We had a wonderful stay on the houseboat in Amsterdam. Chooky met us out front when we arrived and gave us a great introduction to the city. Lydia and Chooky have put together a visitor's guide to the city with maps and local recommendations, which was very helpful. The houseboat is really in the center of the city and provided a perfect home-base for all our sightseeing. My husband and I will definitely stay here again if we visit Amsterdam again soon (which we hope to do!).
