The HouseBoat is fantastic, I will cherish the breakfast on the deck by the canal and swans for as long as I can.
We went on a science meeting trip with the students of my lab and we wanted a nice place, quite and near the centre (but not IN the centre) to sleep. Of course when I saw this place I thought that it looked great for a few days in Amsterdam, and it end up being so much better that I expected, which is saying a lot since the pictures are great in the website. IN short, with a really comfortable settings, IN and below the river, espresso machine and frother, great kitchen and the breakfast deck, I think this place is difficult to beat. And Ingmar was helpful and clear, an excellent host to a great place.
