Curious to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam? We are happy to invite you to ark B&B Watervilla Albertje. It is an ideal place to visit the city. The free ferry sailes to downtown center in 12 minutes, an exiting adventure itself! The bed and breakfast has a private entrance and two rooms with wide view over the water and its various water inhabitants. Private bathrooms. In the garden you can use your own terrace. In the morning a delicious and varied breakfast is served. Our canal in Amstardam Noord is a branch of the IJ and has its origin at the NDSM (a former giant shipyard) where the B&B is situated at about 900 meters distance. The NDSM site - with its industrial and yet charming character - offers various great places to eat, drink and chill while enjoying breathtaking views over the IJ. The IJ-halls (the former shipbuilding halls) are decor to various happenings, e.g. the largest flea market and the hippest music and cultural festivals.
