Peaceful haven from the busy-ness of the Central Station area!
Reinhart's float home on a tiny dead end canal a 2 minute ferry ride and walk of a few hundred meters from the Central Station, is an oasis of quiet and stillness.
He was very responsive pre and post booking, and was able to accommodate us to drop our bags a couple hours before check in time. His lovely home moves gently with the water's motion, and the large bedroom and adjoining bathroom is simple and well appointed.
The bed is super comfortable and with opening windows on two sides, the fresh air is delightful as you listen to the birds in the evening and early hours. Breakfast was a nice array of breads, spreads, coffee, tea and juice with cheese and soft boiled eggs, and Reinhart is a professional person who is friendly and engaging, but leaves you lots of space. Ideal.
The location is the best part. The 3 minute ferry ride to North Amsterdam where the float house is, runs every 5 minutes and runs through the night, and unloads right at the water side of the Central Station. Then it's just a five minute walk to Reinhart's private dock space with small onshore garden.
Recommended to anyone who wants a quiet place to unwind after the hectic pace of downtown Amsterdam.
