We stayed here with my dad and brother and had a great time. We all thought it was a unique experience to stay on a house boat in Amsterdam. It is very close to the Centraal Station - about 10 min walking - and although the trains run by the location, it wasn't too loud for us. It was very easy to walk into the city from there and have access to eateries, groceries, and attractions. All the beds were comfortable beds including the sofa bed. Water pressure was great in the bathroom and water heated up quickly. There is a clothes washer and dryer, which was a very nice bonus!
Manuel is friendly, responsive, and hard working. He has a cat, Alexandra, which was a happy surprise for us as we all love animals and don't have allergies. Even though we share the houseboat with them, neither were around much so we had lots of privacy. Thank you Manuel and Alexandra for the lovely stay!
