I can only recommend the Tasmania in Amsterdam !! We had a beautiful 2 nights stay on the tasmania. We arrived a little bit late at night at about 9pm. We parked our car in Noord for free and then took the free ferry to the Houthavens (i hope i spelled it correctly). We were a little bit concerned, that the ferry won't take us to the houseboat anymore, because of being so late, but they depart until 11:50pm. Great! When we got to the tasmania Sonja and Michael were welcoming us very warmly. They were very courteous and helpful. Once we got to our studio we are absolutely astonished by the style of it. It is so modern and comfy. The bed was a dream, it was like sleeping on a cloud! There was a Nespresso-Coffeemachine which we could use, a well filled fridge with cheese, yoghurt, butter, marmalade and everything you can think of. Bread for breakfast and a bottle of champagne. We were really looking forward to spending the next few days here. We always used Sonja's two bikes to go to the city center and it only took us about 10 minutes to get there. The central station is also very close to the tasmania. It's about 4 minutes by bike. We had to take the metro to get to a concert on saturday and Sonja was really helpful and told us how to get there the easiest and cheapest way. We will definitely come back someday. I guess we'll never stay anywhere else anymore when we travel to amsterdam. The tasmania is the most beautiful houseboat you'll ever see and staying there is really relaxing. Especially, when you put the chairs on the deck and get some rest in the sun! Thank you Sonja and Michael for sharing your dreamboat with us. ABSOLUTELY GREAT.
