Diewert was a great host! Very helpful with advice and tips. Gave us a couple of excellent eating choices and thanks to him we now know that we like Indonesian food! The room on his houseboat was just as discribed and pitcured, very clean and modern. Great shower with great water pressure and nice hot water. The neighborhood was a nice place to relax after a day in the hustle of the central part of Amsterdam. Room was well stocked and had everything we needed. Very comfortable bed!
