Staying a the houseboot was a great experience. We got in early which was no problem. The place is very tidy and clean. It is perfectly located near the Grachten District, so you are close to everything you like to visit, but it is quit and relaxing at night. You also have everything you need, supermarket & 2 nice restaurants, nearby. Overall it was a great stay & I definitely would book it again for my next Amsterdam trip
