We loved our stay on the the houseboat. The location is ideal - right in the heart of the Jordan/Nine Streets, the restaurant Pancakes! is just across the canal, and lots great shopping and museums are a short distance away. The accommodations on the boat are very comfortable and worked perfectly for our family. Even though it was breezy and nippy outside, it was toasty and warm on the boat, and our kids loved waving to the boats as they passed by. The room on the top was a perfect breakfast spot, while the main living area downstairs was a quite and relaxing place for downtime. The hosts were wonderful and accommodating, making that we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. For those who are wary of staying on a boat- we barely felt any movement, just a gentle sway from time to time. Highly recommended if you're coming as a family - one of the most unique accommodations in Amsterdam!
