The room in Carien’s houseboat was the perfect place to stay for our short visit in Amsterdam. The room is cozy and charming, with tasteful decor and good kitchen basics. If you are blessed with good spring weather like we were, the deck is the perfect place to sit outside, look at the tulips and the boats passing by in the canal, and sip a little wine. The neighborhood is wonderful, with beautiful architecture and plenty of cute shops and cafes within very short walking distance. Public transit is accessible as well. I highly recommend staying here!
