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. Parking is free. 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.
