The house boat was a perfect and cozy place to come home to every evening after exploring the city of Amsterdam. The street market every day was 1 of our favorite parts of the neighborhood. The roof deck was a great way to end the day watching the boats go by. We loved the cute little duck that came to visit our window every day. The boat was super convenient to every where we needed to explore. I was very pleased we stayed in De Pijp instead of the main downtown area. I was with my daughter, but I think the boat would be a lovely place for a couple. You can't beat that deck. We drank coffee in the evening because it was the fall. The summer is probably even more magical to sit and watch Amsterdam life.
