Mary Ann’s place is lovely. It is an easy walk to the city center and the red light district (a little less than a mile). It’s also a short walk to the park. We rode their bikes, which were included in the rental to museum district and it was an easy ride. The house boat is right by a draw bridge, so can be noisy at times, but it never once disturbed our sleep. We already miss our time there and hope to come back to the house boat some day.
