The boathouse was a beautiful place to stay for our trip to Amsterdam. The location on the canal is gorgeous with lovely views. We didn't get to see Karina while we were there, but her instructions and directions were very clear and everything was as reported. The area is very quiet but you can be in Amsterdam central in 5 minutes. The house was very clean and well equipped, and stayed cosy despite sub-zero temperatures outside! We would recommend it to anyone travelling to Amsterdam.
