The Boathouse was a fantastic place to stay for a 5 day couples trip to Amsterdam.
The accommodation is cosy and comfortable, right on the edge of the water with a lovely view towards the right of central Amsterdam and a relaxing decking area (with a BBQ!). The bedroom area is up a ladder but this was easy to navigate and the ladder tucks up during the day which gives plenty of space downstairs to relax on the sofa. The kitchen area met all of our needs with plates/bowls/glasses provided as well as a fridge and a dining area. The bathroom was really well equipped with shampoo and shower gel provided as well as a hairdryer and soap.
It was extremely easy to get everywhere we needed to go (i.e. all the main tourist areas). A less than 5 minute walk to the ferry which seemed to go every 5 minutes, and a 2 minute ferry ride gets you to Amsterdam Central Station, from which everything is easily navigated. Yet despite being so close to everything, it was an extremely private and tranquil space, out of the hustle and bustle of the main city centre.
Although Karina was on holiday during her visit, Eric was an excellent host and helped us on check in and check out with local things to do and everything we needed to know.
The Boathouse was very comfortable and provided everything we needed and more. We hope to come back soon.
