Elwin's houseboat was a great base for exploring Amsterdam. The location is excellent, less than 15 minutes by foot anywhere you want to go in the historic center. The decor is minimalist modern/mid century. The houseboat and the attached patio (rowboat) is very comfortable with the exception of constant tour boat traffic in the busy canal section the houseboat is docked in.
The wifi is blazing and the radiant heat under the floor is very nice on chilly nights. The kitchen is fully stocked and the couch in the living room is comfy. The bathroom is compact but functional but the water pressure is not the best and the shower is slow to drain. The bed in the bedroom is too small for a couple to sleep comfortably.
All in all, this was a good choice for a long weekend stay in Amsterdam. The setting is romantic and the boat is a comfortable, centrally located option for your stay.
