My husband and I stayed for four days on Bob and Eve's houseboat two weeks ago. It definitely was one of our best stays. The boat is located about 15 to 20 minutes away from the city center which was great because it was tranquil in the evenings and we had the chance to relax on the boat while having a beer or coffee looking at the canal. Bob also had a bottle of wine and 4 bottles of beer ready for us in the fridge when we arrived., all free of charge, which was very kind. Not to mention the stroopwafels available which were very delicious. Going to the city center was very easy and we had lots of options. Going by tram number 7 or 14, taking the bus no.22, riding by bike (about 15 min) or even going on foot about 25 min). Bob also offered us to rent two bikes to a very reasonable price which gave us the chance to behave like locals.
The boat itself was very cozy. We felt as if we stayed in a hotel room. The ceiling was high, the bed was very comfortable and there was enough room to walk around for two. The bathroom was not very spacious but still very useful. Everything on the boat was neat and tidy and had a homy atmosphere. Bob and Eve were very hospitable and helpful and tried to answer all our questions patiently. Moreover, they had prepared a file with lots of recommendations of places to go for lunch/dinner and cozy pubs. Bob also let us leave our luggage safely at the boat till our time of departure and helped us call a cab to go to the airport which we appreciated a lot. Overall, we had a wondeful stay and would definitely go again.
