We (myself, my husband and our 7-year old) enjoyed our stay on Eltjo's boat . He and and his girlfriend were very welcoming. We were shown around the boat, and given excellent advice about visiting the city. We were lucky to have sunny weather and being on a boat, and a beautiful at that, in such weather was splendid! The bed was remarkably comfortable and we slept like babes. We plan to stay with them again whenever we're in Amsterdam. I highly recommend it.
