Karin’s boathouse was in a brilliant location. Myself and my partner loved our stay in Amsterdam. The studio is very central yet on a quiet canal close by to the Red Light District. Priced well compared to most hotels near by, and accessible as you can enter the apartment at the side of the property without going through the main house. The noise as mentioned in previous reviews was quite prevalent. Not so much with the outside but more the floorboards above, all you could hear if there was anyone in upstairs was footsteps that echoed through the whole apartment. We had a slight issue with the shower whilst we were there, as it kept running out of hot water because of one of the other tenants overusing the boiler upstairs. However Karin was very accommodating and offered for us to use her personal shower so that we didn’t have to bear the freezing water. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and recommend the apartment to all
