Me and my best friend planned to spend our Easter holidays in Amsterdam this year and we were very lucky, as some guests cancelled their stay and we had the chance to stay at the Maria.

When we entered the room, it felt like home from the first moment on. It has a modern design and it is very cozy. Even the room is not that big it is so functional and has everything you need. The bed is so big and comfy, we slept like babies.

The shower was the biggest surprise, I think. We only expected a tiny bathroom with a toilet and small shower but the shower had so much space and was so nice.

Everything was clean: the room, kitchen, bathroom...everything!

At the beginning, we could feel that the ship was moving and heard the noise of the ropes but after a short time we got used to it and did not even noticed that anymore.

The ship is not far away from the city center. The first days, we walked and it took us around 20-25 minutes. The other days we rented bikes so it was much faster.

In my opinion, Egbert is the perfect host.
During our stay, he took care about us every day. He was sending a message every day just to know, if everything was fine. He also filled the fridge with some milk, water and local beer.
Before we went back to Germany, we had the chance to meet Egbert and his family. They were all so kind. We talked a little, had some coffee together and even had the chance to see the rest of the ship Maria which is amazing.

Staying on the Maria is a real dutch experience which nobody should miss.

For my next trip to Amsterdam, I will definately stay on the Maria again.
