We arrived a little earlier than expected and Arie wasn't there, but 10 minutes later he turned up with some items from the supermarket and let us in. He welcomed us well and made us feel very much at home. The boat is lovely. Very spacious and has everything you'll need. TV, stereo and wifi worked fine and it was very comfortable.
You do need to get used to the fact you're on a boat but once the sea legs kicked in we were fine. It's in good location - very quiet at night (exception is the clock nearby which does ring every hour) yet able to get to most places within 15-20 minutes walking.
The best time was Sunday morning when the sun was out, we sat upstairs with the large window over the canal open and had our breakfast while watching the boats go by. Simply lovely.
