We spent four days on Caroline's wonderful houseboat and our stay couldn't have been more perfect. The location: 5 minutes by foot both from Centraal Station and Nieuwmarkt put you in an ideal spot from which to explore the city - yet at any time of day or night it's totally quiet and peaceful. The house: the minute you set foot in it, you can tell someone lives there who really loves her home. Tastefully done interiors, wonderful thick wooden floorboards, cozy lighting. The outside terrace: we had made all kinds of plans which cafés and restaurants to visit - and then ended up having every breakfast and three out of four dinners at this wonderful, green, peaceful "island". Sitting there at dusk with a candle, a bottle of wine and a picnic bought on Nieuwmarket while your fellow tourists take photos of you from their cruise boats - it's hard to beat! The hostess: Caroline has thought of everything, provides great information and is easy to reach if you have a question. Checking in and out worked perfectly. In short: we had a lovely time and we've rarely felt so sad to leave a place. Thank you Caroline, we hope to come again!
