The idea of sleeping in a houseboat with the kids and nevertheless being so close to the pulsing city of Amsterdam, was very appealing to us. It was a wonderful experience and the surrounding water was very soothing after a busy day in the crowded city.
Aart is a very friendly and courteous host and we definitely try to book this place again when we revisit Amsterdam. It is very easy to get in and out of the city from this place and we did all our ways by public transport.
