Staying on Stevin and Jol's houseboat was the highlight of our vacation. We felt cozy and comfortable, and like true locals - sleeping below deck while floating on a canal by night, and exploring the local recommendations by bike during the day. The location was fantastic - walking distance to Amsterdam Central station and all the hubbub of the center, but just far enough for a good quiet night of sleep. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, including a small kitchenette with an espresso machine. And brining home dinner to eat in the wheel house was a real treat!
