We booked this boat purely based on it's look and that were were told it's on one of the most beautiful canals. We had no idea how amazing the property would be. For a couple looking to really explore this city it's location was PERFECT. Being my first time there, it was hard to gauge how big of a town it is, and we could walk to everything very quickly (no bikes needed). And although it was close to everything, the block it's on is always really quite and peaceful. Emma has set it up for a easy to check in as well. It's spacious, comfortable, has a classy minimal decorating style, stocked with supplies and information, has a large bedroom, great light, good sized shower and water pressure for a boat, a cozy living space that is great for entertaining, and georgeous views of the canal. We really felt like we lived in the Jordaan. The surrounding neighborhood is so nice and safe. It has some of the nicest cafes and shops. It's full of young professional raising their families in the relaxed dutch style. It's far away enough from all the craziness, so you really feel like your experiencing a different part of Amsterdam life. Emma and Roy were very helpful, and all of her tips were spot on for dining and bars. If Amsterdam called us back I would book this place again in a heart beat. Just book it!!!
