Maarten has been very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, and is generally a really nice guy. We enjoyed the place very much, it was a rare chance to stay on a boathouse and the only regret we have is to have not spent more time on the boat.
The location - It is relatively close to Amsterdam Centraal and took us about 15 minutes with luggage to get there by foot (the ease of your journey will naturally vary with the volume of your luggage). We were fortunate to have gone there in the summer so it was almost never dark, we never felt unsafe throughout our stay there, even coming home after dark. It is as well a 10 minute walk away from the closest eateries and so you won’t go hungry.
The interior - Maarten has put in a lot of effort into this houseboat. It was clean and comfortable. It was way above our expectation, with wifi and even a TV with Netflix! The bathroom was clean, and there was warm water, and there was a lot of attention to detail placed on the choice of hand and bath soaps and even the quality of the toilet paper.
To sum this review up, Maarten’s boathouse really made our stay in Amsterdam a lot more special, and we looked forward to coming home every night after our long walks all around the beautiful city.
