Michèle's houseboat is an amazing place to stay in Amsterdam. it's near the best neighborhood in Amsterdam i.e. de Pijp. all connections via tram, metro are possible to city center. Many good restaurants, museums and shopping streets are at walkable distance. Michèle herself is very responsive to all queries and check- in was very flexible. she gives a very detailed information about Amsterdam. We were able to plan accordingly. We could see birds every morning in the canal from our houseboat window. However we chose to stay in the houseboat in peak winters (December) which was not a suitable time as it was too cold due to lack of window shutters outside. she tried to fix the problem as soon as possible and had extra blankets as well for us. the room was comparatively small, the bathroom and toilet could be separated by an additional slide door but it is good enough for short stay and relaxation. overall, it was a very nice stay and great experience at her place. thank you Michèle🤗
