Excellent location! It's a nice quiet street with loads of cafes in walking distance. The best apple pie in the world is a one minute walk away at Winkel. The touristy stuff is very close and walkable, but you have a quiet place to sleep and better restaurants nearby in this location. The boat itself is amazing. There's nothing quite as cool as looking out the window and waving at boats as they pass. It's a total novelty and one you deserve to enjoy! The wheelhouse area is a great place to sit and watch the world pass by. I had to work a few hours each day, and I really wish my office had these views every day! Joost was great and gave us a quick intro to the local area and the boat.
