The ship is on cozy local neighborhood canal. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. It is close to both the Tram and Metro. You can easily walk anywhere you want to go as well. The weather was lovely, we loved sitting on the deck having wine and cheese while watching the the boats, wildlife and people go by. Peter is right next store if anything is needed. He provided wine and snacks, which was very considerate. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend the house boat.... a true Amsterdam experience!
