we loved our stay on the houseboat and would recommend it to everyone, especially some which want to come in summer to amsterdam - because even it's in the city it's a calm place where you can go swimming and just relax on the deck. we slept very good, even though it was very hot we always had a nice breeze and the bed and everything else was very comfy. our advice: we abosuletely recommend to rent some bikes. thanks, hartelijk dank and dankä vielmal to our hosts liselore and eltjo :)
