My daughter and I had a wonderful stay on Marc’s houseboat. Marc is wonderfully hospitable and a really great host. The houseboat is stylishly decorated and very clean. The beds are comfortable and the shower is strong and hot. The location is absolutely brilliant with just a short walk to the wharf where you can catch a free ferry across to Amsterdam Centraal until late at night. The last ferry back to NSDM from Amsterdam Centraal is just before midnight so you can stay out late and enjoy Amsterdam at night. The houseboat village has real character and was nice and quiet at night - no noisy roads or neighbours. There is free parking although you should note that this is within the Amsterdam clean air zone, so some diesel cars are not allowed within the zone. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Marc’s fabulous houseboat - much more fun than staying in an apartment!
