We had a marvelous stay, once we arrived. We lost Reinhart's clear directions, which are absolutely necessary to arrive without considerable hassle. Central Amsterdam is a space filled with people and interesting things to see. North Amsterdam is a quiet residential area. A short free ferry ride and a five minute walk to the old lock holding Reinhart and Viveka's houseboat provides an easy link between the two.

The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. The semi private common area has good wifi and a table and chair to use it. The breakfast was simple but very ample. The hosts are very gracious and helpful. The water views of birds and boats are very interesting. The shared bath system (the hosts share only the guest shower) works fine. The decor reflects the host's good sense of design. We love the place and highly recommend it.
