Joke and Gerard are true ambassadors of Amsterdam. Just as Amsterdam is such a cool, friendly, relaxed, creative and tolerant city, so are they. The location of the houseboat was perfect for us. Just far enough away from the city to be able to wind down after a busy day in town, sit out on the deck, hear the birds sing and even go for a swim but close enough to conveniently take the ferry straight to the Central train station and go back and forth at leisure.
The loft was also equipped with just about anything you needed for breakfast or a cold supper - the knives were sharp, there was coffee, all kinds of cheese knives, plenty of dishes and glasses, even place mats.
Yes, as other guests have mentioned, there is no door to the bathroom, which didn't bother us but is good to know in advance. However, there is a reason for this which is good to know as well: In addition to giving the room a lighter feeling, by not having a door you have full view of the bathroom's sink with its modern smart design.
Thanks again Joke and Gerard for welcoming us into your home
