Quaint, well-located, unique place to stay with a great host. We wanted the Amsterdam experience-to stay on a houseboat! This fit the bill, felt like staying at a friend’s cabin. The room is accessed by a steep stair/ladder from the pilot house (where the captain stands). Wood paneling and lots of windows give it a cozy but not closed in feel. Easy to get to from Amsterdam Central. Not in the tourist part of town, a few stops away. The neighbourhood is lovely with shops, bars, and coffee only a street away. We felt safe walking home even at 1:00 am. David was easy to communicate with and responsive. The bed needs some updating, we found the frame creaky and mattress only ok.
