What a fantastic way to experience Amsterdam at canal level at such a quiet yet centrally located home! Upon arrival, Mark greeted us at Trijntje and gave a great introduction to canal living and the neighborhood!
Trijntje was so comfortable - all of us slept like babies and we soon forgot that we were even on a boat except for the amazing sights that passed by our windows throughout the day! We walked the city during the daytime and felt as if we had arrived back home every night!
Trijntje is located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Amsterdam and yet walkable to the rest of the city! We found wonderful restaurants very close by (Georges's Cafe, Black and Blue for example) and even a great neighborhood bar/restaurant across the street - de Fles - where we were able to meet our neighbors and have some wonderful conversations and a meal! There is a grocery store, green market and a couple of breakfast shops within a block of the boat.
Mark was also a fantastic communicator during the entire process. He welcomed us to Amsterdam and also sent a nice note on the day we left - you felt as if there was a problem he would be there in an instant!
We have visited Amsterdam many times but living on Trijntje was one that we will always remember! What a special opportunity!
