Michele was great; let me hang out in her part of the houseboat when I arrived early and waited for the previous guests to check out. When I returned home late one night without my key, Michele interrupted her evening to get me a spare key.
The room is small, but I didn't need a closet for my small suitcase and stuff.
I love how the window slides opens a foot above the water. It was a convenient walk to the RAI convention center, lots of restaurants, etc. in the area.
