I took my parents to stay in Amsterdam - the houseboat is exactly as pictured, and was the perfect place for us. They loved the experience of being directly on the canal, it was a perfect location for everything we wanted to see and do in Amsterdam. I loved that the location is in the Jordaan neighborhood - a perfect spot to see daily life in Amsterdam. Also close to Central Station - had no problem walking on arrival. Our host was delightful, knowledgeable about the area, and made us feel very welcome. I also appreciate the flexibility with arrival time, as my travel arrangements accelerated the timetable. Could not have had a better stay.
