Life on a houseboat is an experience not to be missed when in Amsterdam. Simon and Rinze's boat is located in an excellent area in that is it quiet, close to everything and very safe. We would be out and think of stopping to have a drink at some expensive bar and then think - no, let's go back home and have happy hour at our window saying cheers to all the boats passing by, who are also having happy hour! I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone even thinking about it!
