Arie's houseboat is nothing short of magical. We had the absolute time of our lives. It's gorgeous, spacious, well decorated and designed, with a great bathroom with separate shower/bath and also separate WC. Our favorite parts were the large kitchen windows that open to the canal, as well as sitting on the top deck of the boat watching all the activity. It was so fun to look out and make believe that we lived there while all the tourist boats went by. The street and canal where the boat is located was super calm and quiet, but very centrally located and easy to get anywhere.
Arie was an amazing host. He left us with beer, wine, water, guidebooks, coffee tea, and a stunning home that he clearly poured his heart and soul into. He welcomed us with a cold beer and great recommendations as to where to go, what to do and his favorite restaurants and cafes. I hope that when we return we can stay again!
LOVED IT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
