Fisrt off, Hi Eltjo and Liselore. We had a great stay on your houseboat. Lovely accommadations as everyone else had mentioned: great bed, deck space, and neighborhood. Other reviewers have mentioned the openness of the houesboat (bathroom/ shower), to this I will say: It is a houseboat which means it is open. It is not a bad thing at all and you are not that visable to others. Just know what you are comfortable with. Both Liselore and Eltjo were able to give good suggestions on things to do, where to hang, and where to shop. What my friend and I liked best was being away from all the hustle and bustle of other areas in Amsterdam. This neighborhood is safe, quiet, and a nice walk 10 - 15 walk to more lively areas. Don't miss this space.
