Kenny and I really enjoyed staying on the Maria. It was a truly unique experience. It is important that you have Uber or are willing to take the trams into the city center. We did a far share of walking, but Amsterdam is a walking/biking city. Kenny and I did not bike, because we didn't feel confident to ride with the pros, but we did love watching the ease with which the locals peddled around the city. We recommend the Anne Frank Museum, local market and canal tour. We only had 2 days in this beautiful city and staying on the water was a perfect fit.
