LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Absolutely perfect place to stay in the heart of Amsterdam. Hermann's houseboat is even lovlier in person than the photos. We easily could have stayed onboard for our whole trip! We just loved hanging on the back covered deck, feeding the swans & ducks grapes, while watching the boats, bikes & people of Amsterdam go by. We were greeted at the boat by Hermann's sister, Margriet, who made us feel instantly welcome. Staying on the houseboat made our stay in Amsterdam so much more memorable than if we had stayed elsewhere. We are looking forward to another stay someday!
