Edward is an awesome host. The communication was excellent from the start. We stayed on the boat for 2 nights to end our 3 week trip in Europe and wanted to stay longer and didn't want to leave the boat while we were there. It was so fun just to watch boats go by and we even got to hang out with Edward and Anita a little too. They're so sweet- great people. The location for the house boat is magical and central to eveeything. It was a 15 minute walk to the Heineken factory, 2 minutes to the Rembrandt square, 2 minutes to the local grocery store. We're going to tell everyone we know who's going to Amsterdam that this is THE place you have to stay. It was a clean, beautiful space, with everything else I just described- so essentially perfect. Best place I've ever stayed-- anywhere on the world. I know that sounds dramatic, but no, it's true! Thank you Edward and Anita!
