We received a friendly welcome from Frank and the accommodation was just as described - a lovely cosy studio with all the amenities we could need, the weather was particularly cold but the heating in the room was great, the shower was hot and the kitchenette was well equipped. The boat is about a 15-20 minute walk from Centraal Station, which is about 8EUR in a taxi, the restaurants nearby were good and there were shops and bars a few minutes walk away. It was a peaceful area at night, far enough from the city to be very quiet.
