Overall nice place & you definitely want to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam! As all the reviews say, the location is terrific. We thought we were going to rent bikes, but it turns out that the biking culture is somewhat treacherous. We were more than happy to walk everywhere or take a tram. City is small, lovely, and easy to explore by walking. This is a great home base.
Our main critique of the houseboat is that it needs some updating. It looks beautiful in photographs, even ours, so the owners are not trying to mislead you with the gorgeous photographs here. But when you come down the stairs there is a weak floor that you worry if you step down hard your foot would fall through; it needs immediate repairing; the trundle bed has a rip through the mattress; and the couch has seen better days. The deck no longer has the furniture in the photographs; only four not-very-comfortable metal folding chairs now, no table, which would make eating outside while watching the river even more enjoyable. None of this spoiled our stay. Just trying to provide a realistic review.
Sitting on the deck and watching the boats go by alone makes this place worth it. We were here when it was hot, and we were grateful for the A/C: it made it possible to sleep. The owners were always ready to help.
Overall, very good stay!
