Wende is a obliging and super friendly host and has a cosy houseboat, were you feel home in a few seconds. The stay right on the river makes a beach-like feeling. We mostly walked around the city, the way into the downtown area wasn't too long but we preferred the close area around De Pijp were we mostly were. We would recommend it to everyone who wants to discover not only the sights but nice restaurants, streets and riversides.
