I stayed on the houseboat for three nights in March with my three young children, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience. The hosts were very communicative and helpful during the entire planning and booking process.
The boat is just steps away from a subway station in a very central part of the city. We were easily able to connect all over! The accommodations were fantastic for a family. The kids loved the lofted bed and the wonderful bathtub (I had imagined that bathing would be an issue on the boat but that was not the case at all!).
For families with young children - boarding the boat is a bit precarious but doable. Once on the boat, the system of multiple doors makes it very safe to contain little ones.
Many thanks to our gracious hosts for their hospitality.
