Aart's houseboat is in a community of houseboats located a short walk to the tram that takes you into central Amsterdam in 12 minutes. Aart helped design this separate apartment, which is located above his own home. His houseboat is a dream - more beautiful than even the pictures can describe! The bed was extremely comfortable, shower was great, and the outside deck provided amazing views of the stars or morning sunshine on the water. Aart provided us clear directions and welcomed us with a bottle of wine, beer, and coffee. Aart was very friendly and provided us with maps with ideas to explore the not as touristy parts of Amsterdam. Our only regret is we did not have enough time at this amazing houseboat. We hope to come back again and stay in Aart's amazing home!
