Great location, super clean, helpful owner. We were surprised how comfy it was even though it's a relatively small space -- very well designed layout!

All in all, highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique, clean and quiet.

We had both rooms on this houseboat and highly recommend a stay. It is a unique accommodation and something typical for Amsterdam. The rooms are clean and well appointed. Everything you need is there. You can even get some simple breakfast items from The Albert Hein grocery store around the corner, and use the fridge and a coffee maker and tea to have a basic breakfast on the water. It is very nice. Beds are comfortable, bathroom is clean, towels provided, locks and key work well (very safe). The host lives on the other half of the boat, or so we think, so he is close if needed. The host communicated well up front and during our stay. He is strict with the many rules that there are, including the ones posted on little labels in the rooms. But this strictness also ensures you have a quiet and good stay. Late checkout was not possible, not even half an hour.

The only downside is that although the air conditioning itself is very quiet, the pump which removes the moisture from it, is very noisy and woke us up during the night in each room. It goes off every few minutes and it's noisy. In all practicality it was not possible to have the AC on during the night.

Same price as a hotel room but it's an interesting experience!

Good location - the tram stop is just one minute away and the street is not noisy so my stay was overall pleasant. The owner was nice to leave sweets and some books about Netherlands in the room. Comfortable bed.

The few small steps at the entrance can be a bit tricky when moving luggage.

The location was amazing and being so close to the water was such a great experience.

We loved the tour groups going by and us giving them a wave when we were in the room, but I imagine some people wouldn't enjoy that and it might be worth highlighting that more. We really enjoyed that aspect though.

Overpriced with a confrontational host

The bed was comfortable. The location was walking distance to great restaurants and public transportation.

Host was rude and immediately confrontational when they couldnt immediately find the key (we left it on the counter as the instructions were not clear). Other communications from host during the stay were similar. We paid ~270 euro a night but felt this was far overpriced for the stay. The host had not restocked the shampoo and body wash dispensers which were completely out. There was a sign stating that using additional towels beyond the 2 provided would result in an additional fee. There was no bathroom mirror on the wall, only a small freestanding one. Bathroom door was broken although there was a sign stating that a repair was planned.

No milk for coffee or biscuits or snacks. No shower gel. For the price I felt there were no extras to make it feel really special
