Staying on the houseboat was the highlight of Amsterdam! Sitting on the top deck watching canal life flow past was a treat. The boat was spacious and comfortable, and the location is perfect - central but quiet, close to shops, bakeries, transport, and it is right outside the Opera & Ballet. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Our flight from Australia arrived early and Daan stowed our three bike bikes and three suitcases aboard his own boat so that we could go exploring Amsterdam. When we returned at check-in time, Monica had very kindly installed all our luggage inside the boat for us - thank you! We would recommend this listing if you want to enjoy a special Amsterdam experience.
