Nova Houseboat is really a nice and quaint little place to stay at a little out of the city area. However, it is pretty convenient with numerous trams and buses that heads directly into Amsterdam centrale. It is also really convenient to get to the airport within 30 mins with a direct bus servic.e The place is well equipped, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. There are bicycles provided and it is such a nice little touch of thoughtfulness. It takes about 10 - 15 mins to walk from the tram/bus stop to the houseboat. The place is overall highly recommended!! Thank you for the great experience Nova houseboat!
