We absolutely loved our boat house experience in Amsterdam at Lydia's!
My wife and I visited Amsterdam with our 3 children ages 8, 5 and 3. Though the room was only rated for 2 pax, kind Lydia offered to put up an air mattress so we could try the boat house experience - and I'm so glad we did!
Lydia is easily the best Airbnb host we've ever had. She went the full distance to make us (especially the kids) feel welcome. My daughter was sobbing in tears when having to leave, for missing Lydia and her 2 cats Tommy and Neemus.
The boat house itself is authentic, something we specifically were looking for - not the kind that is basically an apartment floating on the water. It's a 100-years-old cargo boat that Lydia lovingly preserved. Has all the charms, like a ladder leading down into the living quarters and a heating furnace-like thing to keep warm in winter.
The location itself is just awesome. We basically walked the entire 4 nights we were in Amsterdam, didn't need to use any form of transport, and could still cover all the popular sights of Amsterdam itself.
10/10 would stay again. Thanks Lydia!
