When we are coming to Amsterdam again, we will definitely stay at a houseboat like this, instead of hotels. The neighborhood is quiet and yet it is located in central area with many good restaurants and cafes.
Although it is floating like a boat, we hardly feel any movement. So don't worry, you won't be getting any motion sickness.
The place is compact, but it has everything you need like in an apartment. Plus you have the view to the canal and frequent visit from the birds, geese and ducks.
The host is super friendly and helpful.
