Renata was a wonderful host - friendly, funny, helpful. The houseboat is surprisingly spacious, cosy, well furnished and features many creative details. The Location is simply great, you can even use a small boat to paddle on the canal or swim in the canal. The houseboat is located on in the North of Amsterdam. It takes a ten minutes walk to the free ferry that carries you to the city side of Amsterdam and another 15 minutes by bus to the Center. Renting bikes is recommended. You can park your car in front of the houseboat.
