Marieke’s and Arie’s houseboat is just perfect! The place is very cozy and fully equipped. Also, going for a ride on their kayaks directly from the living room is very nice. We also used their bikes, which was again very convenient, as we did not have to rent the bikes elsewhere. The location is great - the north part f Amsterdam is very hip neighbourhood and we received several tips where to go around, which we followed and were not disappointed. Plus, when going to the city centre on bike, you get to use the ferry (that, I really enjoyed), which goes 24/7 every few minutes. All and all, I can very much recommend this place!
