A 1927 freight barge I rebuilt into a home, moored on the Prinsengracht at the edge of the Jordaan. The hull is steel, the inside is all oak and brass: a long living room with a wood stove, two cabins with proper beds (not bunks), a bathroom with a rain shower, and a galley that is a real kitchen. You step off the deck onto the canal-side and are in the Jordaan's lanes immediately; Anne Frank House is three minutes away and Centraal station fifteen. Two bikes and a kayak are yours to use. The water rocks the boat very gently when the tour boats pass; guests say they sleep better for it. The boat sleeps 4 across 2 bedrooms (bedroom 1: 1 queen bed; bedroom 2: 1 queen bed), with 1 bathroom. There is a washing machine and a proper desk, and fast wifi throughout. Check-in is from 3 pm with a lockbox by the door; checkout is by 11 am. There is no parking at the door; we don't recommend bringing a car. No pets, please. Quiet hours are 10 pm to 8 am, as the neighbours live here all year.

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
The Jordaan is the Amsterdam of the postcards: narrow canals, hofjes (hidden courtyards), brown cafés, and the Saturday market on Lindengracht. It is quieter than the centre at night and five minutes by foot from Anne Frank House and the Nine Streets.

I build and repair wooden boats on the Prinsengracht, and I live on one. The houseboat I rent out was my first restoration project and is still the one I am proudest of. I am around the yard most days, so help is never far away.

I worked from here for 10 days. The desk and the wifi were up to the job. Don't miss the Nine Streets; Pieter pointed us there and it was the best thing we did. Good speakers and good books. We stayed in more than we planned. The best kind of office.

We stayed with our two kids and it worked perfectly. The bed is extremely comfortable. Pieter told us about the Nine Streets and the Lindengracht Saturday market; both were excellent. Parking is tricky, as the listing warns; plan for it.

Jordaan is the right part of Amsterdam to stay in, and this is the right house in it. The kitchen is properly equipped, which almost never happens. Pieter told us about the Nine Streets and the Lindengracht Saturday market; both were excellent. Our favourite thing was coffee on the deck as the boats go by.

Check-in was smooth and the instructions were clear. A real coffee machine, properly stocked. Small thing, big difference. The bed is extremely comfortable. We loved the Nine Streets and the Lindengracht Saturday market, both close by. Would stay again.
