    Forget boring hotel rooms! If you are in Amsterdam it’s all about the canals, isn’t it? Perfectly located the house boat presents a bit like shabby-chic, think more glamping but with the necessary mod cons making for a very comfortable stay. The...

This Romantic Houseboat is an antique boat converted in to a small but very comfortable apartment. The style of the house can only be discribed as uncluttered 'old amsterdam' style. I live myself on the other side of the boat with my two Kats. Located only ten minutes walk from Dam square, the boat is surrounded by many restaurants, cafes, bars and markets. Rembrandt plein, Waterloo plein market and Amsterdam's Stopera (the principal opera house) are all in view from the apartment which means that even a spontaneous stroll through the nighbourhood could turn most exiting. As its a boat you get to see Amsterdam from a very unique prespective and truly enjoy the canals in a romantic way. Street musicians do choose to perform near the market due to it's creative nature so it is possible you would find yourself waking up to the sound of violins.
Redlight district, Waterlooplein market, everything is close and you can walk to from the boat. Located in the center everything can be walked from here, the boat is 15 min walk from central station.
