I don't know what I was expecting about a room on a boat. It was a little, cute room otherwise nothing special. There wasn't really a 'view' of the canal within the room. There was a little table and chairs outside the room which was nice to eat at though. It required some up and down to get there (so definitely would not recommend to anyone with difficulties with stairs). There was nobody to actually let us in to the building when we got there and the phone number initially didn't work. But once we were checked in it was fine. Parking was also a bit tough and required either jumping a curb or backing a short distance with a car over a busy bike path. We elected to just find some street parking. Overall it was a fine experience but I think I am good on the houseboats.
