Hank is a fantastic host! He is warm, kind, and helpful with lots of suggestions for fun things to do.
His houseboat is a close walk to the City Centre with the many tourist attractions, but far enough that it is much less crowded and also nice and quiet. It is just a few minutes to Noordermarkt, and the best late night apple pie!
His houseboat is also directly across from the Ij, and just a short walk to Amsterdam Centraal Station, so it was very easy to head to Belgium after our stay.
This is my third stay in Amsterdam, and adored this location!
