Geke was a wonderful host, we arrived late for check in but she was understanding (since we drove from london!). She gave us a detailed description of where to go for local restaurants and shops, which the house boat was very close to. Central Amsterdam was about a 20 minute walk, or a 5 minute uber ride. The house boat was very clean and quirky, we absolutely loved it - our only issue was that the "special" bedroom was just a bit too small and one of us had to sleep on the sofa instead (which was still comfortable). Overall we would definitely stay again if staying in Amsterdam.
