We spent five days and nights at Ray's houseboat and loved everything about it. It's comfortable and a really cool place. Ray greeted us upon arrival and made us feel very welcome. He provided great suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. The location is perfect, only about a 10 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station, easy walking distance to many museums and restaurants and yet the neighborhood is quiet and very peaceful. A real gem. We highly recommend Ray's houseboat.
