We loved our stay on the house boat! Such a thrill! I was concerned the boat might rock - but was so thrilled we couldn't even feel we were on water. It was a very doable but slightly steep flight of stairs to get to our room - such luxury and comfort! Loved looking at the stars through the skylight as we lay in bed. Would recommend people try the bikes. Such a faster way to get around the city! Stay here- it will be the most unique experience in Amsterdam!
