Original Airbnb host description
Reference only — book on Airbnb for live availability and pricing.
After 23 years I still regard my boat as paradise on earth. In the city centre, but so peaceful. Sitting on the deck watching swans and ducks go by is very special. The color of the water chances every day. You are very welcome to enjoy it yourself.
The space
A perfect romantic getaway!
This houseboat offers you a taste of Holland by the waterside with a spectacular view over the canal and the famous bridge built in the 'Amsterdam's School' architectural style.
Just a ten-minute walk from the Central Station, this unique location places you in the center of the city with cafes, restaurants and shops at every turn. But the most beautiful thing about the place is that the boat itself is situated on a nice and quiet canal. Walk through the alley and you'll come to the Nieuwmarkt, a squeare with little cafes and restaurants and a beautiful old building in the centre of it all.
The hot spot of A
Neighbourhood
Centrum-Oost places you in the vibrant core of Amsterdam, steps from the Red Light District, museums, flea markets, and a wide array of cafes and restaurants. Despite the central location, the area around the boat is surprisingly quiet and peaceful—just walk through a nearby alley to find yourself in the midst of the city's lively energy. This balance makes it an ideal base for exploring both the cultural highlights and the authentic local atmosphere.
