The best decision I have ever made! The houseboat was in a beautiful location, 10-15 minute walk to most tourist attractions/train station. Tons of restaurants and bars close by. Quiet at night time! We loved opening the window in the morning right on the canal and watch the boats drive by. Check in was a breeze and Rinze was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend staying on the houseboat for your Amsterdam vacation, a hotel would not capture the canal experience the way the houseboat does!
