    The property is very nice and clean. Although it's quite small (as you can see in the photos), it has everything you need to make you feel comfortable. We stayed for a week, sleeping, having breakfast, and even having dinner on one day, all...

    We had a great stay despite poor weather. The houseboat is in a convenient location, so central and great restaurants nearby, and so nice to lie in bed with swans and ducks passing by.

    The property's neighbourhood was great. It was fairly quiet, allowing a good sleep. Being on the water was super cool. The sink outside the bathroom helps to make the one bathroom situation more manageable.

    This is a gem if you're in Amsterdam! The houseboat is located in a great neighbourhood with lovely atmosphere, perfect if you're looking to see the beauty of Amsterdam without being surrounded by tourists. The room is small but that was expected,...

Welcome aboard the Amsterdam Houseboat Family! Located in Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Houseboat family offers two delightful and modern studios in the centre of de Pijp. Each self-catering studio has one double bed and ensuite bathroom (rain shower + toilet), a minibar and small kitchenette, your own entrance so you can come and go as you please, and free WiFi. The roof deck of the boat can be used at your pleasure, with a 40m2 summer terrace equipped with sundeck chairs, and an eating area nicely lit with fairy lights. Making it a pleasant spot for your morning breakfast or an evening wine! The houseboat is 10 minutes walking distance from Museum Square, where you can visit the renowned Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum. As well as 10 minutes walking to the famous flea market ‘Albert Cuyp’. The rest of the city is easily accessible with public transport by tram, subway or bus at the end of road. Or go for the full Dutch experience and rent a bike! Schiphol Airport is located 8.3 mi away, 20 minutes by Uber or 25 minutes with public transport. De Pijp has an overwhelming amount of good restaurants, bars and boutique shops right on your doorstep.
Im graduate student in public health, and love travelling the world myself.
The neighbourhood ‘de Pijp’ is one of the most famous and funkiest city centre neighbourhoods, known for its local atmosphere and the many (coffee) bars, cosy restaurants, and of course Amsterdam’s oldest street market ‘de Albert Cuyp’. Moreover, the houseboat is located in the canal right next to the ‘Rijksmuseum’ and in walking distance of museum square. Convenience stores, bike-rentals, and even the best night shop of Amsterdam (open until 5am/7am) are all right around the corner.
