Pros

“Staying on a houseboat is a must-do in Amsterdam, and this accommodation places you in a quiet residential pocket still surprisingly close to the action. I noted its proximity to Rembrandt Square and the Rijksmuseum - both easy walks - alongside the appreciated privacy of individual bathrooms and living spaces, making it ideal for families or small groups. The well-equipped kitchen is another bonus, setting it apart from typical hotel rooms.”
