Our group of 6 had one night in Amsterdam, between a two week safari in East Africa and our return to Canada. As luck would have it, Daan's houseboat was available. The description and pictures are accurate- the beds were comfy and the space was perfect for us to spread out and relax. The roof deck was great and it was such fun to be the creatures on display for passing tour boats!

The location was very central with museums and other attractions anywhere from a 5 to 30 minute walk. My youngest (8 years old) had been nervous about the boat option as she has been seasick in the past- but even though we occasionally felt motion when boats passed by, she was fine and would absolutely go back again. Next time we will stay longer!

Daan arranged for a cab for us from the airport and since his boat is a couple of doors down, we were confident that he could be reached in any emergency.At one point there was an issue with the shower drain, but he fixed it immediately.

In short- if you will be staying in Amsterdam, and have the opportunity to stay on Daan's boat- absolutely give yourself this once-in-a lifetime treat!
