The Boat House was an amazing location for our first trip to Amsterdam. We were very near to Damstraat where there are a lot of places to eat and drink. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Centraal Station, which is convenient. Karin was an exceptional host. She allowed us to drop off our luggage 3 hours before check in, and we were running late for a bike tour so she was generous enough to let us use her bikes to get there on time. We were there on a bit of busy weekend, so the streets were busy and it was slightly noisy in the room. Overall, the hospitality was amazing, and you can't beat the location.
