A unique experience. As soon as you enter the boat you feel it's something special. We, family of five, ( from NL, living in Australia) had an awesome 3 nights. The location is perfect and the views incredible, I couldn't stop taking photos. It's beautifully decorated and so big! We had a lot of fun looking at the tour boats passing by and their passengers, waving at them and laughing. We felt like we were truly a part of Amsterdam! It was quite cold outside but the boat was warm enough ( the floor heating in the bathroom was almost too hot!) and the kids loved the cosy corner and the fact that wifi was very good. The tv is excellent too. We loved that we could just walk anywhere. For instance, the Anne Frank house is so close by , we could just go back home when the cue was a bit too long and return a bit later. Nice cafes and restaurants on your doorstep. It felt a bit like the boat lies tilted in the water, which you might have to get used to. Apart from that it did not move much at all, just a bit of rocking back and forth which was nice. We did not meet Joost nor Anna in person but kept in touch with Joost through texts and a phone call. Joost seemed quite friendly and was flexible with check in/ check out times which was much appreciated. Just some minor critical comments : We did find the slightly mouldy odor, which one notices when entering the boat, a bit unpleasant. It might have to do with the fact that, due to winter temperatures the windows are mainly closed. Also we would have loved to have some more storage space in the bedrooms and beautiful bathroom. Little details like hand towels would have been great. But like I said, it's not not really important because we had a blast!
