Karin’s boathouse studio is perfect for a stay in Amsterdam. It’s in a central location. Karin is very nice and gave many suggestions and good information about the city upon arrival. The free bikes are a great if you’re feeling adventurous. The place is noisy- you can hear steps from the floor above and sounds of the street from outside. This was expected and didn’t bother us as we planned to explore more than stay in. I recommend this for anyone staying in Amsterdam for a few days. If we go back, we’d certainly stay at the boathouse again!
