This was our first trip to Amsterdam and won't be our last.
We had a very nice time at Jan's house boat. At first, Mr Evert is very friendly and helpful. Additionally he served us a simple but delicious breakfast in the wheelhouse which was also free for our own use. The room was very nice an perfectly tidy (the best bed where we slept in apart from home ever). We had everything from hairdryer, coffee machine to refrigerator.
Also you simply reach the city with Tram. The tram station is a 5 to 10min foot walk away from the boat an bring's you in 20min directly to the central station from where you con go wherever you want.
For everyone who wants a nice stay with a little distance to the turbulent city of Amsterdam and the experience of sleeping in a real boat we absolutely recommend a stay at Jan's house boat.
