Jan's houseboat is charming place to call home for a few days in Amsterdam. It has an abundance of character and Jan has thoughtfully stocked it with every conceivable amenity. Although it is located a little distance from the town centre, getting there by tram is no problem at all while staying away from the tourists and among local residents gives a wonderful perspective to this amazing city. Jan was friendly and communicated well. He was there to welcome us to his houseboat and was very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. This is a highly recommended stay.
