A gem! The perfect way to experience the real Amsterdam! The owners of this houseboat have thought of everything! The living areas on most boats are downstairs, but this one has a beautiful dining area and kitchen above the water - you can spend hours watching the boats go by! The bed is comfortable, bathroom is large and kitchen is well stocked. Arie met us very early and had the refridge stocked with goodies and wine/beer. He explained where all for the local grocery stores and restaurants are and had a handy guest instruction list. The area is absolutely beautiful and very quiet at night, but close enough to walk to all of the major Amsterdam attractions. We loved it!
