Limited space typical of houseboat accommodations

“Staying on this houseboat captures the Amsterdam spirit; it's a memorable alternative to traditional hotels. I appreciate that the location is near a tram station, which makes getting around easy, and the grocery store nearby adds convenience. I think the host's clear rules seem to ensure a peaceful stay for everyone.”
