Laura's house boat Martha is a lovely home.
We got to the dock and were quickly given directions by another local boat owner, as we walked along the water we found Laura who greeted us and showed us around explaining the essentials.
We went as a group of four grown adults over a long weekend and had plenty of space to live comfortably. The location of the boat is a solid 35 minute walk from the center but its a nice walk along the river and we went about renting bicycles quickly from the nearby Baisikeli, which was cost and time effective.
There are certain realities to living on a boat that one doesn't think about unless living on a boat, for us this was hot water. Four consecutive hot showers is not possible given the size of the boiler, but two at a time with a half hour break in between made everyone clean and happy!
Martha, the boat, was COSY! This was one of our concerns going out, seeing as we were staying on a boat during the winter in Kobenhavn but there was heating on both levels and as long as doors and windows were kept shut, like in any home in a cold place, heat stayed in!
I would strongly recommend staying on Laura's boat, it is a lovely home, it has a well equipped kitchen to cater to a budget weekend in a classy Scandinavian city and there are not necessarily lots of opportunities to say you lived on a boat for a weekend, and this is a really nice boat!
Thanks for everything,
Melissa
