If you are going to Amsterdam, staying in Otto’s houseboat is a must. Incredible experience being on the canals and feeling like a true local. The view from the boat is amazing. The neighborhood of Oud-West is perfect. Not touristy but plenty of amazing cafes and restaurants for easy meals or coffee. It’s also centrally located and easy to get to all surrounding attractions and other neighborhoods. The best part is the little balcony you can sit out on the canal. Even in chilly November we enjoyed and it was beautiful. Thanks Otto!!
