I visited Amsterdam 30+ years ago & was determined to come but do it with splash (pun intended). Rinze, a generous Super Host, was communicative during every phase giving me peace of mind.
His place is unique, inviting & thoughtful. Super quiet except a welcomed boat passing by or the ducks & swans clamoring for handouts. I was completely impressed. Great location too for walking around the city with great proximity to restaurants, shops, bars, coffee shots & marts. Rinze also provided coffee & recommendations for restaurants & attraction. I had read that Rinze is a chef & foodie. I asked him upon my arrival (I was 30 minutes late & he was so gracious), if he had a favorite little gem restaurant. He did, recommending Domenica ~ lovely! I had a wonderful lunch ~ great staff & amazing food & drinks tucked away in a charming setting. I highly recommended staying at Rinze’s houseboat. Be well! Enjoy!
