We had a really good time on the boat (Jessie). ! would give it a 5 start review had it not been for a little snafu at the start of our stay. We had to wait 5 hours while the boat came back from a "pump out" at an out of town location as the local maintenance depot was out of order. It was not Meg's fault but it was a huge inconvenience.

To Meg's credit she did offer us an extra day but that wasn't practical given our schedule.

The rest of our stay was delightful full of ducks, amazing views and great canal side walks. The boat is very comfortable and child friendly. It is in a great location and easy to reach other parts of London from (close to two tube stations and the national rail system.

You can also walk many places from the boat . Regents Park, The Zoo and Camden Lock are all within reasonable walking distance along the canal.

Jessie (the boat) is close to shops and some lovely pubs and restaurants. The fellow boat dwellers and other local people were all very friendly.

Meg was a great host and made sure we had all we need. I strongly recommend this for short and unique London vacation.
