For anyone looking for an affordable and comfortable experience on a houseboat, I would highly recommend Karin's place. The houseboat is located a little further away from the city centre but the serene environment made it a good break from the buzz of the city. Karin and Robin were also great hosts, responding to our queries promptly and went the extra mile to provide some food in the fridge and allowing us to leave our luggage at their place after check-out, so that we can do a little more sight-seeing before heading to the airport. Overall, our stay in Karin's place made our experience in Amsterdam so much more memorable!
