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

Solitude in the centre of Amsterdam! Water and nature, sun and waves. A stilled spot only 15 minutes from the the centre of Amsterdam by tram! A place to contemplate and bring your mind at peace with the rocking of the boat, subject to the ever changing seasons! In the summer a perfect place swim, in the winter to stare over the water and watch the birds fishing. Thinking how to spend a beautiful time in Amsterdam!
