I highly recommend this lodging while staying in Amsterdam. It was spotless, comfortable, unique and so much better than staying in a hotel. About a 10 minute walk from the train station and 20 minutes to the cruise port. Can easily roll your luggage to both. Great grocery store about a 10 minute walk to pick up items for small meals--the boat has a small frig, dishes and stove top. Close to shopping, restaurants and sights but on a quiet canal. The hosts live on the boat but in a separate area. They both work, so be sure to schedule check in time so they are available when you arrive. We had a little problem when our arrival was delayed due to airport issues. Get phone numbers and back up plans to avoid delays. There are bikes included but we found the bike traffic in the city somewhat intimidating. There is a short, narrow staircase on the boat going down to the accommodations but we didn't find this to be a problem. There is a fan, not sure about a/c. You won't regret booking with Stevin and Jol.
