Being greeted by Ayla and Max (the welcoming canine) upon our return to Amsterdam was one of the most wonderful experiences of our trip. Jake and Ayla's houseboat is a delightful place to spend a few nights in Amsterdam. The bed was super comfy, and the upstairs area was perfect to sit and enjoy coffee and write. The shower was also wonderful, complete with a porthole for ambiance and ventilation. :) Jake and Ayla were so hospitable and gracious to us during our stay- thank you!!
