About Martin

Wohnen auf diesem Hausboot wird hier zur Wirklichkeit und bleibt nicht nur ein Traum. Alles ist da, es fehlt an nichts. Die Einrichtung ist pfiffig gelöst, gemütlich und zum Wohlfühlen.

It was a warm welcome in a really unique and magic place. The houseboat is in a really peacefull area, so the only sound you hear for saying good night is the nice sound of water. The seawatertoilet is a little experience, but quite suitable for a houseboat.

ein hausboot ist etwas besonderes. die lage ist überraschend ruhig, wenn auch weit draußen. ist mit der straßenbahn (25min.) aber gut zu erreichen. leider gab es nur ein bettlaken. das hat uns am guten schlaf gehindert ;-)
wohnen in amsterdam ist teuer, so relativieren sich die doch höheren kosten.

Gute Parkmöglichkeiten,
öffentliche Verkehrsmittel in 100m Entfernung
wunderschöne Aussicht (Baby-Schwäne inklusive)
ideal für Naturliebhaber

In the private room and on the houseboat there is a special, fantastic atmosphere. we feel home.
We enjoy our time in Amsterdam and had an fantastic time on the houseboat.

Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man eine Art von Camping mag. Das Boot ist hübsch eingerichtet.

Was für ein Hammer! So ist es, wenn lang gehegter Wunsch wahr wird. Wir hatten viel Spaß auf dem Boot.

superbe et tellement depaysant,une bonne nuit dans une bonne literie ;
pas de mal de 'mer'

It's really neat and cosy to stay in Martins houseboat. It really gives you a good feeling about the city and how to live in an alternative way. It'll be the first option for us again.

We had a wonderful stay in Amsterdam and on Martin's houseboat.Staying there made our trip to Amsterdam even more special than a usual stay in a hotel. The boat is 5 walking minutes away from a tram station, so we could take a tram to the central station every 10 minutes or so. The location is about 20 tram minutes away from the central station. But as the way to the central station is really exciting too and full of nice restaurants we often didn't ride the whole way but got out in the middle and explored that area.
In Martin's boat we got everything we needed. The interiour is stylish and we slept very well in the comfy bed. :) As we got a key we could come home when we wanted to.
We highly recommend this place. :)

Martin's houseboat was the best way we can imagine, to visit Amsterdam.It is very authentic, and much better than an usual hotel room.
Additionally we can advise you to rent a bike for your city trip in Amsterdam. The location of the houseboat is perfect for that.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt auf dem Hausboot es hat ein fantastisches Wohnzimmer und man kann mit dem Boot auch Fahrten machen wenn man es vorher abspricht.

The houseboat was a fabulous way to get a unique perspective and feel for Amsterdam! We found it a bit tricky to find and it takes a while to travel to and from, but the tram makes it very accessible. We only stayed for one night, but would have loved to stay longer.

Der Urlaub begann bereits ab der 1. Minute. Das Schiff wurde mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und hat eine wunderbare Lage - auf der einen Seite der Fluß, auf der anderen Seite ein Park. Vor der Reise war ich etwas skeptisch wegen der stark befahrenen Brücke in der Nähe, aber das fiel überhaupt nicht ins Gewicht. Ich würde diese kuschelige Kajüte jederzeit einer doppelt so großen Ferienwohnung vorziehen.

Unser Besuch auf Martin's Hausboot war perfekt! Natürlich wohnt man auf einem Boot und nicht im Hotel, aber genau das ist so einzigartig und schön. Das Boot hat alles was man braucht.
Die Lage ist zwar eigentlich nur 4 Sterne wert, aber mit dem geliehenen Rad kann man alles super erreichen. Und dafür ist das parken vor Ort "entspannter". Nur zu empfehlen!!!

The houseboat is very clean an nice.
It is better than on the picute. :-)

The boat is located very nicely on the Amstel. Despite a large bridge nearby it is quiet, a tram station is just a minute away and brings you into the center of town within some 20 minutes. The boat was clean, has a very nice and special atmosphere (as it is a houseboat plus Martin´s style), the bed is large and very good, too. And of course sitting on deck with a coffee or a glass of wine, barefooted in the sun, overlooking the river...very relaxing!

It is a really nice boat and only 10min from the train station. Nearby you have a small but very nice park where you can enjoy the sun.

Es gibt keinen genialeren ort, um in amsterdam zu schlafen, als auf dem hausboot. Entgegen unserer erwartung war das hausboot super komfortabel und modern eingerichtet. Wir kommen gerne jederzeit wieder.

Alloggio strepitoso, davvero accogliente e ben curato, pulitissimo, ordinato e pieno di servizi, camera matrimoniale riservata, casa calda e accogliente. Rimane in una zona tranquilla della città, c'è una fermata del tram a pochi metri che arriva direttamente in centro. Un pochino più difficoltoso il trasporto notturno, ma comunque raggiungibile con gli autobus e un tratto a piedi.

Aunque no es sencillo llegar y está un poco alejado del centro, es un alojamiento fantástico para relajarte y disfrutar del "otro" Amsterdam con las vistas al río y del parque de al lado. El barco es su casa pero tiene las zonas comunes que puedes utilizar tranquilamente. La decoración es moderna y sencilla. Es genial dormir en el camarote con los ojos de buey y ver reflejado los brillos del río en el techo.

Fantastic place to stay for an Amsterdam trip, even in November. You can go for a run in the outback (very nice) or just catch the tram to the city center (2 mins walk) or the bike. Lovely boat, everything was perfect!

The houseboat was great! I would suggest this place for Amsterdam visits - just about 15 Min away from the city and sleeping and waking up at the river is amazing!

Fantastic place to stay at. Exactly like the pictures posted here. It is cosy and with a nice view.

The place is very charming and for us a perfect surounding for our stay in Amsterdam. We enjoyed the warmth and cosyness including the cat.

Martin was great as was his home! Really...what a treat to be on a houseboat in Amsterdam. It was nice to sit out at night on the river.

The place to be! It was soo cool staying at the houseboat. Beautifully furnished, really roomy and bright. Chilling on deck in the morning or enjoying the setting sun in the evening was so relaxing. Unfortunately we only spent one night there, we would have loved to stay longer!

5 stars deluxe - the houseboat looks as beautiful as on the pictures, the beds are comfortable and sitting on deck in the Fatboy with a coffee in my hand was unbeatable.
