Perfect location, quiet but central
We stayed three nights (family of four) in Casper’s boat. The location is perfect, short walk to/from Centraal Station and easy to get to everything within the city. Casper’s communication was top-notch and the accommodations on the boat were exactly as advertised. Highly recommended.

Houseboat Apartment
This was a fun and different experience to stay at the houseboat apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and Casper was a terrific host. He met us for checking in and gave us a quick tour of the boat. I loved that he lives in the front of the boat if there are problems. The location was perfect for shopping, dining and being so close to many attractions. Thank you for hosting us!

From the outside it didn't look like much but inside was clean and spacious. Be sure to bring shampoo and soap as it is not supplied.

Reasonably priced accommodations near Centraal
Beds were comfortable and clean. Each room had a shower with a separate toilet. Kitchen was well stocked. Heads up that there’s no soap or shampoo in the showers.

Unique experience/Houseboat stay
This houseboat is a great location near Central Station. The host is very responsive and friendly. The 2 bedrooms each have a shower but toilet is separate and shared. Beds were comfortable, one has 2 twins and one has 2 twins pushed together. Kitchen was spacious..has medium size frig, stove, dishwasher but no microwave or freezer. The steps going down into the boat are very steep but once inside it was very quiet .. Thank you Casper for a great stay

Outside area needs upkeep.
I loved the whole experience of being on a houseboat and the location was exceptional. Just in need of a little love. Fresher towels, outside furniture dangerously broken down, cleaning up area from ground trash. Casper was helpful.

Our stay in Amsterdam…
Great time in Amsterdam, and on the Houseboat. The weather couldn’t have cooperated any better. We were centrally located, with most sights relatively close by - a quick walk to the Central Train Station for further exploration - Thank You Casper!

Wonderful houseboat
Caspar made us feel very welcome. He met us and showed us all around the houseboat, gave us a couple of excellent restaurant recommendations, and he even checked in with us after a while to see how we were doing. The houseboat was so comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it to other people.

Quelle déception !
Points positifs : emplacement de la péniche - propreté de l'appartement
Points négatifs : environnement (épaves de bateaux) et aspect extérieur de la péniche (plastique sur le toit tenu par des pierres) - accès difficile à l'appartement et surtout (escalier très raide) Impossible pour les personnes à mobilité réduite. Les hublots sont rouillés.
Bizarre qu'aucun commentaire ne mentionne ces désagréments !
Vraiment nous avons été déçus quand nous avons vu la péniche.

Tolle Lage
Die Lage des Bootes ist toll, nah an der Innenstadt, am Bahnhof, an Museen, alles zu Fuß erreichbar.
Die Wohnküche ist schön geräumig, so dass am gut zu mehreren am Tisch sitzen bzw. sich dort aufhalten kann, auch an Regentagen.
Alles sauber und in den Betten haben wir gut geschlafen.
