I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and if you're familiar with what it's like to live on a boat (a bit like camping), you'll love it. What made it so memorable was waking up each morning with an espresso (yes, there's a machine!), and sitting outside in the morning shade and then again at night watching canal water life (ducks, fish, occasional river traffic passing through the swinging bridge). Tranquility. The host couldn't be more accommodating or helpful. He arranged 2 bikes for us, which is a must to enjoying the area. Before you arrive, ask the host to book a reservation at a trendy, new rooftop restaurant you can bike to. In another biking direction, there's a low-key restaurant on the water. Biking into the center of the historic district is also nearby. I was worried that the place was off the beaten track, but then I basked in that experience, making this one of the most unique places I've stayed.
