“Houseboat Vliegenbos offers a distinctive Amsterdam experience, trading standard hotel rooms for a modern houseboat stay on the canal. The inclusion of a full kitchen and outdoor terrace enhances the sense of independent living, while the location balances quiet relaxation with convenient access to the city center. In my opinion, its appeal lies in providing both a unique accommodation and a family-friendly atmosphere.”
