Amsterdam visit

Maarten was great to work with. The location was perfect and convenient to walk everywhere. The only thing that would have made the stay perfect, would be a bit of outdoor seating. Being able to sit outside and relax and watch boat traffic would have been wonderful. I’d stay here again.

Great little house boat

This is a cute little space in a perfect location, but be aware it is a very small unit. The host is very nice and there to help with anything you need. You can walk to anywhere in the canal district easily.

Perfect One Night Stay

My husband and I wanted to stay somewhere different for our first time in Amsterdam and this houseboat did not disappoint. Marteen was a fantastic host and the place was a great walkable location to everything we wanted to see. We took the train from the airport and it was a quick walk from there. We highly recommend booking if you want a unique stay in an incredible city.

Great stay on the canal

Maarten’s boat on the canal was great. Unfortunately he wasn’t there when we went, however he had friends close to come help if we needed anything. Great and quick to communicate with. Place was very clean and had everything you’d need. Was a short walking distance to the city center and very close to the central train station.
