Aart was very friendly only we didnt see him much
The area the houseboat was situated was some 20 minutes by tram from Central Station and easy walk to the houseboat Unfortunatly there were no resturants or shops apart from a small supermarket that only opened 8-6pm nearby
The houseboat only had a microwave oven which was not clean and what we thought was a coffe machine Neither had intructions as to how to use them we had never used either styles before
What we would suggest is a Nespresso machine or similar and maybe a toaster with milk,bread,butter and maybe jam or similar so as we could make a basic breakfast We would have been prepared to pay a little more for the convience and not have had to go into the city to have breakfast
We also didnt bring any soap with us and there was none supplied for showering
Also a TV or radio would have been great as there is nothing to do at night in the area and no connection to the outside world in the houseboat
Only after searching around did we find the Internet code roughly written on an brocher I think a more formal folder with a few bits of local information and transport options would have been valuable
