Exactly what it says on the tin! Self contained boat living in a surprisingly quiet place on the canals yet only a five minute walk to the centre of Amsterdam. Friedrich was a very friendly host that took the time to direct me to areas of the city that I’d likely miss without that friendly local knowledge. The boat is as expected small and quirky, but more than enough space for me and my adult (6’4”) son. I never see the reason to return to a place (hotel) that I’ve been on holiday, but I can see returning to this boat when I next visit Amsterdam. If you’re looking for five star luxury and being pampered, this ain’t it. However, it’s much, much more, real Amsterdam living in a peaceful area with a fantastic host.
