Frans is a warm, very responsive and a very nice non-intrusive but easily accessible host. He stays next door to the B&B and is just a shout away. The boat house of Frans was very lovely and is located in a very quiet place very away from the bustle of the city. It is perhaps a 10 minute walk from Ecuplein which is the tram and I think also the nearest bus stop. Frans offers pick up/drop from Ecuplein. Amsterdam Centraal is a 45 minute tram journey from Ecuplein. There is nice traditional windmill about 200 metres away from his place. I loved staying there. Thanks Frans.
