5 min walk to the bus stop, which took me to the tram, to central, and then virtually anywhere i needed to go. Amsterdam is small, so the commute was usually 25-35 mins. It was nice coming home to a quaint place out of the city. However, this is a houseboat so be aware there is always people walking about your roof, ducks quacking and the boat moves on occasion (once a day i felt it, probably). I enjoyed my stay.
