The houseboat was amazing! Much bigger than we expected, very clean and comfortable. About a 20-25 minute walk to the center, with lots to see in between, and a couple grocery stores a quick walk away. Our host was great, went over everything in good detail with us, from how to make use of the accommodations to where to find things in the city and what to see.
We felt like this was a great representation of true Amsterdam living, would definitely recommend and would stay again.
