We had a wonderful stay on Houseboat Nova, what a perfect home away from home!! We really enjoyed getting to know the area and staying out of the main downtown was great, especially since we were traveling with our 2 year old daughter. The houseboat was a welcome retreat from a long day of sightseeing. There are two great parks within walking distance which we visited everyday. The highchair, child's bike seat and bathtub were handy additions, making our visit much easier. The kitchen was well stocked and after exploring the markets and the local grocery store, we made some fantastic meals. There are some steep stairs, which weren't a problem for us, but could be for younger children. Harry and his mother did a nice job of making us feel welcome, answering questions, etc. We stayed a week and wish it had been longer. We look forward to our next visit and will definitely stay on Houseboat Nova again!!
