if you are even thinking about going to Amsterdam you must stay on this wonderful boat. In the evenings we sat on the deck and people watched, listened to music and enjoyed all the the city had to offer. I am always hesitant to stay on a property in which the owner is also present but this was very comfortable and had forgotten she lived on other side of boat until she popped in to say hello and insure all was great. dont hesitate to book- we will go back and only stay there!
