About this stay
This houseboat offers a truly unique Amsterdam stay right on the Amstel River, ideal for couples or a small family of four who want to be at the heart of the action. The interior is cleverly laid out with a separate master bedroom, a second sleeping area via a sofa-bed in the living room, and a surprisingly spacious bathroom with both a bath and shower. The standout feature is the dining table positioned to take in the ever-changing river views, making every meal feel like a special occasion. With a full kitchen, air conditioning, and reliable WiFi, it balances authentic character with modern comfort for a self-catered city break. The area around the 'Stopera' is buzzing day and night, from the flea market at Waterlooplein to the trendy cafes on the Nieuwmarkt and the vibrant nightlife of Rembrandtplein. You are steps from the Hermitage and Rembrandt House museums, while the Utrechtsestraat offers some of Amsterdam's best dining. A handy night shop right next door means you can grab essentials at any hour, perfect for late-night snacks or early morning coffee.

Reference only — book on Airbnb for live availability and pricing.
You enter the houseboat from the square directly in front of the 'Stopera'. Down about 5 steps you can go left to a small bedroom (sleeps 2), straight ahead to the rather large bathroom with toilet, seperate bath and shower. If you go right you enter the fully equipped kitchen and the living room. At the dining table you can sit and enjoy the view over the most central bit of the river Amstel. Of course there is also a comfortable couch and a sofa-bed to sleep 2. From the living room you enter the master bedroom with a nice double bed. If the weather is good you can also enjoy the terrace which has sun whenever it shines! From the terrace you'll see the river Amstel, the famous Blauwbrug (Blue bridge) and the Opera.
At first you will be surprised with how quiet and peaceful it is on the inside of the boat. On a good day there will be a lot of boats active on the water and you'll feel you are at the most central point of Amsterdam. Living on a boat like
