We had the privilege of staying on Joost’s boat for five days - this place is really special. It is their home and staying there gives you chance to share in the feeling of home. The true Airbnb experience.
You are part of a boat community that as a tourist you wouldn’t normally be able to experience. The neighbourhood is fantastic - away from the centre but buzzing with excellent cafes and restaurants. Joost’s recommendations were great!
We were blessed with hot sunshine at the end of June, so took full advantage of sunning ourselves on the deck, eating meals alfresco and swimming in the pool!
The boat has all the amenities and luxuries you could possibly need. The water pressure in the shower was excellent - it was too hot to use the huge bath but it looked amazing and if you stayed in winter it would be such a treat with the wood burner lit in the evenings.
Thank you so much again, it was the perfect Amsterdam houseboat experience that we dreamed of.
Oh and Charlie the cat is adorable. We all miss her!
