The boat is an incredible location in the city, steps from the opera house, conveniently located on the Amstel river. you are minutes from everything you might want. A 20 min walk from Centrral.
The host is two boats away so he is there to solve any problems with the series of boats he is responsible for, ensuring all the different residents behave themselves making sure you have a respectful stay.
Please remember, canal accommodations offer an unprecedented spectacular POV of the city, but also bring the nighttime element. With a rooftop deck you are able to sit on top of the water and watch the world go by. Be reminded that world consists of a combination of responsible day time tourists and night time debauchery (use your imagination).
Fortunately, Europeans are respectful and we witnessed no one going aboard anyone else’s boat after-hours.
The only issue we had were ants in the kitchen, but bugs should be expected when you’re right on the water backed up to other boats.
The host was willing to keep our bags after check out, which was incredibly nice considering there are companies that specialize in this business and he could have easily denied us and created an additional expense.
The WiFi was great inside the boat but intermittent on the rooftop deck.
Over all a great experience and one we would do again!
