Hanco's place is AMAZING. The location is about the best you can get in Amsterdam, 5 minutes from Centraal Station, right next to a GREAT cafe / restaurant. The houseboat itself is amazing. We sat in bed and watched the swans, moorhens and ducks swim around, we watched the boats from the living room. Our kids loved seeing people going past and watching the canal.
The decor is fantastic, it's a beautiful place. It really feels like a home.
Hanco was a great host, gave us wine and beer on arrival, was really friendly and helpful.
We plan to come back soon!
