I think pretty much everything about staying on this canal boat exceeded our expectations. The boat was well equipped and very comfortable for our family of 4. The location is really ideal, very convenient for walking the downtown area, yet quiet in the evenings and away from most other tourist accommodation. Sitting in the top entrance area or on deck is such a nice way to spend any part of your day, watching the boats pass by in a backdrop of Amsterdam architecture. The kids loved waving to the cruise boats and also enjoyed the raised “cubby house” bed built into the bow. The price is moderate and you could probably find a nice hotel in this range, but it would be hard to find a more fun and authentic Amsterdam experience than this at any price !
