Joost’s boathouse studio is a nice, quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. It was a quick 15-min walk to the free ferry to the central station, and there are a number of restaurants nearby. We didn’t get to meet Joost but check-in was easy with a lockbox and he had left lots of tips for visiting Amsterdam as well as some maps and info. The studio itself is sparkling clean, quite small but has all you need. Do note, there really is no door on the bathroom, so if you’re staying with someone else make sure you two are comfortable with each other! But it was a lovely stay and we would recommend it.
