Thank you so much, Birgit, for your warm welcome.
Birgit made sure we could find the houseboat upon arrival; she came with a bag full of touristic brochure ans took the time to sit with us to give us a topo about the city.
And what to say about the boat? It is by far one of the best place we have stayed at around the world. We were three people (a couple and a friend) and there was enough space for everyone (one huge bed and one double bed from a sofa-bed). The place is clean, identical to the pictures shown, full of light, kitchen with all convenience, confortable living roon, chairs outside on both sides so we can enjoy sunrise and sunset.
Perfect location for a conference in Bella Center (5 min by bike). We rented bikes nearby in shop suggested by Birgit and could easily get to the center by a beautiful 15 min ride along the water. Otherwise, a bus could take us there in about the same time.
I strongly recommend this place, and surely would rent it again in my next visit.
