We stayed in the houseboat for 3 nights in February half term 2022. Whilst the weather was windy and cold, it was cosy and warm on the boat with a little heater on. The boat is an easy 20 minute walk from the train station and into central Amsterdam. It was a perfect base as it is just outside the hustle and bustle of the city. The boat itself is small but has what you need for a comfortable stay. The shower pressure isn't brilliant but we managed. Communication with the host was very good even though we didn't actually see them.
