This boathouse is so beautiful, clean, up to date, quiet, and with a great location! Away enough of the city buzz but close enough to get there in ~15 mins using the very close bus/tram station.
Conveniently, there are grocery stores, restaurants and bike rentals 5 minutes walk from the locks where the boat is.
Ingeborg and her husband were very nice and helpful hosts.
Staying in a boathouse was a unique experience for me and my family. My teen and my kid were both very excited about it.
I was a little worried about getting seasick because of being on a boat but you can hardly feel it moves. It’s not something that would bother you unless you’re extremely sensitive.
The boat is equipped with all the bathroom essentials, Nespresso coffee maker, coffee, tea and basic kitchen utensils and everyday items like condiments and cooking oil. Dishwasher, oven, and a mini fridge. There’s no microwave oven (“magnetron” as it is called in dutch) which was fine because we don’t use it anyways ;)
There are board games, TV, WiFi, and an old CD and vinyl record player with some oldies to play which was very nice to use while we were relaxing after a busy day out. On a personal note, finding Anne Clark’s cds to play was a very nice surprise for me :)
Thanks Ingeborg and Renze for helping us have a happy stay in Amsterdam!
Wishing you the best,
