First of all if you are just considering coming to Amsterdam, Do it! The best city and vacation I have ever experienced!
Dave was an amazing host who made sure we were safe and knew everything we needed to know about our stay. We left a few items and was kind enough to ship them to us.
BOAT: To start with the boat. It’s beautiful it has an old rustic look to it and it sits right on the famous canals in Amsterdam. The room was very nice and perfect if you aren’t a person who needs a lot. The only downside is the stairs are very steep to get down and might be hard for the elderly. The internet is really good if you go the captains area but it’s not great in the cabin.
LOCATION: truly and absolute perfect location if you really want to know what life is life in Amsterdam. Just outside the boat there is a street filled with shops with very friendly and helpful people. You are only 4 mins walking to the subway that takes you to city center. They also have a bike shop near by that you can rent from and ride your bike to city center which I recommend if you want the full experience.
Things to keep in mind. Subway stops at 12am.
City center is where all of the action take place.
They stop serving pot at 1am.
It cost about 15 Euros to take a taxi. home from city center.
Overall an amazing stay, make sure you check it out
