A delightful stay in Karina’s boathouse which is on land but inches from the water. The view from the deck is industrial but still very relaxing. The proximity of the Free (no fee or ticket needed) ferry (a 15 minute walk from the ferry on north Amsterdam to the boathouse) from it’s embarkation at the main train station is a huge plus since most of the trams to just about anywhere in Amsterdam start from the train station. We bought a 3 day metro pass which was so easy to use on the trams.
Be keenly aware that the ladder to the sleeping loft is not for people with mobility issues. And, since I’m short, I wouldn’t have been able to bring it down or put it back up when not in use. My husband was tall enough to do that.
The kitchen is minimal but adequate. No stove or hot plate of any kind. Small fridge, micro, coffee maker (Karina graciously provides the coffee) and toaster. The grocery store is a good 15 minute walk away from the boathouse but has everything one would need.
Would we stay there again even with its quirks? Yes!
