My boyfriend and I stayed for 10 wonderful days at the house boat which was perfect! Frans was kind enough to pick us up from the airport and has all kinds of useful information in different languages waiting for you. The house boat was a bit of a distance from Amsterdam centre, but we did not mind as you can escape the hustle and bustle after a packed day of exploring and have peace and tranquillity at the apartment, chilling with the birds and water. Frans and his wife are such lovely people and were a total pleasure to stay with, they are always on call to help you out and just next door if you need any extra towels or bedding. The apartment is extremely well designed, cozy and makes you feel so at home, we just wanted to become permanent residents!! They were extremely flexible with our check out as our flight was late and last minute took us back to the airport which was a life saver and just shows what wonderful accommodating people the are. I really can not say enough great things about this place and its hosts, you will not regret booking this. We will definitely be coming back in the future and seriously looking forward to it, thanks so much to you both for making our stay and Terry's 30th Birthday the best ever.
