Original Airbnb host description

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

Sunny, spacious and clean apartment in an original Dutch barge literally on the Amstel right in the city center of Amsterdam.

Sit on the deck and enjoy views of the river, curl up by the fire place or visit the many restaurants, museums and bars at walking distance. I'll be more than happy to recommend you some good spots off the beaten track.

The space
Walking across the wide stable footbridge you enter through your own private entrance. The spacious studio is built into the cargo hull of an authentic Amsterdam houseboat with roof windows letting in natural light.

The living space has a fireplace with a seating area where you can hang out after cycling around the city. You'll also have access to a basic kitchenette and a dining table, however for a proper dinner I would recommend going to one of the child friendly restaurants at walking distance.

In the sleeping area you'll find a two person bed and a bunk bed perfectly suited

Neighbourhood

Moored on the Amstel River, this houseboat sits between the lively De Pijp district and the city center. De Pijp offers a local vibe with cool bars, restaurants, and markets, while main attractions like Museum Square, Heineken Square, and Rembrandt Square are just a short walk away. It's a perfect spot for travelers who want to avoid tourist crowds but stay close to the action.
