If you are looking for an authentic houseboat experience in Amsterdam, Peter's lovely listing is perfect for you. The boat is near the university, with cafes, a tram stop, and the zoo only a few minutes away. The heart of the city takes about 15 minutes to reach via the tram.
The boat was clean, and Peter was friendly and helpful. He welcomed us with wine, Stroopwaffles, and information about the city to make our stay more memorable.
