We loved our stay on the houseboat, for so many reasons!
The boat itself is great. Comfortable beds, good kitchen, lovely views. On the one hand, it is a boat and still feels and looks like a boat (not like a box that just happens to be on the water). On the other hand, it has been remodeled to be comfortable and have great views (not just tiny portholes).
Speaking of great views, the location is excellent. You’re in the Jordaan neighborhood, everywhere you look looks like a postcard, but you’re not in Disneyland… the local cafes and bars are lively and aren’t fully of tourists. The 5 tram is a five or six minute walk away and will get you to the museums and other parts of the city. There’s a bus stop three minutes away that will get you to Centraal and everywhere else. Grocery stores, pharmacy… all short walks away.
Communication with our host was easy and quick (much appreciated since it took me a couple tries to get our reservation dates entered correctly!)
We had a great stay!
