We really enjoyed staying on the houseboat. It is very cosy and comfortable with facilities to make breakfast and snacks. It is in a quiet area near the Olympic Stadium and other sports facilities. It is not that near shops or cafes, but it is close to a tram stop where two trams go straight into the centre, so this made it very easy to get about. We managed to see a lot of Amsterdam and it was nice to come back to the quiet surroundings of the houseboat after the crowds in the centre.
