This was our first time using Airbnb (traveling from the US for a week in Amsterdam) and the experience was very favorable. The houseboat lodging is a very fun way to experience the city. It is comfortable and tastefully decorated and the amenities were more than adequate. Reinhardt respects your desire for privacy, yet prepares a wonderful European breakfast in the morning. We loved the trip to the houseboat - from the hustle of the Central station across the Ij river on the free ferry then a short walk along the canal next to the bike lane, across the locks into the quiet neighborhood of the locks. We liked exploring the Noord side. Plus Reinhardt has bikes to rent at a very inexpensive daily rate. Finally, let's not forget the unexpected surprise of Dora, the houseboat cat - very quiet and charming.
