We loved everything about Friedrich's boat. While it was in a nice quiet location on the water, it was also very close to main train station and tourist areas. Boat is beautiful, great size and well equipped with everything you'd need for a long or short stay. We did have concerns about some "plank" people were talking about before arriving, but I have no idea what they were talking about when we arrived. There is a large "plank" walkway, but it is on the other house boat roof, touching it and there is no chance of falling into water. Stairs were a bit shaky getting down, as expected on a boat, but it was fine as help is given taking bags down
