What a great experience! Instead of booking an appartment we decided for Simons and Sarahs houseboat - and we weren't disappointed!
We had a very warm welcome with Simon who gave us a very nice introduction in living on a boat. The boat is in a great condition. The two bedrooms are small (of course, it's a boat) but they are furnished lovely. Especially our daughter enjoyed her nest :-)
The boat is equipped with everything we needed. We have even been provided with some breakfast food and some goodies like Coke and coffee.
The area is absolutely quiet. We didn't meet the neighbours from the other boats often, but the contact was really friendly. We even received an invitation to a funny boat party - thanks to Matt and Rachel!
Bus is only a 3 minutes walk, tube (Kings Cross or Angel) is appr. a 10-15min walk. We were in the heart of London within 30 minutes.
All in all we would recommend the Galatee to everyone being interested in a central but quiet location with great opportunities for taking a meal on deck or taking a walk or a run on the canal.
