The houseboat was perfect. The Wheelhouse apartment is larger than we expected and it had all the amenities that we wanted. There is a great amount of natural light in the apartment. The view from the houseboat of the boat traffic (barges, canal cruise boats, and other houseboats), birds, and city lights was very enjoyable. It is located far from the crowded center of Amsterdam but with very short commutes by tram, bus, or bike. Carmen and Ed were very good hosts.
