Simply amazing! Eric's houseboat will give you an experience you will never forget. We were personally greeted by Marije who showed us the boat and explained everything we needed as well as information on Amsterdam and what to see and where to go. They even gave us a welcome gift of local specialties (which were delicious). The location cannot be beaten, out far enough that it has all the benefits of not being right in the tourist area, but steps away from the tram (not too close so no problems with noise) which gives you access to all parts of Amsterdam. Close to lovely restaurants and bars - the local Italian is a must. Everything anyone could want for their visit to Amsterdam. Thoroughly recommended.
