Marga is a wonderful host. She was welcoming and patient when I first arrived, showing me the garden house and where the bathroom was in the (main) houseboat so I could freshen up following a long flight. She even offered me some delicious homemade dessert meant for her family, and we sat on a bench over the water and had a lovely chat. When I told her what I was looking for in the city, she immediately opened up the map and gave me detailed instructions on the best way of getting there.

Her home is located along the river, which makes for a very unique experience. It is a warm and cozy garden house, and the separation from the houseboat makes the privacy much appreciated! I made the amateur mistake of using a phone charger with the wrong voltage on the first night and blew the fuse in the room. She and her husband very kindly helped me fix that despite the fusebox being located in a shed outside. I had to leave early on my last day, and she woke up early to give me a ride to the train station.

Such patience makes Marga a lovely host and I definitely recommend her place. Thanks, Marga!
