Really loved staying on Marie's boat! It was warm and cozy even with the freezing temperatures outside. Easily walkable to all kinds of shops, bars, restaurants. I didn't have the chance to meet Marie as she was out of town but she was responsive and gave thorough instructions on getting to the boat. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
Added bonus: it overlooks one of the installations for the Amsterdam Light Festival and you can watch the boats pass through.
