We never actually met Emma but her houseboat was perfect for our trip to Amsterdam. The location in the Jordan was a great spot to be. Lots of shops and restaurants around but quieter than the main center of town. But still a very easy walk into the center. Boat can get very hot during the day but Emma had fans for us and it really cooled off at night. There's also a great Coffeeshop nearby called Paradox. Definitely check it out :)
