    The steps to the upstairs were very thin. If the back was removed and steps were wider it would be safer, especially for older people.

    I bumped my head on the hatch leading to the upstairs bedroom more than once, my own fault I suppose. Some padding on the edge would have helped.

    A 12minute walk from the train station, staying on a boat with a fairly secluded outside space, what's not to like! There is a well stocked Jumbo supermarket, 15 mins walk. Space outside to park hired bikes. All water, heating and air con worked flawlessly. This is not a luxury destination, but it is a clean, well appointed, good value option for folk that fend for themselves. All communication with Jeffrey was prompt and polite.

    Rockwool insulation behind the curtain as you walked in to the space. Only as it can cause some skin itching problems for people with sensitive skin. I know there’s a need for soundproofing and insulation but maybe there could be a better solution. And maybe the memory foam mattresses and pillows. If there was a way to rectify this I can’t see anything else wrong with this lovely houseboat. I would stay again even if this wasn’t changed thinking about it.

    Absolutely spotless and quite close to the centre. It would have been absolutely amazing if there was a little outside space to look over the river. But the street outlook at the outdoor space was fine.

    Could have used a few finishing touches like hand towel and soap in the toilet area, trash can in the shower room, lamp in the bedroom etc. Minor details only.

    Location was great, 12 minute walk to Centraal Station. The boat was comfy and the view from the upper bedroom at night was spectacular!

    Loved the location. Was very central. Perfect to get to places easily. Disliked how scared I was to drop the key in the canal when I used it for the door haha. But that's my only issue with the place. It was very nice.

    We had a lovely stay at Jeffrey's houseboat. A very unique experience for staying in Amsterdam. Excellent location for accessing train station. Had all the amenities we needed. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and washing machine came in handy as we've been traveling for some time.

    The houseboat matched the listing and was a cool, fun way to spend a few days away with my youngest child. Everything was clean and well maintained and there was everything there that we needed. The location was good as well because it was just far enough out of the noisy centre, but the centre of town was an easy, quick walk away. Also well located for the zoo.

    The stairs going into the house were very slim, not wide. The stairs to the loft were also very steep, but we managed. The 2 white stands by the main door should be bolted down, as I reached for one for stability and fell by the door onto the cement, very dangerous with nothing to hold onto.

    This houseboat was very nice and clean. The location was very close to the train station which was a plus. Beds and furniture were very comfy.

    Although the kitchen seems well set up, the oven was not connected, only the hob. So it wasn't possible to oven cook or grill.

    The Houseboat is in a great location. Just a short walk from the station, but nice and quiet. Jeffrey was easy to deal with, and check in was really easy.
