The houseboat was definitely an experience. It felt much smaller than advertised and was much farther from attractions in Amsterdam than it seemed on the listing. We thought we would be in a quintessential Amsterdam canal but were instead in a marina near a hotel with other working boats. It was easy to get to from centraal station which was convenient on arrival from the airport. Also we were told that there would be keys in the boat when we arrived, which was not the case, and when asked about them the host said not to worry since the marina was very safe. The beds are very small, cozy, but small. The bathroom on the boat and in the marina harbour office were very clean however and it was easy to shower. The Wi-Fi also didn’t reach the entire boat.
If you’re looking for a quintessential Amsterdam houseboat on a canal with the slanted buildings in the background, this is not the boat for you! But if you are looking for a functional houseboat this would do!
