“Staying on this houseboat offers a unique perspective on Amsterdam; I appreciate its location, an easy walk from Central Station and the old city, yet with bike rentals nearby for further exploration. The living space is surprisingly generous, especially for families, and the gentle sway of the water adds an unusual charm to the experience. For self-sufficient travelers seeking something beyond the typical hotel, this could be a great option.”
