Staying on an Amsterdam houseboat can be as magical as it gets. The view can be as good as it gets. Your host can be as kind and caring as a friend. But you rarely get all these in one package, don't you. With Els we got all that and much more. It's hard to explain how happy we are we chose this boat for our vacation. The communication was perfect from the very beginning. The place itself is the best spot in town, period! Safe, serene, living by the water aboard an amazing ship with all the conveniences you can dream of and an awesome host. Walk 10 mins and you're in the very heart of the city, be it on Singel or Central station. By bike - less than 5 mins. I would stay here again and again and again. We did not realize until we got there how valuable the wheel house is. With its comfy sofa, cozy wooden interior and 360 view of the harbor and all the ships maneuvering on IJ it was magical to spend a few hours there in the afternoon, evening, or even sometimes during the day when the weather goes bad.
You can never go wrong staying with Els at Cornelia. Actually (and that coming from someone who's lived in town for a while) it's the best choice.
Thank you so much, Els, take care and I truly hope we seer you again next year!
