We stayed for 3 nights pre-cruise from Manhattan on Angus and Lisa's House Boat. Looking back we wished we could have stayed longer. It was our first time exploring Manhattan and so was wonderful to return to the calm of the Bay each evening. Angus took us to the station each morning and always called by in the evenings to see we'd arrived home safely which we really appreciated. The House Boat is a wonderful quiet sanctuary with everything we needed and gave us the opportunity to explore not just Manhattan but Brooklyn as well by bus or train. Angus and Lisa are wonderful hosts and Angus went way beyond the call of duty to help us on one particular occasion. We are so glad we chose the boat over a Manhattan hotel
