It's a wonderful apartment in a very nice area! We had great time there. There were 3 of us and we stayed on this boathouse for 2 weeks! IJburg is a new district of Amsterdam - a lovely modern neighbourhood with everything you might need. And commuting to the city is just great. 5 min walk to tram 26 and in 12 min you are on the Central station!
The apartment itself is really lovely with a nice living area overlooking the terrace, small sleeping area and a clean bathroom. But the terrace - this is something that makes the difference! Actually we spent more time on a terrace than inside=) Sunbathing, grilling, eating, having morning coffee or a glass of wine. It has the view to the other boathouses (which I found very interesting) and a side view to the lake.
There is no kitchen, but there is a fridge which looks small but happened to be pretty spacious and a very good microwave with the function of oven. We baked potatoes there, grilled chicken and cooked pizza.
Aart was an amazing host! He is really nice and welcoming guy and great fun to be with. Every request I had was immediately fulfilled. He allowed us to use his washing machine, gave me a bike with a cart, so that I can do shopping with the child and provided a small bike for my son=) And we were also allowed to use his boat and on the last evening he took us on a wonderful boat ride around the area! We still keep talking about what a nice time we had then!
I've been to Amsterdam several times before and I can tell that accommodation in the city centre (both hotels and apartments) is veeery small and veeery expensive. So a place like Aart's apartment is a perfect solution. You are staying in a safe neighbourhood with an easy access to the city. And of course staying on a boathouse was very special for me and allowed to have this feeling of being "Dutch" =)
