emma and her boat are wonderful, having stayed in amsterdam many times i can certainly say that her boat is up there with the very best. the location is perfect, close enough to get to any where in the main part of the city quickly but on a quite spot on the main canal which make you feel that you are living like a local. i stayed with a group of friends but i could imagine that it would be perfect for a family or an older couple too. the place was perfectly clean and very comfortable, what more do you need.
