The houseboat was charming, cozy, clean and had a great patio area. We may have experienced gezellig for the first time! The location is removed from the city center, but was a short walk to the tram that got us to central station quickly. Siem's father greeted us, showed us around and had a bottle of wine and snacks for us ready when we arrived.
The local market (LandMarkt) was excellent, but take note of its hours: we arrived after it closed, and it's the only food shop in the area.
We loved our stay and hope someday to return!
