The boat was a fun place to stay and the beds / shower / toilet more comfortable than expected. We also really enjoyed the large living area which is perfect for big groups to all sit around. The location is across the river away from the main centre of Amsterdam (in an industrial/dockland area) but there is a free ferry a 5 minute walk away which takes you to the central station in about 15 minutes. The host who lives on the boat was friendly and relaxed about us playing music fairly late.
