Susan's houseboat is located in a lovely neighborhood. The suite is fantastic because even when you need a couple of hours to recharge, you have a beautiful view of the canal and surrounding homes. The blinds can be pulled in both directions, which is great after you've had enough of waving to smiling strangers on boat tours. And the bed is maybe the most comfortable bed we've ever slept on.
My only gripe is that the houseboat has zero soundproofing. If you stay in the Van Gogh suite, you are sandwiched between the owner's home and another guest suite, and you can hear both very clearly. Especially when people are speaking in the entryway, it sounds like they are practically inside of your room, and the doors are difficult to shut quietly, so you also hear a lot of door slamming. It's not that anyone was being particularly loud, but it feels that way given the lack of soundproofing, and that sometimes spoils the vibe in the suite. Otherwise a perfect stay!
