We feel privileged to have stayed in Paul and John´s home the Dutch barge Maxime, a cozy houseboat in central London, just a short walk from the tube. The mooring is within a secured gated area where you find a community of interesting people all enjoying this fabulously different lifestyle. The boat itself is obviously a loved home, very comfortably furnished with all you could want including goodies for your breakfast: shortbread, bread, jams, tea, coffee and fresh milk. The boat is kept beautifully warm with a stove burner and there is plenty of hot water. Enjoying a hot bath is preferable to the shower as the standing room is limited but having said that there is a very good shower in the boat house. All is exactly as shown in the photos.
John and Paul are perfect hosts and we felt very sad to leave. Would definitely recommend Maxime and hope we will be able to return someday.
