We had a unique experience no doubt and Angus is a nice guy. However, I also have to echo one of the previous critical reviews that some of the description is misleading... we did not stay at the boat featured in the photos but houseboat #22 which Angus sublets for somebody else and our experience might reflect that fact e.g. we were brought to the nearest Metro stop on the first day but were not offered any other pick ups after that and took a taxi at night after a 2 hour trip each way into Manhattan since Angus did not seem to be aware of an express bus (that some of the other reviewers seemed to utilize) and did not know about the fact that the Q line (local train) was not working (we had to get on shuttle buses for part of the trip) that weekend (something that happens quite often with NYC Metro since they use the weekends for repair work) and the B line (express train) does not run on weekends. So if you are here to visit Manhattan make sure you study the metro website closely and timely! In addition to this experience we ran into issues with sheets late at night. I asked for the bedding for the second bed upon arrival and was told that everything was in a box. Upon our long trip to Manhattan and back we discovered that there were no sheets provided and called Angus but nobody picked up the phone. Fortunately, we were able to talk to a neighbor who helped us out and knew which boat is Angus' . The neighbor went and talked with Angus and came back with an incomplete set of sheets where the fitted sheet also did not fit the pull out sofa and it took a while until that situation was resolved and we could go to bed. In this situation I would have expected a little more caring and concern. However, the beds are comfy and we slept well. The area is more industrial than the photos suggest and the marina has a flavor of a trailer plot on water... but we met nice people to chat with and again: it is very unique and for that I would recommend it especially if you come with your own car and stay in Brooklyn for your daytime entertainment. Check for extra bedding and a changed password for the WIFI (it was too weak to even send emails and disconnected all together the last day).
