Nicole was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early so we could sleep off our jet leg before checking out Amsterdam. The houseboat is cozy and comfortable with a private room (with shower) in the basement. The location of the houseboat is beautiful (near Westerpark) but is not all that convenient to the centre of Amsterdam. That being said, Jordaan is nearby and there are lots of cute cafés etc in the neighborhood. Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality Nicole!
