This is a must for anyone looking for the quintessential Amsterdam experience. The houseboat is exactly as described and in my opinion the views from the windows were even better than seen in the photos. The neighborhood was wonderful and much more centrally located than I had originally anticipated. A 15 minute walk or 5-10 minute tram ride and you were right in the center of the city. It was truly an experience that my friends and I will never forget and am grateful to our hosts for being so accommodating.
