The Nova Houseboat was a clean, comfortable and relaxing space within walking distance (about 1/2 mile) of restaurants, shops and transit. Being out of town a bit meant there were fewer crowds to deal with, even during peak tulip time. Having the bikes available was a big plus for us and allowed us to get the places we needed to go easily. We were less than 5 miles from all the major attractions. The owners were very good about responding to our questions. This 2 bedroom 1.5 bath houseboat was about the same price as a small hotel room in central Amsterdam, but offered so much more space and comfort! I would definitely recommend Nova Houseboat.
