Frans is a particularly great host. He does listen to his guests and he does respond in a very timely fashion. The apartment is very clean and very attractive. It was a very pleasant experience to be on a houseboat and to dip our hot, aching feet into a pleasantly cool canal. I was sorry I was too short to be able to use one of the bicycles but my husband was able to do so. The location is not close to the city centre but if you can walk about 30 minutes you can pick up a bus or tram to the city. Frans picked us up at the airport and then took us to the airport and for that we are most appreciative. If you do not mind walking or if you are able to ride a bicycle, you will enjoy staying at Frans houseboat.
