    This was a very unique stay in Amsterdam. We really enjoyed having a coffee and watching all the boats moving up and down the river. The location was a perfect walking distance from most areas. The bed was very comfortable and the area was quiet...

    One of the best places we have ever stayed! Lovely quiet area of Amsterdam, gorgeous view of the Amstel canal, great places to eat nearby. Absolutely loved it and never wanted to leave. It made our holiday to experience the houseboat!

    The boat was easy to locate, clean, comfortable, and very near to several tram stops. The living space was lovely and we had lots of wildlife that came to visit during our stay! As the boat is located out of the main centre, it was nice and quiet...

    The location, the amazing view over the water, the facilities, the little extras like the coffee pods and the stroopwafels. There are several small electric heaters that help to keep the place warm. The kitchenette is really small but works fine...

THANK YOU for your reservation of studio Ark van Amstel at my houseboat! I am looking forward to welcome you in the studio at the Amstel in Amsterdam – and I hope you will enjoy to live like a local on a houseboat in Amsterdam. AMSTERDAM – THE VENICE OF THE NORTH- WITH ITS LOVELY CANALS AND BRIDGES Amsterdam is known as Venice of the North because of its lovely canals going through the city with more than 1500 bridges. And you are going to sleep on one of most beautiful canals – The Amstel. Please note that, due to government regulations, cooking is no longer allowed in B&Bs in Amsterdam.
I love living on the water because it feels you live in nature but then in middle of the city.
This neighbourhood Weesperzijde is one of the most special places near the Amstel. This part is very popular because of its beautifull walks along the water and because of its different bars, restaurants and terraces. They call this place the part with the most 'ours of sun' in the city. At the other side of the bridge there is popular part of the city De Pijp – like the neighbourhood 'Quartier Latin' in Paris.
