is cool! The location is super easy to get to, everything you need is in walking distance and the view from the windows is amazing ! You don’t need a t.v, it’s easy to spend hours just watching the birds on the water and the life of the city. The house was clean and fully catered to every household item you would need - there’s extra heating, fans, blankets, pillows, all the kitchen necessities. We really couldn’t have asked for a better location that felt like home. We have been travelling through Europe for over 3 weeks by this point, moving through hotel after hotel, but this one is different because it felt more like a home, which is what we wanted at this point of travelling. Uber from the airport to the property, easy and effortless. The host was very welcoming and checked in to make sure everything is going well. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Amsterdam!

Cons: N/A

The most magical stay

Pros: This place is spectacular, we stayed here for two weeks and it offers all the facilities you could need. Jenny the host was amazing, she communicated so well via WhatsApp and checked in half way through our stay. The boat itself is perfect, so clean and the view is unbeatable. We could have just stayed in and watched the world go by! We would one hundred percent stay here again! Thank you Jenny for such a wonderful stay

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Our stay was fantastic! The views were amazing and we loved watching the boats and the ducks while enjoying our morning coffee and all the lights at night. The houseboat was comfortable and unique with all the amenities you could need. The location was a perfect spot for quick access to the tram and some great restaurants nearby. It was also a great location for visiting the University of Amsterdam (daughter was in a study abroad program and at the Social Hub nearby). It was a perfect start to our trip through Europe. Thanks for a great and memorable stay!
