From the check-in on, our stay on the houseboat was fantastic. Communication and check-in with the hosts was great, the boat is just as pictured, if not better, and the location in central Amsterdam made it close to everything by bike or walking. Staying on the houseboat, and especially sitting on the front deck and watching the canal traffic go by while eating breakfast or enjoying an afternoon drink, were a highlight of a great week in Amsterdam. We will definitely try to stay here again.
