The houseboat was absolutely fantastic
Getting in early, our host Hedy was amazing and allowed us to drop-off our bags and change into some fresh clothes and texted us a couple hours later when the place was ready. She gave us a tour of the place and even left us a yummy bottle of cava to enjoy!
We booked a houseboat with the expectation that things might be a bit cramped, but were pleasantly surprised to find the boat to be much more spacious than we anticipated. The kitchen was beautiful. The bathroom was spacious with a simple, yet great shower(tall showerhead, good pressure, plenty of space). The bedroom was comfy and dark, perfect for sleeping in. And the living room was large with comfortable couches and a dining table. The best part was the patio space, off the backend of the boat. Many days, we would return to the boat in the afternoon to relax and recharge, sitting out in the incredible weather. We also finished most nights with a glass of wine outside.
The comfort of the space, the neighborhood, the vibe - all perfect. Having a week in the city, we were able to explore every neighborhood; which only made us love our area more and more.
With the boat located on a quiet canal, we felt such a rejuvenating sense of solitude. And still, it only ever took a 5-10 minute walk to get to a much more bustling area of town. So, we really got the best of both worlds!
