As advertised, Dana’s forward cabin is cozy & comfortable. The boat is 110 years old & in excellent shape, docked near Houthaven.
Dana met us, hours before we could check in, and allowed us to leave our bags in her space (she lives in the rear cabin). She texted us, as soon as our space was ready, and she did a wonderful job of guiding us to public transportation & local shops/restaurants.
The space, itself, is 2 levels - the top is the entry & a lovely sitting area, looking out on the water. The lower level (belowdecks) includes a shower/bathroom (Euro style, with the shower & toilet in the same cubicle), a kitchenette (microwave, hot plate, electric kettle, coffee maker, mini fridge), a small table & chairs, a small closet, and a double bed under the stairs. If you’re taller than 5’, you’ll need to duck as the sleeping space has low clearance.
Dana provides basic amenities, such as towels, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, plenty of tea & coffee, toilet paper, and a hairdryer. We picked up some light snack foods & drinks, to keep in the fridge, and enjoyed eating on the upper level, watching the boats coming & going.
It’s important to note that this is not a handicapped-accessible space. The dock is quite long & narrow, and the boat access involves a set of narrow steps, much like a ladder.
That said, the dock is quiet & the gentle rocking of the boat make for a relaxing stay.
All told, I would highly recommend Dana’s boat for your A’dam stay.
