Hadewych is a lovely person and wonderful hostess. Her property manager, Ronald, is great. The Musard (name of houseboat) is spaceous, spotlessly clean and very charmingly appointed. The kitchen appliances are excellent. With all this the best is the location in the Negenstraatjes and especially the view of the Westertoren from the houseboat aft deck. Since I moved back to the US 10 years ago I have rented holiday places in Amsterdam every August and also a number of times in May. The Musard is my favorite and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the best of Amsterdam.
cheers.
