The houseboat was great! The description was spot on to what it was like. After a busy 10 days of traveling and staying in hotels, it was so nice to have a coffee maker (with coffee provided) and a mini kitchen. We were able to walk the 5 minutes to a grocery store which is right next to the metro and get some food for one dinner and stuff to pack sandwiches for our days out in Amsterdam. It was fun and relaxing to watch the ducks and and other activity around the boat. The downstairs where you sleep was very quiet and nice and cool. The shower's water pressure was really high too.

My only suggestion would be to add a shade to the front windows similar to the one that is on the side window. We came back to the house boat to rest around 5-7 each night before dinner and it was very very bright and hot. We wore sunglasses and even sat facing the couch :) When the sun went behind the buildings right around 7 it was perfect. I am sure during winter and cloudy days it would be fine without though.

We would stay again!
