Doet is a lovely woman who is very responsive. There were a few issues we experienced but all livable condition. The house boat is a 15 minute walk to the nine streets, which made it not so convenient to shop and drop things off real quick. The room itself is newly renovated but all you get. There is no access allowed to the rest of the houseboat, kitchen included. However, there is a small fridge in the room. There is a one foot rod that can be used to hang things but no real closet so expect to live out of your suitcase. Lastly, the bed is, by American standards, a queen. Not a king as listed. It's soft to sit on but comfortable to lay on. Basically, a great place to stay if you are on a budget. It's modern and very clean. Just not what I was looking forward to in terms of a houseboat experience on a cute canal in Amsterdam.
