What a wonderful find - Liz's sunny houseboat! Excellent, quiet location, just 10 min. walk from the terminus of the 397 Express bus from Schiphol Airport (40-50 mins away). Lovely welcome on arrival with chilled Prosecco and snacks. The houseboat exceeded expectations - in a very quiet area, warm (central heating), cosy, bright, dead quiet with a lovely sunny south facing aspect. Patio door leads out onto the open terrace with seating area. The room has an en-suite private bathroom with an excellent shower and lots of hot water. Magical being right on the waters edge with geese and ducks around. It is totally comfy and Liz provides everything necessary in order to have breakfast each morning - kettle, cafetiere, delph, cutlery, glassware and a small fridge. So able to stock up on all the necessary breakfast items and fruit in the excellent Vomar supermarket just a 6 min. walk away. Also just a 3 min. walk to Marqt - real, fresh food market, with all locally sourced produce and freshly baked breads. In the next street across is the tram into Dam Square and Central Station. Alternatively it is only a 25 min. scenic walk to the lovely Spui district with its plentiful bars and restaurants, inc. the famous Cafe Hoppe - one of the oldest bars in Amsterdam (since 1670). Just around the corner from the houseboat is the really nice Bar Benjamin with friendly staff and warm welcome/atmosphere. Lovely for a relaxing pint after a day wandering around the city! They also do food. So, all in all, would really rate everything about the houseboat 110%. All communication with Liz was prompt and all queries at the outset adequately addressed. She also let me leave my suitcase there after the 11.00 check out so could spend the last day wandering around again without it till finally leaving Amsterdam at 17.00 to head to the airport. That was much appreciated. Would certainly recommend the houseboat without hesitation and look forward to staying in it again when next visiting Amsterdam.
