If you want the complete Amsterdam experience you will need to stay on a houseboat. With Eltjo and Liselore this houseboat experience was perhaps the pinnacle of any vacation I've ever had. To listen to the sounds of the swans and soft lapping of the water while sleeping in a quiet secluded spot nearby to city central, I could only think that I had finally arrived. This vacation could not have been any better if I had stayed for a month instead of the two days that I had. Warm and inviting, my hosts made me feel like family and that Amsterdam was my new home. I hope one day I can return again to the comfort that Eltjo and Liselore have given so freely. Thank you so much for an incredible experience.
