First timer to Boston. The decision to choose Sleep Afloat over a hotel was a great one! The Capricornus was in a terrific spot at a secure marina…a short walk got us to North End dining, Aquarium, Ducks, tour trolleys, Quincy Market and plenty of nightlife locales, and we were able to get across town to the Freedom Trail/Common/Public Garden/‘where everybody knows your name’ on foot in no time. The houseboat offered a level of privacy/exclusivity/‘breathing room’ that hotels often can not and was just as well appointed, if not better: comfortable sleeping arrangements (we had 5 guests) a full size fridge with ice maker, a bathroom stocked with towels and necessities, and that sun deck was an amazing space to gather. Staff was attentive and responsive-when we communicated a request, we got a fast reply and on-site service. Based on our experience aboard the Capricornus and with SleepAfloat, we highly recommend this option if you’re going to stay in Boston. Cheers!
