it's better than the pictures make it out to be, which is crazy because the pictures make it seem amazing! this was an amazing weekend, in an unforgettable location. if you want to stumble around the city center at all hours of the night, this might not be your first choice. however, if you're looking for a beautiful unforgettable experience, you've found it. the boat is every bit as cool as you'd think. as a lifelong professional sailor, it wasn't my first choice to spend my vacation sleeping on another ship... (lol) but this place was immaculately clean, tons of natural light, and amazing amenities. far enough outside the city center to be quiet and relaxing, bust just a few minutes walk from all the civilization that you may require. I can't imagine anywhere else I'd want to stay during my next trip to Amsterdam. if you're unsure a houseboat b&b is for you, just book it. I promise you won't regret it.
