Kim 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Perfect place for a short city break

Pros: A great location with easy access to the centraal station and metro system. Very peaceful setting. Fabulous breakfast! Mark and Anna were very welcoming. Yes, the room is small but we used the communal lounge so it was not a problem. The cabin and communal areas were spotlessly clean. Communication was quick and helpful.

Cons: I can't think of anything we didn't like

Water is life

Pros: If you want something special and you are into boats, than this is it! Excellent. Great couple Anna and Mark are helpful and very kind!

Cons: It’s a small cabin, not for conference calls or longer stays. But if you want something special, that is it!

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: What an amazing way to stay in Amsterdam, the city of the canals, right on water with wonderful views: right opposite Nemo Science Museum! So close to the Amsterdam Central station and city centre, all walking distance. The hosts were amazingly accommodating and warm, looked after me and other guests so well, each day prepared the most delicious fresh breakfast. The rooms and communal areas were all clean, fresh and comfortable, with fresh tea/coffee, fruits and cookies. I can't praise it enough! Would love to stay there again!

Amazing experience, wonderful hosts. Great idea!!!

Pros: This is a stay for someone who is looking to experience something different. Mark and Anna are wonderful hosts and you will feel thoroughly welcome here. The breakfast that they make is full of love and so is the experience. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to stay on the famous Amsterdam Canals close to all the action and enjoy Amsterdam from the water.

Cons: Since this is a boat, the rooms are small
