Das Hausboot liegt sehr zentral und Jack war ein sehr guter Gastgeber!
Wir waren 9 Tage auf dem Hausboot und haben die Umgebung mit dem Fahrrad erkundet. Auf dem Hausboot gibt es alles, was man fĂŒr einen perfekten Aufenthalt benötigt. Der Gastgeber war zu jeder Zeit gut erreichbar und hat uns gute Tipps fĂŒr die Parksituation geben können. Wir empfehlen das Hausboot sehr gerne weiter!
Great property. Great host. 10/10 would stay again.
Seriously tho, I know Amsterdam well and this houseboat was a more than ideal launching pad. Expecting to try and stay there again next time Iâm in town.
We have staying in many properties, in many cities, over the years and Jackâs houseboat in Amsterdam was among the best. Well equipped, very convenient location to see the sights, and just far enough away from crowds to be restful.
Ein tolles Hausboot in super Lage! Mit dem sehr sympathischen Vermieter lief alles absolut reibungslos! Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Zeit und können diese Unterkunft wÀrmstens empfehlen!
Been to Amsterdam a handful of times but never stayed on a houseboat, Jackâs place was amazing!!
From the swans who would come to greet us on the back deck every morning to the awesome little neighborhood away from the main tourist areas but still close to everything, it honestly couldnât have been better. Train station to take you all over town is conveniently located only about 3 minutes walk from the houseboat. The houseboatâs âfloating gardensâ even offers a little privacy, your own little garden oasis even thought you are in the middle of the city. Huge windows also, lots of natural light and stunning canal views to wake up to!
Jack was a fabulous host, a laid back local who lives close by and answered any questions we had promptly. He even gave us a ride to the airport on our way out, saved us from having to lug our suitcases around town from train to train.
Not sure I can visit Amsterdam again and go back to standard hotels, Jackâs houseboat was truly a unique experience that Iâll never forget. Will definitely be back, 10/10!!

Home away from home
Very nice all the comforts of home. Lovely neighborhood.
We were looking for a unique stay in Amsterdam and Jacks place didnât disappoint. The location is great, and was quiet at night. It was really hot the 4 days we were there but the houseboat kept cool with the open windows and cool breeze off the water. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the passing boats and the resident swan family whose nest is right next to the house. We were really happy to be able to do some laundry too! Thanks for a great end of our vacation Jack!
The house boat was perfect, the location was ideal - a short walk to all Amsterdam's attractions and far enough from the main action for a peaceful, relaxing visit.
Clean and bright with everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable, I would highly recommend it.
This is a real jem of a place to stay. Really well laid out the houseboat has a natural flow to it and with its bohemian decor, has a really cool vibe to it.
Excellently equipped also with all you could want for your stay, a full kitchen with oven, hob and microwave. coffee maker, toaster and breakfast bar. A sunken corner bath with shower, and a big double bed looking out down the canal.
It is a really great location too, really quiet and peaceful, yet close to some really interesting neighbourhoods to explore and still not too far from the centre of the city.
Plenty of local bars and cafes within a short walk.
All in all a place that just made you feel welcome and at home, can't wait to return

Mitten in Amsterdam ein kleines Paradies. Ein einzigartiges Hausboot dem es an nichts fehlte und ein supernetter Vermieter sorgte fĂŒr einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt im Herzen der groĂartigen Stadt Amsterdam. Danke Jack
Sehr netter und unkomplizierter Kontakt zum Gastgeber. Im Hausboot fĂŒhlt man sich sofort wohl und es fehlt an nichts. Lage, Ausstattung top! Amsterdam auf dem Hausboot, immer wieder gerne! Danke Jack
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Der Vermieter hatte alles sehr gut vorbereitet und beschrieben. Alles Wichtige war vorhanden.
Lage optimal, ruhig aber sehr gut angebunden an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Zentrum schnell fuĂlĂ€ufig erreichbar.
Much better than a hotel - having the water just outside the windows
We had six lovely days in Amsterdam. Staying at the houseboat was brilliant and we had a good time. Thanks to Jack for a nice welcome and a well prepared kitchen and fridge, and for borrowing Hanky his chubby cat :-)
Wifi wasn't quite stabil but otherwise everything lived up to our high expectations.
We spent a week in Paris with our one year old Sonya, and Jack's houseboat was exactly the break we needed. First, you can't go wrong. The home used to be a recording studio. Thus, it's got this great, tasteful 70's funk decor. Jack is also a renaissance man. Beyond music he's a carpenter and electrician. The bathroom, the shower, the kitchen...all the wood work and lighting was done by himself. The attention and detail put into the houseboat is apparent to a degree in the photos, but rest assured, once you are there, you'll be even more impressed.
When we arrived Jack had fruit for us, beer in the fridge, ideas and advice on where to go and what to see. He took us for a boat ride. And for a fee he drove us to the airport. There's a small pad that you can't see well in the photos with room for a couple of chairs so you can sit outside and watch the canal and feed the ducks. The windows are also big and beautiful so you can see the canal from all sides of the houseboat.
Again, we have a one year old. Jack was able to provide us with a crib. Other than moving a few things we were able to make the boat baby friendly within 5 minutes.
We can't say enough for the houseboat and Jack's hospitality. We will definitely be returning.
