Staying in the ship was a fantastic experience. The location was perfect- pubs and cafes nearby (some literally opposite the ship) and about a 10-15min walk into the heart of town. We walked everywhere while we were there. It is special to stay somewhere unique instead of your stock standard hotel. The communication and support from Barabara was great. The ship has some basic cutlery and a fridge which was handy as we stocked some drinks and breakfast items for ourselves. The ship could have been cleaner but this did not affect our enjoyment of it. We couldn’t figure out how to work the safe but we could lock the doors on the ship and our things were perfectly safe. On Saturday we woke to a pleasant surprise of a big market opposite the ship which had fresh juice, bakery, fresh produce, flowers, etc. Staying in this area of town is highly recommended!
