A beautiful houseboat in a delightful neighbourhood. We we so lucky to get such excellent weather which meant we spent most of our time diving off the deck into the beautiful waters. Renata was kind enough to let us use all her floats, lilos and paddle boards. My children thought they were in heaven! The area felt like a very cool part of Amsterdam and we were welcomed by the local community and enjoyed watching them pop into each others houses by swimming up to them. It was the perfect Airbnb experience. You could never get anything like it from a normal rental or a hotel. As for supplies we picked up shopping from the local Jumbo store (I got an uber back), ate a stylish lunch at Hanger on the water and went out to Cafe Sluisje in Nieuwendammerdijk twice (it was utterly charming and felt very local). My only regret was not hiring bikes and heading off towards Durgerdam because we missed our chance with the bikes at the campsite (too busy swimming off the deck). We travelled into Amsterdam first by Metro (very fast and easy but a little bit of a walk from the house) and then by ferry and tram which we loved. Renata left us snacks, fruit and wine for when we arrived which was very generous and hugely appreciated. The boat is much more interesting than the pictures would have you believe -- with lots of diversions, we could have just stayed there, and we slept very well.
