My friend and I enjoyed staying at the houseboat while in Amsterdam. Before our visit, Louk gave us exact directions to the apartment using the public transit system. When I asked about a canal cruise, she recommended the Light Cruise, which was wonderful.
Louk met us at checkin and helped us get our luggage onto the boat. She was friendly, yet professional, and always willing to help us whenever we needed it. Not realizing there wasn't a stove in the apartment, we bought a few groceries and asked about cooking. Louk offered to let us come to her place and cook if we wanted to. We declined, but how nice of her to make that offer.
The houseboat was as charming as the photos indicated. We didn't spend much time on the deck because of the weather, but it was beautiful.
When we were ready to leave, Louk called a taxi for us and came to our place to help get the luggage back up the stairs.
Thanks, Louk, for such a great place to stay - a unique, fun experience!
