We had a great stay at Barbara's houseboat. It is located in the Jordaan district, one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Amsterdam with a lot of cute cafés and restaurants. We can recommend the café "piqniq" for breakfast and the tapas bar "duende" for dinner. Within a 15 minute walk, you can reach the city center (dam). Barbara and her family are very nice and easygoing. The cabin is very cozy with its own shower and bathroom (space is a bit limited). If you want to have an authentic stay in Amsterdam, we can recommend this place 100%.
