Emma's houseboat couldn't be better located. It is close to the centre of Amsterdam as well as the central station but if you wanted you could stay in the houseboat and within only a few minutes walk there were fabulous restaurants and bars that catered for every taste. I think the Jordaan area of Amsterdam to be the most interesting and vibrant area and definitely our favourite. Emma was great at communicating with us, we never had to wait more than a few hours before we had a response and was always clear and friendly. The houseboat itself was very comfortable with everything you needed especially the large and comfy bed. Not that we used the cooking facilities ourselves (so many wonderful restaurants nearby!) but if you wanted to cook at home this would have been very easy. The pictures don't do it justice - perfect location and perfect accommodation to experience Amsterdam in a way you never would staying in a hotel. Thank you Emma for being a great host and we would definitely stay again and no hesitation recommending to other visitors :)
