About this property

Central & Modern Eco-Houseboat 10 min walk to center

Beautiful, bright and private studio rooms in a recently renovated Amsterdam eco-houseboat. It has en suite bathrooms and stunning views over the IJ water. Located in the city center, nearby the famous Jordaan area.

Hello and welcome to my home at Excelsior!
I'd like to invite you to my recently renovated houseboat and be one of my first guests. After an exciting time or extensive refurbishment, I'm thrilled to finally open my doors for you!
If you're looking for an authentic stay in Amsterdam, you've come to the right place.

This eco-friendly houseboat is ideally located in the Zeeheldenbuurt, at a quiet place in the 'Oude Houthaven'. It has stunning views over the IJ water and Amsterdam North and is within walking distance of the city center (8 minutes).

Stay at my boat and you will make a contribution to the environment. By heating through a sustainable water heat pump, the houseboat uses 5x less energy, emits no CO² and does not burn fossil fuels.

The two private studio rooms (25 and 40 sqms) are equipped with everything you need. They're furnished with a comfy king sized bed (180 x 200) with crisp, white sheets and a window ceiling above your head to gaze at the stars.
Start your day with a Nespresso in the relaxing sofa or easy chairs and settle down in your life at sea.

The ensuite bathroom has a bath with stunning views over the harbor, a separate shower and luxurious bathroom amenities from Marie-Stella-Maris.
The large room has a separate toilet and gives you access to the deck. You can also use it as a private entrance.

We offer free Wi-Fi in the entire accommodation, use of bed linens, and towels.
The boat has a rich history but has recently been completely renovated and transformed into a modern BnB houseboat. The spacious room of 25m2 has a king-size bed (180 x 200) and an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower. Relax in the sofa with your cup of coffee and look out over the Oude Houthaven.

Beautiful, Clean, and Spacious Houseboat

We had an amazing visit to Amsterdam thanks to our HomeAway Houseboat Rental. We were situated exactly where most would prefer, it was very quiet on the water at night. Arie was a very gracious host who always responded quickly on any questions we had, before and during our stay. Lots of special touches that were very much appreciated, like plenty of fresh towels, designer soaps and more. Easy going and helpful. Definitely recommend Arie's houseboat when visiting Amsterdam!
