Absolutely loved staying on Wilfred's houseboat! It's on a beautiful and safe quaint street with grocery stores and restaurants nearby. We found a lovely vegan cafe where we had breakfast almost every morning right around the corner. If you want to get to the center of town it's an easy walk. Just go to the end of the street and make a right and walk straight to the center of the action! Lots of things to do and see on the way. We were lucky enough to be in Amsterdam for Kings Day and the location was perfect. Close enough to the action but we were able to go back to the house boat and sit on the porch and drink our complimentary bottle of wine in peace when the crowds got to be too much. The boat itself is beautiful, with modern updates. Would definitely stay again!
