Great location for what we wanted, quiet and peaceful, totally residential but walking distance to multiple grocery stores and a cute cafe and a very fancy restaurant. Close to the tram which will take you wherever you need to go. We weren’t met by anyone during check in or out so we weren’t able to get the bikes during our stay but I honestly don’t know if we would’ve used them especially since I’m not a very good biker and Amsterdam is serious about bicycling. A note that we did not realize, the houseboat is in the basement of a houseboat with a full wooden house on top. We didn’t realize this is what the boat looked like and thought we were in the wrong place. Luckily a very sweet neighbor let us in, the door was actually unlocked. Make sure you get clear instructions on your check in. The instructions on getting to the houseboat are accurate. It’s very cute instead though quite small with very low ceilings. My husband and I are 5’10” and 5’8” and we still hit our heads at least once a day. Bed was very comfortable and the boat had all the amenities we need. Overall good experience though I don’t think we would book again.
