Absolutely perfect !!!

We were met at the ship Dana by Greita as arranged, she is an amazingly friendly informative person who couldn’t do enough for us. The ship was just perfect for me and my wife. It’s about a 25 min walk into the center of Amsterdam with several bars along the way. The gentle sway of the boat led to 4 great night sleep. The shower and loo are perfectly adequate and we felt very cosy and safe.

Great time on the Dana

My husband and I stayed for several days and it was a perfect adventure. We wanted something other than another hotel stay and we got it! Very cozy, well appointed, and a great location. Between the ferries (5 min walk) and the train station (20 min walk), we had everything we needed to get around. Host was incredibly helpful in sharing information. Would absolutely stay again.

An Incredible Stay on a Beautiful Boat

This house boat is what dreams are made of. Clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable; I don't think I've ever slept so well. Dana is an absolute gem and incredibly helpful. Would absolutely stay here again!
