Eltjo was very kind to us during our stay in Amsterdam. He's a fun dude with a really sweet houseboat! The room had everything we needed and it was really cool to stay on the canals and feel like a local during our trip! His place is on the northern end of the city but there's lots of good food within a short walking distance. If you want to see sights on the southern part of the city I would suggest renting bikes, which you can find at the IJ parking structure that's nearby his place. Eltjo was very accommodating during our stay and he is friendly, but definitely gave us our own space during our stay. We highly recommend this houseboat during your stay in Amsterdam!
