Our stay was wonderful. It is unique to be able to stay on a houseboat when visiting Amsterdam! The location was nice...a ten minute walk to the central train station and out of the heavily touristy area but in a lovely lively part of Amsterdam where you saw people other than just tourists. A small supermarket was nearby and there were bars and restaurants. On Saturday there was a market on the street next to the boat which was fun, and If I ever come back to Amsterdam I would want to stay here again.
