This was indeed a lovely houseboat! Spacious, homely clean and very comfortable. We didn't get to meet Rob properly due to our late arrival but he did pop in to make sure all was ok. The location of the boat was perfect, close to tram routes but really close enough to walk into the centre of Amsterdam. This was the first time our daughters have visited the city and they absolutely loved it. After a long day sightseeing it was perfect to return to the cosy quiet of the boat, and it was fun to be woken to the sound of the water birds directly outside the window. I would thoroughly recommend rob & renate's truly lovely boat as a great place to stay.
