We could not have found a better location. We sat on the deck watching all the Kings Day boats float by. It was such a fantastic experience! We were within walking distance of all the museums, shops and restaurants. Loved the houseboat so much!

United States of AmericaThe spectacular view and being right on the water! The Nespresso machine made delicious coffee/espresso. Our host was very accommodating, communicated clearly before we arrived giving step by step instructions. He was available for anything we needed during the trip. The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The location is close enough to all the main attractions but far enough away to be out of the touristy sections of town.

United States of AmericaOur host Andrew was most accommodating not only in allowing us to arrive a bit early but also with parking. His staff should also be thanked for helping with our luggage. Really enjoyed the healthy breakfast delivered each morning! It was also nice to meet our “boat mates” and spend time on the deck enjoying the passing boats and the local visitors (ducks egret and such). The location was also convenient to a local grocery and tram.

United States of AmericaThe boat itself was quite comfortable for our family of 4. We loved being on the water! Great location (next to a bar but noise was not a problem during our stay.) Nice bakeries and restaurants, laundromat (bring your own soap!) within easy walking distance. Metro/ public transit 5 min walk. There was a mix up with breakfast one morning and Andrew responded to our text messages promptly, apologized and kindly brought us croissants the next morning.

We are coming from the US and will need to use converters for our phone rechargers and C-Paps. Will this have any negative effect on the electrical wiring on your boat?

In the bustling heart of Amsterdam, you will find an oasis of peace in the midst of all the hustle and bustle. Floating on the river Amstel you get to know the water world that made the city of Amsterdam so famous. The birds, swans, boats, fishermen, rowers and the terrace in the sun make this place unique place.
After owning and starting several businesses, the houseboat in November 2017 came on my path. The long-cherished wish to live on an ark in the middle of the city came true. The best of both worlds: sparkling and yet nature and tranquility.
The contact with people from all over the world is really the joy of running the B & B. Sharing the unique feeling of waking up on a boat is very valuable.
The boat is situated in the middle of a couple of nice neighborhoods. Both the Center, the Pijp and East are within walking distance. The various restaurants, cafes, museums, squares and markets make the atmosphere in the neighborhood excellent. There is something for everyone and nobody ever gets bored.
Little Amstel is close to a metro station (Weesperplein) and a tram stop (lines 1, 4, 7, 16).
