We had a wonderful stay on Choocky and Lydia's canal boat. The location is perfect, nestled on a quiet canal off the Amstel river and centrally located. Choocky met us and gave a useful orientation to the area and the boat's amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with food for breakfast, snacks, coffee, tea and a bottle of Dutch red wine (who knew?). The boat itself was comfortable if a bit rustic. It brought back childhood memories of the boat we had in Long Island when I was a kid. The sleeping area was a cozy nook and the bathroom did have that typical boat smell. Sitting out and watching the marine traffic go by while sipping wine was delightful. Dinner at U6 restaurant was accompanied by a jazz duo that quickly became a sextet! Our only disappointment was the somewhat spotty wifi internet that worked only in particular locations and dropped service often. I'm guessing a router/repeater will solve this easily. I highly recommend this canal boat to anyone looking for a real Amsterdam experience.
