There are many great things about the boat. It is a really fun experience to stay in a houseboat on the Amstel in Amsterdam! The location is right in the middle of everything, and the roof deck is lovely. Check-in and out were very convenient with the key in a lock-box. However, the interior needs a good, deep clean and some repairs to leaks and water damage. The furniture is very stained. There is a strong musty smell throughout the boat, which seeped into our clothing and luggage. The portal window in the bathroom is about 6 inches from the entrance door of an adjacent houseboat which can be very awkward. Because of the smell and the overall cleanliness issues, I would not rent this houseboat again. I am really not trying to be super negative in this review, but I do want to be a little more clear about some of the downsides of this experience because I was not expecting it based on past reviews! This leads me to think that, for some, it's all part of the charm of a houseboat experience or they are willing to deal with it for such a great location. It's just not for me and my husband. Your experience may be different.
