I would highly recommend Joke and Gerard’s beautiful houseboat to anyone looking for a relaxing, carefree stay in Amsterdam. Joke and Gerard were wonderful hosts. They had breakfast ready for us each morning, gave us great recommendations, and even dropped us off at the ferry with our luggage when we departed. Their home was beautiful and inviting, situated right on the water. The location is in a lively, up and coming area of Amsterdam with great restaurants. There is also a free ferry to the city center, which was very convenient. We hope to be able to visit Joke and Gerard’s home again in the future!
