Aart was a wonderful host and very helpful. He was very considerate in helping us find the apartment and easy to contact at all times. The boathouse itself was beautiful, I would imagine that its even more enjoyable in the warmer months. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone else who is interested in staying. The only downfall was the fact that it was 15 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam although easily accessed through tram and a taxi back cost around 20 euro but it was also nice to be staying out of the city in a more suburban area. There was also 4 bikes provided which we used to cycle in and out of the centre which I think really added to our experience in Amsterdam.
