The cabin on the barge is beautiful! My wife had always wanted to stay on a dutch barge and we were able to stop off on our way to eastern Europe. Very clean and cozy. Though not right in the middle of things, it is still perfectly east to get to via tram, bus or bike. Plenty of grocery stores and restaurants near by. Marloes and her family are very nice and go out of their way to provide a great guide of resources in the cabin.
