My friend and I just got back from an amazing stay in Amsterdam at Juul and Iris' beautiful boat. They were helpful from the moment we arrived and they were even nice enough to help find a bike small enough for my "less than tall" friend. With the bikes it was an easy 15 minute cycle to central station and the area was great as it was residential and quiet, but still had a supermarket and some cafes etc. Had a fantastic time and would definitely stay again!
