This spacious houseboat is about a 15 minute drive from the heart of Amsterdam. Parking is easy but during the day it would cost 8 euros to park if you are leaving your car. We took our car into the city and had no real problems with parking there and would recommend it as long as you are willing to deal with bycicle traffic. The space was quiet and comfortable, it's on 5 levels connected by stairs. The upper level gets really hot on warm days. There is no air conditioning. At night there are mosquitoes outside which fly inside if you open the windows. The space is family friendly but it could be a little bit cleaner.
