Everything was as expected from the photos and other reviews. This place has character, and is very fun. The kitchen is great for hanging out, everything works and is easy. The sleeping areas are amazing, best sleep to be had in Amsterdam. The water isolates the sounds and vibrations of the city and its roads, the steal hull adds even more isolation, and the beds themselves are haven. We had some special requests, and the host was very nice and helped make special accommodations for us..
