We had a wonderful experience staying on Arie and Gerda's houseboat. First, they were incredibly accommodating and helpful with respect to arrival, departure, and additional details. Arie met us at the boat, offered recommendations for the neighborhood, and made us feel at home from the get-go. Finally, the houseboat itself was exactly as described and pictured, except that it (and the view of the canal from the boat) was even more beautiful than anticipated. Would visit again in a second.
