A once in a lifetime experience but KNOW what you are in for!
If you ever wanted to know how it feels to be sleeping in a rustic boat then this is the "thang".
Anastasia & Vito gave us helpful tips and the whole check in/out was super simple! BIG PLUS!
I've read a few negative reviews and they clearly misinterpreted what this boat has to offer.
The Location is not the classic house boat. It's a barge out of commission. You'll be sleeping and living in the Crews-Quarters. It's small but really cozy. It might be too much for three grownups, but my buddy and I (both around 1,90m) had enough space. The height of the ceiling might be a challenge for some but we didn't have to many bump-ins.
If you want to teach your stubborn male partner to sit on the toilet this location might be the perfect teaching-ground! They WILL sit for sure or end up on "the funniest home-videos" - believe me!
As I stated before: KNOW what you are in for. Don't complain about the characteristics of a boat after booking. You'll just set yourself up for failure and a bad time. So be aware!
The drain is problem but easily fixable and the mattresses could be a bit thicker, but overall we had no problems. The barge is in the cities centre so expect plenty of tourists and tourist places. Not really the "dutch experience". We weren't really aware of while planning and our own fault. We managed though.
We visited in winter and it was never cold or drafty. I bet the location is really cool in summer when you can back on deck and chill.
