The view of the Eiffel Tower was fantastic. The main floor was open and inviting and beautifully decorated. Full kitchen & washer/dryer as promised. It was our first houseboat experience and difficult to get adjusted to the motion from the water traffic. In addition, there wasn't any air conditioning on the lower level where all of the bedrooms, except for one, are located. Also, you weren't able to open the windows on the lower level. Unfortunately, it was hot during our stay in Paris and difficult to sleep on the lower level.
