Sure, you could stay in some generic hotel that has some guy in a goofy uniform out front, and that puts mints on your pillow each night, but for goodness sakes, why? Unless that -is- your type of lodging (or unless you travel with a huge amount of luggage) you will enjoy Stijn’s houseboat tremendously. My wife and I stayed for about 5 days and had a absolute blast. The view is terrific, the accommodations are unique (you get to step across 5 other boats en route to his) and Stijn is a terrific host—super friendly and welcoming, happy to share info about anything that interests you. (I wanted to know more about the boat!) Clearly, he wants to be sure that you’re enjoying yourself! I’ve stayed in Airbnb’s all over the US, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Greenland, Iceland, etc, and Stijn’s may have been the very best. Highly recommended!
