Everything was very smooth at check-in and check-out. The houseboat inside is immaculate and the view is fabulous. All of the beds are comfortable and the shower is absolutely amazing. Everything is every bit as nice as you see in the photos.

But there were a few downsides for us. It can be very loud at night to sleep. There was a lot of trash and wood floating next to the boat that banged on the sides and was very loud at times in the night. One night even had a very large (3-4 Meter) section of a tree trunk hitting the side. I am not sure if it was swept away by the current or if the city has someone that cleans it up. But one day the water was completely filled with trash between the boat and shore and the next day it was completely clean. The other problem was Paris in the summer. It was 30-35C every day. The main floor and upstairs bedroom have AC, but the 3 main bedrooms do not and we were told to not open the bedroom windows (they are portholes very close to the water level). The first night was so hot in the bedrooms that the second day we turned the AC upstairs on maximum all day and night just to keep cool air flowing down towards the bedrooms so they wouldn't be 40C+ at night. This worked to cool it down slightly, but having rooms with windows that can't be opened and no AC can make it very difficult to sleep in the summer.
