Friedrich was a charming host, and made sure that all of my needs were met, even if he himself was unavailable. Rosita was warm and welcoming, with a beautiful pot of tulips upon my arrival there, and a package of caramel stroop wafel, which quickly became one of my favorite new food items.
The Rosita was exactly as pictured: clean, bright, sturdy, and spacious (for two people). The bed was extremely comfortable, and the gentle rocking of the boat on some nights provided some of the most pleasant sleeping conditions I have yet to encounter while traveling. I do believe that I was asleep before my head even hit the pillow!
The neighborhood was quiet, especially for being located in the center of town. It was an easy walk from the central train station to Rosita, and I was able to walk from there to all of the museums, attractions, and restaurants that I visited, which I found extremely convenient.
This was an ideal home away from home, and should I have occasion to return to Amsterdam, I hope I will be able to stay at Friedrich's Rosita again.
