What an amazing place to visit! An amazing accommodation that was a completely different experience to previous trips to this beautiful city. The boat is as the photos show.... large, bright, spacious with lots of quirky little details. It is quiet and peaceful, only occasional chirps from the local wildlife or a hello from a passing neighbour. There is a tram and bus stop very near by and it is very simple to get to central station and all other hotspots around the city.
The bathroom is quite big, great hot water and water pressure in the shower, which I believe is all generated from solar panels on board (I may stand corrected!). There is a good sized bath as well. Both beds were very comfortable, with good pillows and linens, plenty of extra blankets and towels provided. The kitchen is compact but very good layout and very functional, there is even a dishwasher squeezed in!
There is no washing machine (a luxury for us travelling for 6 weeks) but Ingeborg happily managed a mountain of washing the three of us gave her. We arrived home one afternoon to see our underwear waving in the breeze along the front of the boat!! The amount of washing we gave her was overwhelming, but it was received with a smile and returned clean and folded.
We were so appreciative of this, and other small details such as fresh flowers on our arrival, local tips for sights and restaurants. We enjoyed meeting Ingeborg and Renze, they even accepted our invitation to join us for a glass of wine by the fire on the deck. There is a separate entrance for guests and another for the hosts so there is always the option to have a more private stay if you wish.
We cannot thank Ingeborg and Renze enough for having us, it was a unique experience and we couldn’t have asked for more. Already dreaming of the day we can go back.
