If you are looking for a home that at is conveniently located to everything you might want to see in Amsterdam then this is the place for you! We only had a 10-15 minute walk to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, and Anne Frank House. Also just around the corner from Rembrandt Haus, diamond museum, and lots of great shops, and restaurants. There is a large grocery store five minutes away that we used to buy breakfast and snack items. The views from the canal boat are lovely and despite being close to everything it was quiet and peaceful at night. The house boat is rated for four people and this is definitely right, we added a fifth thanks to the flexibility of our host but it was a little tight. There is also basically a ladder into the house so you do need to be fairly fit to get in. Having said this by two 80 year old parents did successfully navigate the steps despite some concerns that they might not be able to do so.
