What an amazing place. This was the first time we've stayed at an Air B&B where the owner usually lives at the property (they were on holiday) and it was a nice experience. The houseboat was easily accessible and in a great location on the river Amstel. The Metro is a few minutes away making getting around Amsterdam super easy. The accommodation was spacious, clean and very tasteful and we had the pleasure of looking after Nelke's two one year old cats which the kids loved. There were two kayaks at our disposal which we used every morning - this will be the thing I miss the most I think. Nelke was very helpful and responsive to our messages. This was the first time I've been to Amsterdam in 20 years and if timing allows, I would book this place again when I return. It's definitely in my top 5 Airbnb stays .
