it is a very special experience to stay at a houseboat. you are surrounded by a beautiful view of the water and the city. it was clean and Hermann put a huge bowl of fruit and drinks which was really nice. I think its too expensive in comparison to other houseboats online, and there are a couple of things that need to be fixed- the door and bathroom window didn't work properly. another thing that's important to know is that there are a lot of tourist boats that pass by really close to you and they often take your picture and look inside the living area (sleeping area is totally private), also there is a cafe right in front of the living area which again makes it not private. we found that funny and enjoyable- but I guess its not for everyone. the houseboat is very well located. all in all- a very special experience.
