I truly couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for my first trip to Amsterdam! Lydia and Uhuru went above and beyond in welcoming me aboard their ship and made me feel completely at home. They both were extremely accommodating and more than helpful in giving me places to go and things to do on my trip. The houseboat itself is a great experience, very clean and just a joy to be on. I wish I had been able to stay more than two days but next time I'm in Amsterdam I will definitely be trying to stay on Der Hoop again!
