The apartment was awesome. It was in the perfect area of Amsterdam . The place was newly renovated and had a hugh tub and shower. It was clean and Robin, the owner, recommended a cab driver to pick us up from the airport. His price was fair and Eihab, the driver, was very friendly and informative. We rented a few places in Amsterdam and this was the best place we ever stayed.

Review of apartment
by Kylie Dickinson

We stayed in this apartment in Amsterdam for 4 nights and I just wish we could have been there longer! The apartment was stunning, beautifully furnished and comfortable with everything you could need and in an excellent location opposite a gorgeous canal. Could not fault this accommodation at all and would highly recommend it. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic Location, Lovely Apartment
by Julia and Stuart Barnes

Loved the apartment and the location. We have stayed in a few apartments and houseboats in Amsterdam and this was the nicest one we have rented. Clean and comfortable, well equipped, a home from home. Loved the fact that it was sous terrain as it meant you could watch the world go by on the street outside but no one could see in! Plus has its own front door directly onto the street - ideal for nabbing the bench opposite, right on the bank of the canal where we had a few late night glasses of wine watching the world go by!
The area is great too - numerous restaurants and bars within 100 metres. Also good for exploring de Pijp area which is just 10 minutes walk away. In fact most tourist sights are within walking distance so we hardly used our travel passes.
Robin, the owner, was extremely helpful and professional.
Thoroughly recommend staying here.

Well imppressive!!
by Anthony & Sarah

Excelllent stay, we were ealso very happy with the service via houseboathotel.nl,
in the way everything was dealt very proffesional..
my 9th time in Amsterdam in the last 10 years, and regardless how much money you gonna spend on a hotel, if its 3 star or 5 star, there is always the disappointment that youre gonna end up in a very small dutch style room,
we will defenatly reccomend staying here again in future, excellent appartment, excellent location, no negative points.

Amazing Apartment
by Jodie & Andy

Myself and my boyfriend stayed in this apartment for 3 nights and we thought it was fantastic! It is situated in a lovely quiet area but only a short 5 min walk to Rembrant Square where you can find bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Dam Square and the Red Light District is a further 15 mins walk so it's not in the middle of all the madness but walking distance to all the attractions.
We loved the decor of the apartment and were totally relaxed the whole weekend especially loving the bath tub for two :) It was very clean and well equipped; the kitchen had everything you could need.
Perfect for couples and very good value for money we will be staying there again next year and would highly recommend to couples looking for a romantic break away.

Delightful Stay
by Anne Begley

I have just returned from a short stay in the beautiful Canal Apartment. It is a wonderful space, centrally located in the most atmospheric area of Amsterdam.
The building is historic, peaceful and charming. The only sounds were the bicycle wheels meandering by the canal outside. I would recommend this apartment highly.
Best wishes,
Anne

Great accomodation
by K Geens

I totally loved this place, even though at first I was slightly reserved due to the lack of windows - it being a sous terrain and all. But that lack of windows turned out to add the general warm atmosphere of the place. The interiour was spot on, both homey and complete, and it's hard to find better location as well - close to the center, but not right in it so you can avoid drunk Yanks and Brits pissing down your door... :)
Just one minor flaws that shouldn't be too hard to fix if the owner reads this... The lack of a door between the bathroom and the living space is inconvenient.

Mostly I enjoyed staying in the appartments
by Gyuzel

I was staying in the appartments AS31 for 3 days in the begin of November 2010 and I foun flat very comfortable, clean and nice.
The only small remarks I would like to tell about the hairdryer, lightening (a bit dark), not very friendly system of heating and weak wireless signal... Bed also was a bit strange. All that small problems easily can be fixed.
The rest is totally fine, especially nice bathroom, kitchen, furniture, design and TV.
Thanks for the hospitality and will be sure come back to Amsterdam and hope to see you again.
Regards

Improvements in appartment - Princessengracht 804/806
by Ilya Mirkin

Hello.
The appartment is very good. Kind stuff, good location and very well designed. Has almost everything needed. I would also like to suggest some improvements:
1. The internet speed was super slow. I think that the wireless router is located too far from the flat, so the connection strengh is very low. This is very important for travelers and business men as well.
2. The maximum light is still very low, and the appartment is kinda dark...
3. There is no hairdrier. I dont need it, coz my hair is short but my wife wished to have one...
Thank you for your services, and hope to see you again next visit.

Perfect romantic apartment
by Sophie

We stayed here in Spring and the apartment was perfect. Great location - quiet but still fairly central. The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated. Plus it had the best fresh coffee i have ever tasted! The only minor grumble i would say was that there were no leaflets or tourist info in the apartment. It wouldn't take much to find a few local leaflets and a map and put them on the coffee table. Having said that, i would definitely recomment the apartment to anyone wanting a romantic weekend in Amsterdam. We loved it.

Très bel appartement
by Damien carrausse

Très bel appartement, intérieur tres agréable disposant de tout le nécessaire!
L'emplacement est idéal, le canal est très calme de jour comme de nuit, et a vélo il suffit de 10 min pour rejoindre central station.
Idéal pour un petit séjour en amoureux!

Spectacular Apartment
by Alison

Myself and my Partener stayed in this apartment for 4 nights and within minutes of arriving in this chic apartment I was relaxed.
It is suitated in a lovely smart area and at canal level so no stairs!
Its about a 10 min walk to Rembrant Square and about a further 15 mins walk to Dam Square.
Stefan met us there and was very friendly and informative, handed us the keys and left us to it.
The decor was very tasteful and the soft furnishings were of a high standard.
It was very clean and well equipped, the kitchen had everything you could need.
I spent most of my time relaxing in the big bath tub (room for two)
There was also a seperate shower.
Perfect for couples and very good value for money
We will be staying there again.

canal AS31
by stephen

this is the second time we have used houseboathotel.nl and i must say that both times we have been very happy with the accommodations.
This time we stayed in the canal AS31 studio flat in the prisengracht area of amsterdam.
The flat is quite central and within walking distance to most places of interest.
Prisengracht has plenty of nice cafés and bars and has a large choice of restaurants all close by the flat.
The flat is very well laid out,very clean, compact and fully equiped..
there is a large bathroom with a double sized bath and plenty of hot water!
i would recommend this flat to any couple /persons visiting amsterdam and must add an extra thank you to stephano for his warm welcome while checking in.
all in all a very good choice in a lovely area.

Short break
by Annie

One of the most wonderful places I have ever stayed in. Central location, excellent eating places at walking distance and a couple of very adorable cafes opposite of the flat by the canal. The flat is beautiful and has everything you may need. In addition the owner is extremely helpful and we were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed with bottle of wine and beer free of charge. It was deffinitely value for money.

House boatappartment802
by neumann

The appartment was comfortable, nice and clean and close to the centre and the museumsplein.We missed a real good light espacially for the evening because all the lights inthe appartment were not strong enough so that you could read. Everything else was very good.

A nice but a little bit cold apartment
by Lars Bager

I stayed in the apartment together with my wife for four days during the last week of April.
The apartment was just as shown on the photos. The ceiling is quite low but with my 1,83m I still didn't hit the beams. It was very clean and provides everything to be comfortable during longer stays too.
The kitchen is well equipped and even has a toaster which we liked a lot since we didn't have to go out to buy any rolls in the morning. There where provided a new flannel, sponge, two towels and soap for cleaning the dishes, so thers's no need to bring those things along.
We found the matress of the bed to be too soft, but against out concerns our backs didn't hurt in the morning. Moreover we didn't like that the bed had only one blanket for the too of us, but the next day's visit to the Albert Cuyp Market showed us that this seems to be traditional in Holland.
As the appartment is in the basement it is quite cool. My wife suffers a little bit from rheumatism an said that she felt the humidity that spread from the canal into the apartment. In my opinion she felt this way because during the first two days the central heating was not working. It was turned on on the third day in the morning, maybe by someone in the upper apartments which where in renovation (on one occasion the hammering went on until 0:30 in the morning when I complained).
The bath room is quite large and very comfortable. Candles were placed around the bath tub (and around the apartment as well) liquid soap for the bath tub and to wash one's hands was provided as well as two towels for each person.
The shower door didn't close properly so there was a small pool in front of the shower after using it. The next day we blocked the door shut with the kitchen flannel when taking a shower and the problem was gone. Maybe the owner could have this fixed some time.
We received a free bottle of wine on our first day and could leave our luggage in the appartment to fetch it in the afternoon on out last day which was very nice of our host.
The appartment was available from 12:00 o'clock on the first day and had to be left at 10:00 o'clock on the last day. It is 20m from the tram station "Prinsengracht" of Tram No. 4 and really well placed in the city: Waterloo Plein, Leideplain and Museum Plein can be reached within a 15 minutes walk, just as a Lidl supermarket and the Albert Cuyp Street Market where we bought our food.
I think the appartment is perfect for a stay during the summer because it won't get too warm in there. When the central heating is working it is comfortable in the last week of April too (with temperatures about 13-16°C outside).

Very nice!!
by Andrea

This is a very nice place.
Walking distance to all the main attractions of the city,
but the surroundings are relatively quiet.
The flat is clean and cosy.
The guest was friendly, informative and he was at our complete disposal. I definitely recommend the place.

W-E in Amsterdam
by Grégoire Brigot

My girlfriend and I spent a perfect week-end in Amsterdam.
The appartment was very clean, fully-furnished and very well located.
Perfect for a romantic week-end.
As we arrived by car, the owner proposed us to drive us to a free parking area (in the suburb of Amsterdam) and to bring us back to the appartment. Very cool !
