The boathouse is small and lovely. Karina was very quick to respond to all of my messages before and during our stay. The bed was very comfortable (although being 60+, we might not choose a bed where you have to climb a ladder again. Middle-of-the-night forays to the WC were a bit awkward 😉) There is a coffee maker with coffee pods and various sugars. There is a small fridge that has an ice compartment which I enjoyed so I could have ice in my water bottle daily. The shower has a rain head and was wonderful. We were there during the King’s Day holiday. We enjoyed the festivities and then came across the IJ to this lovely, quieter neighborhood for sleeping. The ferries are so convenient. We never had to wait for one. They constantly go back and forth.
Because of the ferry and Amsterdam’s wonderful public transportation, it was an easy trip from the airport, to Keukenhof, and various museums. If you want to stay out of the noise and craziness of the city center, but be able to get there with just a quick walk, this is a great spot for you.
