Caroline was a fantastic host! She greeted us warmly and gave us a good run down on how everything worked on the house boat. She even gave us a nice bottle of wine as a welcome. We hope to return some day!!! This listing is an amazing way to see and experience Amsterdam. It's literally a 5 minute walk from Central Station!!! In the middle of everything, yet it was quiet at night. There's everything you need within a short walking distance. Highly recommend renting bikes and getting out of the city into the countryside. She told us where to go, and we went...it was beautiful!! Loved just sitting out on the terrace with some wine & cheese watching all the boat traffic go by. Watching tourists taking our pictures and waving was fun!
