The stay on the houseboat was the jewel in our vacation in Amsterdam. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance to museums and the tram and metro. After a long day of wandering amongst the crowds, it was luscious to head back to the boat, sit out on the deck and watch the sun set over the canal. At night, when we were lucky, it rained a bit and the sound of rain on the roof sang us to sleep. Awesome!!
