We had a wonderful stay in Caroline’s houseboat. She was there to welcome us, had wine and cookies laid out, and was always prompt in replying to our questions. The houseboat was amazing, has a great view of the canal, and we loved the little deck outside. We were able to see ducks, swans and geese up close. We were within easy walking distance from Centraal Station and even though it is in close proximity to the red light area, it was still very quiet and peaceful. There is a dishwasher, washer, dryer, fully stocked kitchen so we could have the comforts of home while still feeling like we were on a grand holiday. We would definitely recommend Caroline’s place and hope to have the opportunity to stay there again.
