We were in Amsterdam for two days before heading on to West Africa. Arriving on a Saturday morning, Jol gave us the warmest welcome you can imagine.

The boat hosts two separate apartments, so privacy is ensured. The captain’s cabin astern is for rent and perfectly merges a stylish apartment with a true houseboat experience. You enter the flat via the command bridge, then a narrow ladder takes you to the actual apartment. While the place is small, it comes with a modern and fully equipped steel kitchen, a small coffee table and two cocktail chairs and a bedchamber that can be separated from the rest of the room by curtain.

The interior is contemporary and very bright and clean, however with the steering wheel and boat windows in place you won't forget you are on the water.
The heating is controlled via LCD display and warms up the inside quickly. The Wi-Fi worked like a charm.

As said, we were welcomed with a warm heart. Jol was sitting outside in the sun waiting for us to arrive. Inside was a black board with a personal welcome message and a set of keys for two Dutch bikes we were free to use. After a small introduction to the flat, Jol left the jetty to us to enjoy a cold beer.

All in all we would advise everybody to stay here. We definitely would.
