“Staying on this houseboat offers a truly distinctive Amsterdam experience. The location strikes a perfect balance, nestled in a quiet residential area yet within a comfortable walk of Rembrandt Square and the Rijksmuseum, plus the added benefit of space, comfortably accommodating groups or families in a way that standard hotels often don't. In my opinion, it's a particularly appealing choice for those seeking a more intimate and independent stay.”
