We just spent a fabulous two nights on Daans boat. The location is very central (maybe a 15 minute walk from the central train station) but there is very little noise disturbance. We enjoyed strolling around the city and sightseeing and the boat is in the perfect location, within a short walking distance of most tourist spots.The views along the canal from the boat are beautiful.. One of the prettiest sunsets I've seen! It's lovely to sit on the rooftop terrace in the evening with a glass of wine and watch people and boats going by. The boat is well equipped with everything you need and the bed was so comfy (just what you need after a tiring day exploring the sights of Amsterdam) It's a lovely experience to stay on a boat rather than a hotel or apartment.
We were greeted by Monika on our arrival and met Daan twice during our stay, both were really welcoming and helpful. Daan even let us leave our bags on his nearby boat on our last day as we weren't leaving until late evening.
This was one of the nicest short breaks I've ever had and Daans boat comes highly recommended. :)
