We loved staying on the houseboat! The location is perfect, right in the center of town and easily walkable to anywhere you want to go. It is on a main canal, but the noise was not a problem. Once inside the houseboat it was very quiet. I was a little worried that it would be damp and cold in the winter, but it was very warm and cozy. So cool to be right on the water! Very clean, great beds, great kitchen and bathroom. I have stayed on other houseboats in Amsterdam, and this one is much better! We would definitely stay here again!
