This was magical. We sat around in the wheelhouse at night, drinking wine, watching the swans and geese and ducks and dogs in the park across the canal behind the lovely weeping willow and just couldn't fathom we were really there.

Peter was a delightful host. He was very patient with our time schedule (our arrival changed several times), patient with our impatience to see Binky the cat and was very helpful about helping us explore this extraordinary city.

The space was intimate, great kitchen and bath (we actually cooked a few nights), useful storage space - an amazing use of a compact environment. And the wheelhouse was like the penthouse, the view of the world above stairs.

As wonderful as Amsterdam was on its own merits, the boathouse presented an additional experience and layer that deepened every part of our stay. Stay here - you'll love it!
