We really enjoyed our stay on Peter's houseboat. It was clean and exactly what we expected. A great way to experience Amsterdam. Peter was extremely responsive before and during our stay, and we are hoping to meet him for a drink on our way back through Amsterdam in a few weeks. I would say that the steps down to the living area would be difficult for older or less agile folks. For us it was no problem, and my husband is 71. The 2 wine splits he left for us were enjoyed on the "upper deck" of the houseboat, while watching boats go by on the canal. Charming location, close to cafes, restaurants, and museums,and would definitely stay here again.
