Joke & Gerard are very warm and welcoming hosts. They were very helpful on a few things we needed and also gave good advice on the city and travel. The ferry service from Centraal makes the commute very easy. The ferry takes about 10 minutes from Centraal and the walk from there is another 10 - 15 minutes. The house is on a canal, which gives a very nice feel. The room doesn't face the canal, but a window looks over it and you can also sit on the deck outside if you want to enjoy it better. The flat has a very modern & stylish design. The bath & toilet area doesn't have a door, so privacy can be an issue. The fridge and pantry were well stocked and the dinner area outside the loft was a good place to relax.
