    The location is great, with excellent connectivity to the city center. The apartment is very nice, with a lot of light, and well equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. It's a very quiet location in a park in a nice neighborhood with a few supermarkets and cafes nearby. We felt very safe. The host was very nice and attentive.

    It was a great location and great host, very friendly, we’ve seen a lot of comments about the stairs but if you’re able they give a great authentic feel to a house in Amsterdam which was great! Such a nice cosy place to stay and great value for money, there is a tram stop from Marie heinekenplein a 3 minute walk that takes you directly through the centre to and from Amsterdam centraal

    Super comfortable bed, great design rooms, and amazing details that made our stay absolutely beautiful. Jean Paul, the owner of the boat was a great host exceeding our expectations! The location is great on a very nice neighbourhood (little island) and it takes you about 15 min to get to the city centre.
