After spending all day walking in the highly active and congested city of Amsterdam dodging bicycles, it was wonderful to get away to Sandra's peaceful and comfortable boathouse. The tram is about a 15 minute walk. You will likely be able to shorten that walk if you are more acquainted with the city than we were! (First timers, here!) and Uber, of course, is convenient to and from the airport (15 min) and anywhere else. If you are familiar with Amsterdam, Sandra offered 2 bicycles for our use. It was our first visit, so we think we made the correct choice, walking to the tram, before attempting the city by bike. We found the unique and private canal location to be an added bonus. Waking up to the view with coffee on the New Lake House Canal porch is an inspiration before you venture out. The bed and bedding were inviting and luxurious. Sandra had all of the amenities to make our stay relaxing, and was right next door for any unanticipated needs or advice. Sandra is an efficient and perfect host.
