The location of the boat is good, however the photo in the ad of seeing Eiffel Tower is false. You can’t see it at all from the boat. The boat is also half under the bridge, so you will smell the piss under the bridge and random pass by people sitting on shore staring into the boat. Also location is central, but nothing is actually close by (metro, bakery cafe, restaurant etc all minimum 15 minute walk.)
Location aside, the boat is worse than hostel standard. When we got there, the bed sheets were dirty. My son’s bed sheet had clear sweat patches and was just disgusting. We contacted the co host, he never came to change the sheets… the next day, 3 out of 4 of us had bed bug bits on our bodies!
The electric fittings are dangerous. Most PowerPoints don’t work, the ones that do are loose and cut in and out all the time. Light in the kitchen is a loose table lamp with a switch next to the tap!!!
We left after one night, simply couldn’t stand the disgusting state of the boat and no one wanted more bed bug bites. We paid over €600 per night for this!!!! I just couldn’t believe how falsely advertised this place is! Also after contacting the co host numerous times, he never came to solve the problems. We had to use Air Cover from AirBnB to refund our remaining night stays.
If you don’t want your Paris experience ruined, get bed bug bites as souvenirs and pay top dollar last minute trying to find somewhere to stay in Paris, then stay far far away from this boat! If you have booked already, cancel now! This place should be de-listed by Air BnB.
