Modern yet cozy houseboat
My houseboat is a lovely, quiet and comfortable place to stay in Amsterdam, close to Carré Theater, Hermitage, Hortus Botanicus, Artis Zoo, and lots of other famous tourist places and last but not least the Amstel river. Enjoy Amsterdam from within!
The houseboat offers you a tastefull bedroom, a modern bathroom, a luxurious kitchen and a warm, comfortable living room with a beautifull canal view. Enjoy the view and quiet atmosphere from behind the spacious windows or by using the terrace.
My place is a very stable, solidly constructed and well maintained houseboat. I like to share my boat with guests from all over the world, because it's such a unique and typical Amsterdam way of living.

A wonderful spot!
The houseboat was in a great location for exploring all of Amsterdam. Very close to metro and tram stops to visit museums and get to other parts of city. It was quiet and peaceful on the canal and we enjoyed our stay. Albert and Anna had coffee pods for morning cuppa to get out the door and were gracious to let us drop our luggage until check-in and we started our explore of city while preparations were made. Coming off a week of biking made having a washer and dryer great! The restaurants in the area were delightful!
Capital Kitchen fabulous food! A short walk to Tashi Deleg for Indonesian/Nepal fusion- wonderful!
Overall just a great and interesting stay!

Would stay no where else
Albert is the best host. He greeted us when we arrived with fresh tulips and showed us how everything worked. He helped us navigate the two biggest celebrations in Amsterdam. The houseboat is clean, very modern with all of the modern conveniences.... including heated bathroom floors. We will be back again.

MAGICAL!!!!!
We cannot say enough about how FANTASTIC this property is. Perfectly located near everything, yet in a quiet neighborhood; Albert's houseboat was absolutely one of our favorite aspects of our trip. Comfortable, fully equipped, it was hard to leave it every day (one day, we didn't leave till dinnertime!) Albert's helpful guide told us everything we needed to know about local markets, where to sightsee, and how to use all the vast amenities that are included. And if we had questions, Albert was instantly responsive. We would 100% recommend this accommodation to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic!
Everything about the boat was as advertised! A perfect retreat after a day exploring Amsterdam, very well situated and amazing views. Albert, the host, could not have been kinder or more helpful. We hope to enjoy his hospitality again soon!

Great location, good host!
The location for this houseboat couldn't be better. It's close to transit and many great sightseeing locations, but it's on a side canal so it's still relatively secluded and quiet. The houseboat itself is very modern and well-maintained. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Truly superb and tranquil
Albert’s houseboat is an incredibly comfortable and peaceful place to stay. It is very well equipped. It was spotlessly clean and had everything an international traveler might appreciate, including the full size washing machine and dryer, very effective heating, double glazing and condiments (eg herbs, spices, oil) to make the most of the chef’s kitchen overlooking the canal. A real highlight was watching the rowers come past in the early morning and the visiting waterbirds including coots, ducks and swans. We didn’t meet Albert but he was available if we had any queries.
We loved every minute of our stay here. If you see this and are thinking about it, you won’t regret it.

Houseboat
The houseboat was absolutely wonderful. Extremely clean. It was exactly as pictured ; very spacious. Loved sitting in the terrace watching the ducks and boats passing by
Albert was there to show us around when we arrived early and jet us leave our luggage so we cloud explore the city for the day. He was available for any questions we may have had
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to have a different type experience in Amsterdam
