Joke And Gerard are wonderful hosts, with a beautiful spacious house boat and the warmth and generosity to make you feel completely welcome and at home. The houseboat is in the north part of Amsterdam and easy to get to by free ferry from the central train station. I loved the time I spent there and would be happy to return and spend more time. I went on a Canal cruise with them and shared several meals that were delicious, for a small fee. It was a great experience. I feel as if I’ve met two friends.
