The houseboat was a very peaceful and refreshing place to stay during my trip to Amsterdam for a conference. I often wanted to stay on the boat and watch the canal boats and water birds rather than leave! The bed was comfy, and it's very nice to have a refrigerator and kitchenette. I had trouble figuring out the heating, but the hosts were quick to respond and help! Highly recommend this unique stay, and would love to stay again!
