This is a great way to feel like a local. The boat watching from the deck was so enjoyable after a day of site seeing. The boat is a unique experience with everything you need. A step up from glamping. The local cheese shop and grocery store were quite interesting to visit. I think it’s a nice part of the city to stay in. It’s close to Amsterdam Centraal and near to the city center but far enough away for peace and quiet at night. There is also a good restaurant a half a block away.
