This was the perfect place for our 4 days in Amsterdam following a long African safari. We loved being right on the water, large windows to view the canal and a lovely deck off the living room where we enjoyed wine when the weather allowed. Even when it was raining, it was nice and cozy in the houseboat. A full size kitchen allowed us the option of cooking in. The location was very convenient - a short walk from central station and to Nieumarket area for shopping and restuarants, yet in a quiet neighborhood.
