Why have you not clicked "Book" already? Nina's boat is beyond wonderful. Not only is it a houseboat in Amsterdam (which really is enough all by itself), but it is spacious, comfortable, and bright. The location is also perfect; super close to everything in the center, but a couple blocks past the tourist stuff and into a local neighborhood. Sit in the glass-walled wheel house, have a glass of wine or coffee, watch the city, and wave at envious tourists on canal cruises. Staying on the boat was a huge contributor to our incredible visit, I can't imagine staying anywhere else when our travels bring us back to Amsterdam.
