Staying on the Stella Rask was a delight. Not only were Frank & Marije great hosts -- even allowing us to drop off our bags before check-in time -- but the space is lovely & unique. While small, it is well designed & clean. Frank & Marije had a small bottle of wine, a couple local beers, & some Dutch chocolate waiting for us when we checked in. Marije gave us a great recommendation for a nearby cafe when we first arrived (Cafe Mads) & there were even guidebooks on the table for us to look through. De Oude Houthavens is a bit farther outside the heart of Jordaan & Amsterdam Centraal, but we knew that going in & found the walks pleasant & manageable. Staying on a houseboat was a unique way to experience Amsterdam, & we really enjoyed our time on the Stella Rask.
