Original Airbnb host description

Reference only — book on Airbnb for live availability and pricing.

The HE-JA is a cargo ship that was taken out of service 7 years ago. It has since been converted into a houseboat.
The ship is located in the Eastern harbor area about 10 minutes from the Amsterdam center. A fantastic place. In the summer you can jump off the deck for a refreshing dip, so bring your swimsuit.

The space
The deckhouse, the original skipper's residence, has been converted into a studio with a shower and toilet (without door). The studio has a kitchenette with a refrigerator, an espresso machine and a kettle. There is a separate two-burner induction stove and a microwave. And there will be a base of coffee, tea, sugar, pepper and salt.
In addition, there are also a number of cleaning supplies for hands, including: kitchen roll, disposable gloves, all-purpose cleaner, antibacterial hand gel and hand soap.

You can sit outside on the roof of the deckhouse, on your own simple terrace. Possibly with hammock.
