This former freighter is renovated in 2009 to live in. There are 3 apartments and this one is the largest of the 3. There are two double bedrooms, each with ensuite and seperate toilet. In the living room there is a double sofabed available. The ship is located bang in the centre of Rotterdam with restaurants, bars and shops in walking distance. There is a nice outdoor seating area with a beatiful view.
I moved to livei n one apartment on the ship with my cats in 2017 and love sharing this special place with guests from all over the world. Living on a ship is amazing!
About 5 minutes on foot is the new Markthal, cubic houses, Witte de Withstraat bustling with bars and restaurants. About 15 minutes on foot is the Erasmusbrug, museum Boymans van Beuningen and Kunsthal. Opposite the ship is a stop for the Watertaxi which brings you across the River Maas to Hotel New York , Phoenix Food factory or SS Rotterdam.
