Good luck booking this amazing property! All of our friends have asked for the location and our itinerary. Absolutely a perfect spot. On the canal, walk to EVERY place in the city, next to a Metro stop, safe, clean, fun, you are on a boat...in Amsterdam...in a canal...with a host who lives next door and is super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back and stay longer. We slept well, didn't notice any rocking on the water, this is a long and heavy boat with canal views. We drank wine on the upper deck and watched all the tourist and locals pass by. Very well lit area and we felt safe walking back well after midnight. You can stay in any hotel in any city, but how many times in life can you stay on a house boat in Amsterdam! Do it, don't over think it.
