Wow, what a place! We had a fantastic few days in Amsterdam on Egbert’s beautiful boat.
Egbert was lovely - he met us at check in, helped us with our (huge) bags and showed us around. He even left some nice local beers and snacks to keep us going after a long day travelling!
The studio is perfect for two, and has more than everything you need. The area of Borneo Island itself is a criminally underrated part of Amsterdam - having never heard of it before, we were so pleasantly surprised to see the houseboats, each quirky and unique, lined up alongside modern houses that sit right on the canal. It was very peaceful both day and night, such a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the centre!
Transport to Centraal by bus takes about 15mins with the stop just down the road, and we also took trams to get nearer Jordaan which was only 20mins (with the stop a little further from the boat).
It was also really useful to have a plug-in stove and all cooking essentials so that we could cook our own meals and save some money from the tourist traps!
Thanks Egbert for a perfect stay. Hopefully we will be back some day!
