PROS: Easy access, 3 tram stops (#13, 17) and 5 min walk away from Centraal Station.
Good location, in the nice part of town full of cafés and terraces.
Owners - a nice family with a cute little kid - live on the same boat on the other bigger part. We felt safe the entire time and it was nice to know they are right next door if we had any issues with the accommodation. I would add 1 more star just for that and for how nice they are.
Bathroom is spacious enough ( I have seen pictures from other boats with horrendous bathrooms); toilet, shower and sink can be used just as regular ones, no rules or exceptions, warm water at your disposal and water pressure is really good.
We liked the fact that it had a small patio though we had very little time to use it.
CONS: (and owners can maybe use these suggestions to improve the space)
The space is incredibly small. Somehow the pictures make it seem maybe different, but we for ones had a shock. Once you walked down the stairs, the whole space is made up by 2.5 steps to the right and 2.5 steps to the left, and that's all (and the table inside this space too); plus the bathroom and the bed.
The bed is enclosed in like an enclave with just 3 small stair steps as access and open space, the rest of the bed is surrounded by walls.
The mattress is the thin kind that you can buy at Ikea for your kid's bed. One can feel the pieces of wood under it, I would definitely change it to a regular thick one.
The table chairs are almost impossible to sit on as, either because they are inclined at an angle or because of the chair pillows that are build in but are not fixed, you basically slide down of them.
There is a small fridge, the hotel kind of fridge where you hardly can put in anything besides water. No microwave, though there is a small heater. I would definitely recommend the owners to add a small microwave, the cost is nothing. Nobody really goes on vacation to cook, but one can definitely buy some supermarket meals and just heat them up in the microwave.
We had a lot of activities to do in Amsterdam and around, so we left every day at 7 am and did not come back earlier than 8pm. We liked our trip and we wanted the experience to live on a boat. However, frankly speaking, we would not have paid app.200 USD per night (cleaning fees included) to stay on this boat had we realized how little space there was. Value for money does not make sense, but maybe there are other prices during other months (we went mid July) that make more sense.
