We had a wonderful stay in this unique and beautiful setting. My husband especially liked it, being a boat lover and having worked on barges in the past. Convenient location within walking distance to many restaurants. To get to the houseboat from Centraal Station you can take the Metro M51, 53 or 54 and get off at the second stop. We had some trouble finding the entrance for the right metro line, as the signs were hard to follow (and at one point non-existent, outside where you take the escalator down, but we asked someone for help and it all worked out). Highly recommend staying here!
