3. Amsterdam houseboat (from USD 301)
This unique houseboat can host up to four guests, but don’t think that you’ll be cramped for space because there is plenty of room onboard. In fact, one of the bedrooms even has an ensuite! But, if you would rather be outside on a sunny day, you can sit on the terrace with fantastic views of the River Amstel, the infamous Blauwbrug (Blue bridge), and even the Opera House. The location is very central and so is a perfect base for exploring Amsterdam and its hidden delights; this location is in walking distance to many tourist hotspots. There is also a late night shop nearby, which is perfect to stop by on the way home. The property has been mindfully decorated and so it seems spacious and bright with white walls and furnishings with little colour-pop detailing throughout.

4. Traditional Dutch building (from USD 192)
This beautiful traditional style Dutch bedroom at the back of the property is on one of the oldest streets in Amsterdam. This is a cosy bed and breakfast in a fantastic location just walking distance from shops, cafés, lots of restaurants, museums, and even theaters. We love that this room seems to hold plenty of secrets: the bed was once a hidden bed in a cupboard. The room is fairly small but has seating space and tea and coffee making facilities, you’ll have access to a bathroom. It is worth noting that as this bedroom is in a B&B; breakfast is included in the price and is made from local produce… the perfect way to start your day.

7. Quiet room in central Amsterdam (from USD 90)
We adore this bright and spacious loft conversion double bedroom in a 17th century monument. The surrounding area is very quiet and offers a perfect location for those of you who want to enjoy the delights that a central location has to offer but still want to rest after your day exploring. The host also lives in the property, so you’ll have access to the toilet and shower, which are both located in the hallway, there is also a refrigerator and coffee machine in the room for your use. It is worth noting that the rental is up two very steep flights of stairs so may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

10. Budget bedroom near Schiphol
This small but comfortable bedroom is perfect for a single traveller and has plenty of home comforts such as tea and coffee making facilities, Wi-Fi, a microwave, and refrigerator. There are other rooms for renting in the property and so it is worth being aware that you might be sharing the property with other guests. It will take about one hour to get from the property to Amsterdam city center, however there is plenty to do in the surrounding area such as two small shopping centers, luxury restaurants, a local pub, and even a children’s animal farm. We also also love the fact that you can rent bikes from the host and enjoy the nearby nature trails.

12. Luxury independent ship studio
We’re swapping basic comfort to a luxury splash out with this listing! This unique property is a private and well equipped independent studio on a family ship. The boat is moored on Java Island, so is in view of central station and the harbour, but apart from the excellent location, you’ll also benefit from the kitchenette, double bed, and lounge area. One of our favourite things about this property has to be the the exceedingly large sun deck which catches the sun from morning to night. We also love the additional extras including free bike access, free tea and coffee with welcome beverages in the fridge, complimentary breakfast produce, and Wi-Fi.
