We really enjoyed our stay on this houseboat. It is a 10 minute walk from the train station (for day trips to Delft, Haarlem, Den Haag, etc.) and close to the heart of Amsterdam. The neighborhood is quiet. When it was raining, it was water-tight. And even though it's on the water, it didn't feel damp. The host provided an excellent list of instructions and recommendations, and a variety of travel guidebooks for the city. The bed is comfortable, but is only accessible from one side. There was plenty of hot water for showers.
