Wonderful stay on the houseboat!

We recently stayed on the cute and charming houseboat when we started our European vacation! Lydia and Uhuru were so kind and welcoming! They greeted us when we arrived and were wonderful about answering all of our questions during our stay! We really enjoyed drinking our coffee on the top floor of the boat to watch the sun come up and the area is so quiet.

Wer schon immer mal auf einem alten Binnenschiff sein wollte, der hat bei Lydia und Uhuru genau diese tolle Möglichkeit. Die beiden sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, geben Tipps für Amsterdam und Umgebung und lassen einen teilhaben am Leben auf dem Wasser. Die De Hoop ist klasse, man hat sein eigenes kleines Reich und der Kaffee schmeckt morgens in der Steuerkabine mit herrlichen Rundumblick einfach nur noch besser. Die 2 Erwachsene (Matrosen) ist die FeWo gut ausgestattet. Obwohl es keine Möglichkeit zum kochen gibt, ist eine Kaffeemaschine und ein Wasserkocher vorhanden und man kommt gut zurecht. Günstige Parkmöglichkeit ist ganz in der Nähe, genauso wie Geschäfte und die S-Bahn. In 15 Minuten ist man an der Central Station und mitten im Geschehen Amsterdams.Für uns waren die 3 Tage einfach nur Genießen. Und wer abends von der City zurück kommt, kann bei einem Drink auf dem Achterschiff im Liegestuhl die Sterne geniesen. Dank Lydia und Uhuru ein unvergessliches Erlebnis für uns. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
