Reading in bed while watching rowers paddle quietly past under a full moon. Sipping wine in front of the huge picture windows as beautiful white swans drift by. Washing off the day in the spacious shower with its extra large rain shower head. These are just a few of the memories we'll take home from Wendelien's wonderful "Room with a View" houseboat. Situated in a great spot on the Amstel River, we loved the comfortable bed, the super-easy coffee maker, and all the other wonderful, personal touches that made this houseboat such a perfect home base for exploring Amsterdam. We could have walked two blocks to the tram but every place is walking distance in Amsterdam so we walked everywhere. Finally, at the risk of burying the lead, there's Wendelien herself. A delightful hostess with an easy laugh, she went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and provided us with many recommendations and suggestions to make our stay even better. We will not hesitate to come back!
