The houseboat was amazing! The best feature was the floating dock with seating and tables where we relaxed in the evening hours watching on the water's edge as the boats passed by on the Amstel River. The location was excellent--close to the center but just outside of the congestion of the central canals. Geke was a generous host, greeting us from our early arriving flight to store our luggage until our afternoon check in. She was always available, quick with insight into the wonderful neighborhood and helpful with all our questions.
