My mum my sister and I have just returned from a three night trip to Amsterdam and had such a terrific time on the boat. The attention to detail was fantastic and the boat had everything we could possibly need. The terrace was just lovely. The host was very friendly - he sat with us for 30mins upon our arrival showing us how everything worked and gave us lots of great tips about the city as well as leaving the kitchen nicely stocked for breakfast and snacks. This boat is not cheap but I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I would not hesitate to recommend this boat to anyone. It is a good 20-25 min walk from Dam Square.

Hi Francine, why didn't you criticize the landlord during your stay? Or not book at all - if euro 53 pp. pn. was too expensive for you? Why these unfair words afterwards? Your landlord, Hans.

Great location, just a short walk to the city and parks. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast and coffee machine. The house is just a great relaxing place to hang out looking over the water. It made the weekend. I strongly recommend to anyone heading to Amsterdam. Thanks for the great weekend.
