Our houseboat is located in the north of Amsterdam. A swim ladder on our terrace gives us direct access to the water to swim or to canoe if the weather is right. But being so close to the water is fantastic in all seasons. Our neighborhood is very hip at the moment, the process of gentrification is in full swing, which means that there are all sorts of interesting restaurants, cafes and breweries to visit. Our area is teeming with all kinds of interesting activities. The center of Amsterdam is very close by. A ferry (day and night) which is just a 5-minutes-bikeride away, will take you to the very center.
