Living on a boat is everything I imagined and much more. The space is perfect for one on a daily basis, and I did host up to 8 people for an afternoon tea. I didn't need to use the shower as I showered in the office. Though shower and toilet might be inconvenience if you are tall. The boat is cosy and the stove is amazing. Shaolan is a great host, very friendly and helped sorting out many issues during my two week stay. I would be happy to stay here again.
