Irene's houseboat is simply amazing, so stylish and it has all amenities, including lots of really nice touches like the coffee provided for the machine. The space is even bigger than the pictures, lots of hot water, excellent cooking facilities (and oil, salt, etc, provided). The boat is in a lovely quiet area and Irene is on hand to help with any questions. There was a complete transport strike on one day of our visit and Irene helped us plan alternative trips. Irene is a lovely host, very welcoming and always available but never in the way.
