This is the PERFECT place to stay if you are travelling with a group of friends like we did. Not only is Marcel very friendly and his boat a great place to spend a few days. He can also help you with recommendations. We tried out a restaurants he recommended, and it was nothing short of amazing - the best food we had on our trip.
The pier is situated outside the city center, but it is quick, easy and cheap to hop on the train. You'll be in the center of things in 15 minutes or so. Furthermore, being located outside the city makes for a calmer amd more relaxed atmosphere.
We had a blast during our stay. Highly recommended!
