Such a nice stay! The perfect place if your are looking for an authentically experience, that only a houseboat in Amsterdam can offer you. Mares houseboat is located in a very peaceful area, ideal to relax in the afternoon, watching the ducks by the window... And yes, Mares is a very nice person, warm and welcoming. Her interior is a wonder for the eyes (and the rest of the senses!).
The North of Amsterdam is not the typical thing you can wait from the city. The neighbourhood is industrial, very dynamic and full of cultural surprises (super hip restaurants and places, unique museum - Straat was such a nice experience -). We love it!

Thanks a lot Mares / see you next time!
