Staying on a houseboat is an experience not to be missed. Due to our late arrival, Rinze gave excellent instructions on the location and access to our room. In the morning we were greeted by his infectious smile and welcoming attitude. He was very helpful with recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. Our favorite activity in the evening was fully opening the windows and enjoying the canal activity at eye level. People would talk and wave as they went by. We also had regular visitors like the canal ducks and an incredible white swan who frequented our window multiple times! The boat itself was kind of like living in a "tiny house" with every inch of space perfectly appropriated. It was modern, spacious and surprisingly roomy enough for two adults. The location was perfect and we walked everywhere but also felt like we were out of the "tourist mania" and actually living the Amsterdam life!
I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND staying at Rinze's and Simon's houseboat!!!
