“ Wonderful experience! You were very nice and hospitable and can't imagine a more enjoyable place to stay while in Amsterdam. Also, with all due respect, your daughter is a good-hearted (and beautiful) young woman and I was happy to have met her as well. Thanks again, Doug Belton ”

“ A small apartment on a boat - pretty cool. V clean, good furniture, internet, sitting area, nice kitchen. Good shower. Only negative was the lack of windows - you can't see the water. No hassle from owners who didn't mind smoking and even recommended a coffeeshop. We'll visit again. ”

Description of Marie-Anns Houseboat/Deo Volente
Marie-Anns-Houseboat is only a ten minutes walk from Centraal Station. Yet, as it is tied up alongside a dead end road, it is an oasis of rest compared with the inner-city. You can relax quietly rocking on the water after a hectic day in our beautiful town. We offer two double rooms, each with two single beds that can be put together. There is a shared toilet and shower, a kitchen with microwave, gas cooker and we offer free coffee or tea. It's like renting your own apartement in Amsterdam. Every room has TV, radio/CD player and safe-deposit. Sitting on the roof of the Marie-Anns Hosueboat/Deo Volente you have a beautiful view over the old city. CHECK OUT: BEFORE 10.30 CHECK IN: BETWEEN 11.00 AND 14.00 If you wish to check in at a different time we need to know at least one day before your arrival. There is no curfew and smoking is allowed.
