My girlfriend and I could not have asked for a better trip to Amsterdam. Joke and Gerard are two of the most wonderful people we have ever met and because of them our trip could not have been better. We even managed to take the wrong ferry across the river when we arrived, but Gerard still came to pick us up despite the much further drive. When we got to the house we could not believe how beautiful it was. The bedroom is just perfect and the view of the canal is beyond what we could have hoped for. Gerard and Joke had countless tips and suggestions to give us to make sure we made the most out of our short weekend trip to the city.

Before arriving, we wouldn't have guessed that we would spend so much time at the house, but we enjoyed Gerard and Joke's company so much that we spent hours both days sharing drinks, food, stories and laughs. Gerard cooked us wonderful breakfast both mornings that we were there, and on our last day he brought us around the canals in Amsterdam center with his own boat. Everything about our trip was so delightful and we are so happy to have met Gerard and Joke and to call them our friends. Having to leave so soon was tough, but we will surely see them again during their travels to the states!
