We had an amazing time on Rinze's house boat. Even though it was cold outside, we still enjoyed opening the window to socialize with the ducks and swans. One of the best experiences we have had! We often didn't want to leave the house boat! It is located on a quiet street that is very close to bars and restaurants and only about a 10 minute walk to the center of town. I would recommend going to the marqt, the supermarket around the corner. Also, winkle43 (recommended by Rinze) had amazing apple pie and was just a block or two away (we went twice).
We will definitely be staying here whenever we return to Amsterdam!
Thanks Rinze!
