This houseboat is as beautifully done as it appears in the pictures, but unfortunately Ben's listing is not up to date. The pictures are not current. The following things are worth noting:
1. There is no furnished roof deck.
2. The boat is on land (as mentioned in the listing), but overlooks a car impound lot.
3. The boat is so close to JFK that you can see the planes at the gate. Bring ear plugs!
4. There are no curtains, at least not in one of the bedrooms and in the living room. This means no privacy, not even to put on pajamas. But also, there are EXTREMELY bright security lights in the marina that shine directly in to the upstairs bedroom. It might be better in the downstairs bedrooms, but that is the one that we preferred. Bring eye masks!
I'm honestly not sure how no one has mentioned any of these things in a previous review. However, Ben was accommodating when we decided we wanted to leave after one night instead of three. For that reason, plus the fact that the boat is very beautiful, I have given 3 stars.
