Appartement - Hauseboot in Amsterdam

This is a charming apartment with lots of space for a couple, in an excellent location. It's less than 10 minutes on foot from the Central Station and a perfect base to explore the city. The host is very helpful and the apartment well appointed, with all the facilities that you would need to feel at home. For me the only downside is that there is a busy road nearby where there is a constant stream of traffic, even at night, and in typical Amsterdam style the walls and ceilings are not very think, so you can hear every movement from the people in the apartment upstairs. If you are a light sleeper, this can be a bit disturbing.

The location of this apartment within 5 minutes of the train station and other amenities was great. A variety of buses leave from the Central Station area, so it makes it easy to get around. The place itself was light, bright, lots of space, well decorated and had a very comfortable bed. We enjoyed the private courtyard right outside the kitchen door that was private. Additionally, Arjen our host was very knowledgeable about the area and provided suggestions on places to see, where to buy groceries, cheese, wine or dine out. The fresh flowers (red tulips) and drinks in the refrigerator after we arrived was so welcome after 10 days of touring Europe. The washer and dryer were great, as we were able to wash all of our clothes for the next part of our trip. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy Amsterdam.
