About this property
Central, cosy and modern appartment in Houseboat. Amsterdam Pur Sang.
Going out to discover Amsterdam and surroundings or just finding your quiet spot when working or relaxing, up to four can enjoy a lovely place on one of the Canals.
Everything is within reach, as well as a filmmuseum, 100m high lookout or just a nice restaurant next to the water or even beach. Also going out for nature is a 15 min tour on a bike or car. Or visit one of the famous Musea Amsterdam has by walking up to one of the free Ferries and get into the tram or metro. Even by bike it is only 20 minutes away.
Your host has a lot of knowledge on where one can go, all depending if it needs to be a local, cultural experience or just for food and good music. It's all there you just have to make something good out of it.

We had a great stay at this property. The property was exactly as advertised and was just right for three people. It certainly was close to the center of Amsterdam but far enough to be quiet. I would certainly stay here again.
Very nice place to stay right on the water and close to main Amsterdam. Easy to get to and to check-in. Friendly host who responded right away with any questions. Would stay again.
Great place to stay. A bit of peace and quiet yet so close to everything. Well appointed kitchen, and small details throughout that made our stay move comfortable.
Staying on this houseboat was a unique and relaxing experience, offering beautiful canal views and a peaceful atmosphere. The location was ideal—close to the city center yet quiet enough to enjoy some tranquility. The hosts were very friendly and provided great local tips, making our visit even better.
Only minutes to free 24/7 ferry to downtown Amsterdam, close to all, restaurants, supermarkets, bike rentals, etc. Very quiet area. Great host, good communications, fast check in, available for advice on where to go.
We enjoyed our stay despite all the rain. Great location. Few mins walk to the ferry that takes you directly to Centraal Station. Lots of restaurants nearby. Thank you Edwin for a great visit.
The houseboat apartment is a perfect way to enjoy a visit to Amsterdam. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful and the location is a short walk to the free ferry to the heart of historic Amsterdam. We would love to stay here again!
Very nice stay om Edwin's houseboat. Location is very good in a quit canal on the North side but still close to Central Station. 10 min walk to the free ferry witch run 24/7.The apartment is well equipped. There is heated floors and a nice bathroom.
Great apartment for our family. Great location a shirt walk and 1 minute ferry from central station. Edwin (host) was really friendly and had good recommendations for things to do.
Flawless and unique experience, great hosts who went above and beyond, nice sized space that is super clean and well stocked. Location is great in the northern area near a great street market. A bit of a walk to central station, but not bad.
A two bedroom apartment in a houseboat. Newly renovated, with the benefit of a small kitchen.
A quiet location, only a quick ferry ride from downtown. Highly recommended for those wanting a unique experience.
Fantastic stay in the perfect location for exploring
The boat itself is great for a cozy stay. It’s nice and warm and in great condition. There are 4 single beds that are together to essentially create 2 doubles so it’s a bit cozy if you’re sharing with friends. The location is perfect as it’s just about a 10min walk from the free 24/7 ferry into the centre. Theres also plenty to see on the north side of the river. Would highly recommend this stay.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Edwin’s property, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The home was impeccably clean and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need.
My husband and two daughters stayed here and it was a wonderful location. The house was incredibly clean and had everything we needed. Edwin was very helpful with places to visit and made us feel so welcome. Everyday we walked the short distance to the free passenger ferry where we could then explore museums, canals, and enjoy all types of food. We would definitely stay here again!
We arrived in Amsterdam as the final leg of a 17 day European vacation. Check in and out was easy, Edwin was a wealth of info and the home is spotless. We happened to be there one day that the weather was horrible - cold, rain and VERY high winds,,,a perfect crash day for us to stay inside and rest. Comfy beds. Walking distance from the central train station and a grocery store nearby.
Had a good stay in the apartment. Rooms were clean. Location was not amazing but the ferry does run consistently. Wish we could’ve had a dock — that was something that we expected.
Very comfortable stay on a modern house boat- highly recommended. The rooms are cosy and we had all we needed with some lovely personal touches. There was even an Christmas tree for us. Edwin was a great host and very considerate with good communication. The location is good and the free ferry from the Central Station works really well- we never waited more than a minute or two.
We had a nice day in Noord. It was very quiet there and it is also conveniently located for city trips. Edwin is a very nice landlord and the apartment is modern, very clean and well laid out. The rooms are narrow but cozy and there is a patio door in the living room that you can open. We liked it and would like to come back again.
With my husband and our 2 children (3 and 5 years old), we enjoyed very much this houseboat. It's clean, with the necessary equipments and it's pleasant to be close to water. We rent bikes and that way the location was perfect: with the ferries you are quickly in the center and at the same time you're not far from nice places like NDSM.
The communication with Edwin was perfect and he cares about giving good tips and information.
We recommand this place!
Edwin's houseboat is a lovely little property, with all the essentials. It was very clean, excellent shower setup, and the 10-15 minute walk to the ferry across the IJ to Central Station makes the location quite convenient. Edwin was a wonderful, accommodating host, and was quick to respond to my messages. Thanks again, Edwin!
