Nice Property on the canal
The property was very nice and in a good area. A little ways for walking but bus and team available. The hosts were very gracious and gave us nice tips on local restaurants, transportation, erc. We would recommend this to anyone.

A nice stay on a houseboat.
The room was cosy and decorated to a high standard. Although check in was not possible until 4pm due to other guests checking out the same day, the host kindly allowed us to drop our luggage off when we arrived at 12. There is a bike rents shop nearby which is convenient. If you have bikes then the location is great as it is in a quiet location but also very close to centra Amsterdam.

Quiet part of town but be prepared to walk as it is some distance from the central station. Not a problem for us except late at night when we were tired. Public transport does cover the whole of Amsterdam however. Hosts were very pleasant and kept a low profile allowing us to do our own thing but helpful when needed. Highly recommend this canal boat stay. Different.

Great location; very loud and shared space
We traveled from western Canada to visit Amsterdam . Our last correspondence to the host, we specifically stated that we could not call on our arrival , as requested, but could communicate thru wifi (email). When we arrived at the airport, and gathered our luggage, we checked our email. No new correspondence. We hailed a taxi and started to head over. In seeing that I was receiving calls from the host, I put my data on to call her, only to be "scolded" for not letting her know that our flight was late and this would hinder a smooth "check in". Bad vibe right from the start. The "luxury" in the title is deceiving. However, this is a vacation "home"; what we didn't expect was that we would be subject to family upsets. Please know that with your stay you are amongst a family and steps away from the hall to the main living area. We were jet lagged for the first couple of days and the door slamming and the loud talking kept us up at night or outright woke us up, it was consistent throughout the week and we thought, inconsiderate. We were on vacation and expected the same respect we gave to their family. We had doors slamming and loud discussions in the hallway at 2:00 a.m. On arrival, I went to use the bathroom and there was no soap provided to wash hands. You're not allowed to flush toilet paper down the toilet so you have to put your urine and feces filled toilet paper in a little garbage can beside the toilet. The amenities stated are what you get and nothing more, so please be prepared. No TV, no microwave, no soap, no shower door so the bathroom floor gets completely drenched, no balcony, but a large window that opens to the canal that is full of garbage and looking at a brick wall and the resident ducks have no problem making a lot of noise predawn. We did not go there to see the scenery of the house. Perhaps the main dwelling is unique and luxurious, but the BandB was a small room. We lived out of our suitcases for 6 days. We did have fresh towel exchange on the third day. The best part of staying there was the cafe's and pubs in the area. We met the most amazing people at the Rooster bar and Checkpoint Charlie which are just a few blocks away. We took different walking routes to the centre of the city daily where we were greeted and met, as we have in the past, the most beautiful Dutch people. I would not recommend this place for long stays. Perhaps an overnighter.

Our stay in Amsterdam
Very friendly, informative hosts. Great location. Our room was picturesque and cozy Extra perk: Neighborhood gym where we had a chance to watch some excellent volleyball and basketball, and enjoy a beer while doing so; amongst super friendly neighbors!

Great stay with a great location.
We had a great time here, host was super nice and provided everything we needed. Didn't know what to expect being on a houseboat but it was a cool experience. (You don't realize you're on the water when inside, don't worry!)

Good Sudio
The property itself was well maintained and comfortable. The hosts were somewhat unattentive. For example, when I asked my host if she had a short piece of rope or twine I could use to secure luggage to my bike, she immediately referred me to a bike shop in the area.
