The houseboat is large and very comfortable. We were much further from the city center than we thought. We had to walk 10-15 min to get to the tram and then 20 minutes by tram to the city. There were no restaurants or markets nearby. Again it would have been a 10-15 min walk to get food. We would have appreciated knowing this before we arrived, at night, with no supplies. The other issue was that the heat was impossible to figure out.It was cold and rainy while we were there. A list with directions on how to use the heat would have been helpful. And lastly, there is a door in the kitchen that opens directly to the water below. No deck. It was dark and we could have fallen in the canal! Not good if you have children. May we suggest a note on the door warning the guests not to go out that door! Once we figured out how to get in to town and how to warm the place up, we enjoyed our stay. The houseboat itself is very clean and attractive.
