Communication with Marc's associates was easy and prompt. Locating the boat was easy. The location is awesome overall! Convenient to metro and many of the Paris museums and attractions. It was a highlight of our trip to sit on the deck sipping wine, eating baguette and cheese, and watching the boats go by. As others have said, this is not a luxury boat - it is a boat built in the 70s snd with mostly original furnishings etc (tho the beds were new and super comfy!). Think of it like camping and you'll be prepared. Also as other have shared, the boat is parked closest to the dock and there is another boat on the water dude next to you. We put our chairs on the other side of the deck and it didn't diminish the experience at all, but it's not clear from the listing so sharing so ppl are prepared for that. It's a really fun experience and everyone we dealt with was so friendly and kind. Especially grateful for the washer/dryer as we were at the end of our 5 week trip! Wifi was also excellent on the boat and even on the deck up top.
