We stayed on the houseboat for a few days in early February. The location and experience were one of a kind - I can't recommend enough the experience! The host was excellent: responsive, offered local recommendations, etc. The location is great and walkable to so many attractions.
There are some aspects of the houseboat experience that visitors should keep in mind: the space is tight and you're living on the water.
- Getting to the room is not easy if you are physically impaired or have a lot of luggage. You must step off a ramp and onto a narrow walkway and then walk down the side of the boat to the room.
- The space is small. I am 178 cm (5' 10") tall and had to watch my head in the space.
- The room was very cold in early February. The radiator heater is only on in the evening and hardly heats the room, and the electric heater struggles as well. Be sure to close the door to the upstairs, and I recommend a hot bath to warm up the space!
