It was well located in Amsterdam, it was easy to access public transit and tourist sites, but was away from the crush of tourism. The bed was comfortable, and there was just the right amount of space for a couple. The host was kind and friendly.

The air-conditioning is a portable unit that requires sticking the tube out the window. But that means you can't close the window, so mosquitos get inside, and without a seal, its really energy inefficient. Having the AC unit was important on hot days, but it would function better if it was set up with the window seal so bugs didn't get in when it was needed. It was still a good place to stay, but this aspect seemed not very well thought out.

Friedrich was a lovely host, welcoming us to the room and giving us a brief tour. The boat is located in a beautiful location, within a short walk of the busy centre, which consist of small neighbourhoods, lined with fantastic architecture and amazing little pubs! The houseboat itself is very cosy. Warm, very clean and everything worked well. Don’t expect an abundance of room, this is a cosy stay, perfect for what we wanted. Somewhere nice to put our head down for the night before exploring each day. It was the perfect location.

The place was so cute and cozy and got to feel more like a local. Nearby to a lot of what I wanted to see and the famed vegan bakery.

The stairs are a little steep down so don’t overpack otherwise carrying your luggage down can be challenging.

Great location and Freidrich was great too! Although the houseboat is literally a room with a small bathroom to one side, it's perfect for a 2-3 night stay. The bed is comfortable and the room wants for nothing, no frills essentials but spot on. There is a cafe/restaurant about 20 seconds walk away which is a perfect way to start your day with a breakfast and end your day with a drink or 2. We'd definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

Nothing to complain about! Although it's basic, it wants for nothing. We'll definitely stay there again

It was a nice central location. Very close to all the tourist attractions, but the host pointed out the nearby "alternative" interesting area of the city which we also explored. It was fun to try a houseboat for a change and the furnishing is a lovely eclectic mix of vintage and modern. Nice restaurant right next to the houseboat too.

We've been in Amsterdam for 4 days and we've specifically choose this location, as an unique experience staying on a houseboat on the canal. Friedrich, the owner of this houseboat, was very friendly, explaining from the start everything we needed to know and even made some good recommendation for different places to eat & visit. The room itself is small but cozy and practical, the bathroom/shower has just the right size, the bed is super comfy, I mean you can have pretty much all the basic needs for such a location. The houseboat is located in a nice area, within walking distance to the central station (~ 10 minutes) and the lovely old town. There are a couple of windows in the houseboat but no balcony if you want to drink your morning coffee there. It does have a terrace above but we were not allowed to stay there. There are also a couple of food shops near by, if you want to buys different things. Overall a great experience which will no doubt will repeat in the future. Highly recommended ! ;)

Loved staying on the canal boat, close to great areas, quiet at night.

The stairs were steep and narrow getting into the boat.

The location was excellent and unbeatable, perfect to explore the city. The owner was very friendly and his recommendations for restaurants and areas to visit were excellent.

The room is certainly small, but this is clearly advertised and not unexpected.

Great quiet location, easy to get to, enough space in the small studio for two. Basic amenities. Friendly host!

Pillows are very deep. I would suggest normal size pillows. Otherwise everything was great!
