This was absolutely MARVELLOUS! The location is perfect for incoming travellers-- 10 min walking from Central Station. Stijn welcomed us right on time, after some houseboat hopping over the other harboured boats at the pier we reach this beauty of house boat tastefully refurbished to fit the tourists needs without changing the boat character. Stijn's photo gallery represents exactly as it is-- but it can not transport this spirit of "cool down and lay back" which surrounds you once you are stepping from busy, noisy, nervous Amsterdam into this little heaven retreat.... immediately all the city tension falls off, you are sitting on the well-cushioned captain's bench, overlook the harbour, enjoy the dusk with one of Stijn's complimentary beers and chips... Do not forget to bring a small speaker set--- the WiFi works excellent, and you stream your favourite tunes right into this little paradise... The usual stuff-- shower, bathroom, heating-- everything perfect. Of course, you are staying in 100 yr old houseboat -- no Hilton to be expected. Overall - 8 star rating, and Stijn is great!!
