This was my first Airbnb experience ever. And wow, Joke and Gerard's hospitality is unmatched. They are so kind and accommodating. They are very responsive when contacting them which is quite handy if you don't know the area or country that well at all. They live very close to the city. It's just a ferry ride away and the ferry is free. They have bikes if you want to bike around the city like a local. Staying with them was among my favorite part of visiting Amsterdam. The view on there house boat is so beautiful. Waking up and coming back to that is really quite refreshing. The only thing I'd be aware of when choosing this location is it is difficult to get an Uber driver to take you back to this location since most of the drivers are in the city and this is across the water. But really, it's not too bad of a walk at all. I would definitely recommend them. And when I come back, I will be sure to pay them a visit.
