This place was perfect for my boyfriend, myself, and out best friend. The houseboat had all the conveniences you needed to have a good nights stay. There is a kitchen area, which we didn't really end up using, but if you wanted to cook a light meal you could. We stayed two nights and it was a good nights rest after spending the entire day in Manhattan. It is a bit of a strike to the subway station, but it is doable. The subway ride to downtown NYC isn't too bad either, and there are plenty of trains that go there. Angus was a great host and easy to get a hold of if you needed anything while you stayed there. This houseboat is definitely a great option if you are on a budget or if you just don't want to spend a lot on staying overnight while you visit NYC. We would definitely stay again and recommend it.
