Frans and Loecky are wonderful hosts. Their apartment is just as shown in the pictures. It is modern and spotless. Everything you could possibly want is found in the fully equipped kitchen. Having a clothes washer is particularly helpful if you are there for a few days.
Snacks and a few beverages were in the apartment when we arrived. A nice supply of coffee and teas are always available. A supermarket is within easy walking distance for everything else you want to purchase if you plan on preparing some of your own meals.
The houseboat is located in the southernmost part of Amsterdam which made it very appealing to us. After spending hours in the museums and other busy tourist areas, it was nice to hop on a tram and return to a residential area on a quiet canal. The walk to the tram is about 15 or 20 minutes, and the tram takes you directly to Central Station. Since it is close to the end of tram line #1, we always got a seat, even on weekday mornings when many people were going to work.
A special bonus was the fact that Frans offered to pick us up at the airport for a modest fee. After a long transatlantic flight, it was wonderful not to hassle with luggage and navigate other forms of transportation.
I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for modern comfort away from the hectic center of the city.
