We had a fantastic stay at the boat and our hosts were very welcoming. The accommodation is spacious and super clean, but also quirky and fun. It is really convenient for public transport, the number 63 bus runs frequently to Central Station and it's a 5 minute walk from the boat to the bus stop. We really appreciated the extra touches in the boat, Pringles and chocolate, perfect! Having shampoo, conditioner and shower gel was also great as we took hand luggage only. The district that the boat is in has lots of lovely food shops, a bakery that does the best cheese croissants and restaurants too. We visited the Cancun restaurant a bus ride away and had some delicious food, we highly recommend it. In short the boat was perfect, the location fantastic and we would love to return. Cat & Tony

Sander’s houseboat was the ideal place to spend my time in Amsterdam. The location was so convenient to get around the city, and the neighborhood was lovely. Sander and his family made check-in a breeze. The apartment is exactly as pictured, and it was a real delight to get to stay there.

My friend and I stayed on the Mado. Great location, wonderful host who always had good recommendation. Short walk to restaurants and about a 10 minutes bus ride to Amsterdam Centraal. You can start your mornings with a refreshing swim off the deck by the boat and finish it with a cocktail on deck.

We loved staying aboard this amazing house boat. The water was a perfect temperature for swimming, there are amazing restaurants and bars in walking distance, and you don’t have to deal with all the crazy hustle of the city. The hosts were fantastic, and full of information. We will be returning!

We loved staying on the boat, our kids (3 and 5) thought it was magical and especially loved the swing on deck. A great base for exploring Amsterdam.

As soon as you step on, it really is breathtaking… the phenomenal views around, the swing on the deck of the boat, swimming area right next to the boat. You really do get to experience the dandy lifestyle of boat living! We loved that there were barely any tourists!! swimming area, near by fantastic restaurants, were all filled with the locals. You get to witness the locals way of life here, yet you are near to the intensity of Amsterdam. Transportations near by but we walked and biked to Amsterdam central station. The unit was very clean and beautiful. We stayed in August and the cross venting summer breeze through the nautical windows were wonderful. This stay was terrific for our family as our son was able to enjoy swimming, play soccer at the soccer court with goals right by the boat, during the morning and evening resting times. I could just keep eye on him while relaxing on the deck of the boat. Host was friendly and provided easy and fast communications.

Staying on MADO was the highlight of our time in Amsterdam. It is the perfect home base: quick and easy to get to the hustle and bustle of downtown Amsterdam, but off to the side enough to be relaxing, safe, and quiet for sleeping. Sander answered all of our questions beforehand, sent recommendations of places to eat, things to do etc, and was always available if needed (although we didn't need a thing). The MADO is very clean, exceptionally comfortable, very well stocked (the treats and drinks on arrival were very much appreciated). The space is bigger than the images lead you to believe; I was afraid of feeling trapped, but not at all! Lots of windows and space in the little suite. We loved watching the locals swim and sun bath next to the boat, and the kids enjoyed swimming too. We WILL be back (and for longe next time). Thank you for a wonderful experience ❤️
