Cute houseboat, watch it for the circular staircase

10.0

The listing needs to point out that this is North Amsterdam, 20 min from city center and that parking is limited , that Uber is the fastest transport and the train system is a few minutes walk, we never did find the train stop. Great friendly hosts!

− Travelel into the city was expensive

Un endroit magnifique qui serait idéal si le chauffage en octobre était plus performant

7.0

L’atypique maison au fil de l’eau est un superbe endroit pour qui veut vivre une expérience unique. La maison correspond parfaitement à 4 personnes où chacun trouvera sa place. Un retour à la nature certain.

− Il faut avoir en tête que ce type de produit est éloigné des transports et commerces donc sans voiture ou vélo c’est 1/2 h de marche pour faire ses courses Le point le plus décevant est le marque de chauffage qui n’a été modifié que le dernier jour or avec l’humidité ambiante c’était essentiel. Une maison à réserver pour les beaux jours ?

Perfekt för en familj, rymligt och fint. Härligt att kunna ta ett dopp i kanalen!

Dutch life is the best

10.0

Loved the location so easy to get about. The houseboat had everything we needed. We loved sitting outside watching all the boats go past and all the swimmers. Such a beautiful way of life. The owners are so lovely and nothing too much trouble. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for such an amazing week 😎

− Nothing at all. It was perfect.
