Location, Location, Location!
The houseboat is in a perfect location. Short walk to the train station, metro station, restaurants, "coffee" shops, red light district, Rembrandt house, supermarket, little specially shops, canal tours, hop on off bus, diamond factory and Sky line view. You can experience everything Amsterdam has to offer in a few minutes.
Please be advised there are multiple stairs, ladders and other obstacles to access the boat. All very doable and you learn a few tricks but still can be a little challenging.
The boat is large and extremely comfortable and the beds were wonderful. Kitchen is well equipped and the hosts supplied us with some starter food. Rain shower and bath tub worked beautifully.
Having coffee on the deck watching the boats go by will be a long term memory. Note that the deck is very hot mid day so bring your sunscreen.
Our gracious hosts were very accommodating.
Live like a Dutch national on a houseboat! I was able to cross this off my bucket list!
