This is a wonderful place to stay! Wilfred's friend Liliana met U.S. and let us in. The boat has plenty of space and is very comfortable. We loved watching all the water birds in the canal. There are grocery stores and restaurants very close to the boat. We walked to everything, never more than 45 min, but there are also trams and buses nearby if you don't want to walk. One tram goes right to the Rijksmuseum. I would definitely recommend this place for a stay in Amsterdam.
