My wife and I recently stopped in Amsterdam for a few days during our honeymoon. We didn't want to stay in the typical Amsterdam hotel and opted for something special - a traditional Dutch houseboat. Needless to say staying on a boat was a special experience, but the boat was very clean, was on a quiet canal in a superb location in central Amsterdam, and had everything we needed for a memorable weekend. The owner was good to make some worthwhile recommendations for us and was very flexible with the boat itself (he offered us his other boat in case we preferred that one), etc. I will definitely try to book this houseboat again when I return to Amsterdam next.
