Reinhart was a wonderful host with a lovely home (houseboat) in the quiet section of Amsterdam Noord. The accomodation looks EXACTLY like the pictures show it and the views are EXACTLY as shown... No photographick trickery here! My wife and I were made to feel welcome from the very first moment we arrived. We were introduced to Reinharts son and shown to our room. As first timers to AirBnB, we were a little bit nervous at the prospect of staying in someones home... whilst they were home but we settled in in no time at all as Reinhart was practically invisible wilst we were there. That said, if you needed anything, he was there in a flash... even letting me use his laptop and printer to check in for our return flight allowing us a relaxing experience at Schipol. As for the area itself, it is located literally 5 minutes from the hustle and bstle of Amsterdam city centre and the Red Light District, bars, coffe shops etc. That said, once you get on that free ferry that runs every few minutes, 24 hours a day (and is always strangely full regardless of the time), you arrive into a different world. We awoke each morning to a lovely heron, some swand, ducks and moorhens. The sceenry was second to none. The accomodations itself were impeccibly clean and the bed was properly comfortable. And the breakfasts... magnificent!

I simply hope not too many people read this lest his calendar fill up for our next trip to Amsterdam.... because I know that Reinharts home will be the very first place I look when searching for a place to stay in this beautiful city.
