Amsterdam visit

Maarten was great to work with. The location was perfect and convenient to walk everywhere. The only thing that would have made the stay perfect, would be a bit of outdoor seating. Being able to sit outside and relax and watch boat traffic would have been wonderful. I’d stay here again.

Cute little space

This is a cute little space in a perfect location, but be aware it is a very small unit. The host is very nice and there to help with anything you need. You can walk to anywhere in the canal district easily.

Great stay on the canal

Maarten’s boat on the canal was great. Unfortunately he wasn’t there when we went, however he had friends close to come help if we needed anything. Great and quick to communicate with. Place was very clean and had everything you’d need. Was a short walking distance to the city center and very close to the central train station.

Great room on a house boat! Complete with shower, fridge,TV with Netflix and a good sized bed. Although the boat was close to the centre, it was incredibly quiet and relaxing. Maarten provided us with clear instructions throughout. We would highly recommend.

A comfy place right by Amsterdam center

The listing was exactly as it was listed. A bed, a bathroom, and the comforts you need to keep you going as you experience Amsterdam (including a kettle and tea, appreciated after walking though the city). The host was very attentive and welcoming, which made our experience visiting Amsterdam that much more enjoyable. And its location near the city center let us see the sights and still come back to rest. Definitely would rent again.

Fantastic Apartment

The apartment was even better than the pictures. Very clean & had everything you could ask for. It's very close to the tram stop & minutes from the historic town center. Parking space is a little tight, but there is parking and for a smaller vehicle perfect. We were driving a large car, so tight as to be expected. Jace was great with communication and meeting us to show us around. We highly recommend this place.

I’m on a boat!

Everything was awesome! We stayed near the museums on our first few nights in Amsterdam, the on the boat for a couple nights on our return. It was great to book end the city to get a bit different experience. Everything works great including the shower. A good shower was very hit, or miss in our European tour. Communication was easy every step of the way. We really enjoyed something a little different this time around. Thanks!!

Absolutely Perfect!

This property was ideal for the two of us. We travelled to Amsterdam by Eurostar and the boat was 12 minutes walk from the central station. The position of the boat allowed us to walk everywhere, nothing was too far. Our stay was only four nights so we made the most of the city and spent a limited amount of time on the boat, mainly overnight. Communication with our host Marteen was the best I have experienced on VRBO. His instructions were crystal clear and our stay was problem free. If you are planning to visit Amsterdam this is an ideal spot to explore from. Highly recommended!

Live like a local

Quiet, comfortable and sweet location outside of desirable tourist area of Amsterdam. Easiest access to transportation, via train station (10 min walk) we used public transportation and walking throughout our time and our oasis on the water was a welcome retreat. Small refrigerator, tea kettle and two mugs/spoons, with instant coffee are the only available kitchen items, be prepared to treat it much like a hotel or studio apartment, in size and function. Plenty of space when good sleep and a centrally located spot are your priorities. Beautiful surroundings and peaceful place to return to every evening. Maarten was very accessible and kept in touch from reservation to follow up after check out. We hope to return to Amsterdam to spend more time on a boat!
