Our stay at this lovely houseboat was wonderful. There are multiple skylights which fill the common area with bright sunlight and blue sky. The interior is modern and was immaculately clean. The location is exceptional. The boat is in a quiet, safe residential old neighborhood but is only a few minutes away from a multitude of shops and restaurants. It’s easy to walk to Amsterdam’s major museums and sites. (Also, the boat is quite close to the trolley and bus lines.)
Or you can sit on the deck and watch the diverse collection of boats and people traveling back and forth on the canals.
My only warning - there is a steep, narrow entrance which could be challenging if you have any large, heavy suitcases.
