Very friendly hosts! The boathouse is a small heaven by the Amstel river with many waterfowls around. It is a very unique and interesting way to enjoy the visit.
Bikes were provided. You can go anywhere in the city by a short bike ride, which is very pleasant by itself. To my family, biking is the perfect way to experience Amsterdam. The boathouse is a few minute's ride to restaurants, groceries, and Amsterdam South train station; about 20 minutes to the best museums.
