We had a fantastic few days at the boat house. It’s super easy to reach from Centraal Station by ferry (a lovely routine in itself) so we felt connected to all the main sights but away from the hustle and bustle in a lovely secluded spot. So relaxing to wake every morning and watch the water lapping right outside the window - and to feel sheltered from the crazy wind and rain!
The boat house is small but cosy and had everything we needed and the bikes were a bonus - especially good when seeking out the often isolated hotspots of the Noord. Karine was quick to respond to any queries - even appearing to fix the stove when needed - but gave us complete privacy.
Amsterdam is a fascinating, evolving city and this is a brilliant home from which to explore some of its lesser known charms.
