"Schönes gemütliches Hausboot in einer kleinen Marina. Einrichtung war alles da was man braucht - sogar WLAN und zwei Fernseher. Bett war frisch überzogen und Handtücher lagen ebenfalls bereit. Wasser wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt. Am Tag der Anreise habe ich morgens die Nachricht bekommen mit Adresse und einem Schlüsselcode. Völlig unkompliziert. Eigentlich ruhig gelegen - aber gegenüber der Marina geht eine Landstraße vorbei , ab und zu hört man mal ein Auto. Alles in allem eine coole...

"Indeed a unique experience. Check in was simple. The apartment was clean and tidy, with all the basics that you might need for a short stay. The host company was very friendly and responsive (online). It got quite warm inside due to the warm, sunny weather. Fans were provided, but I imagine that it would be challenging to stay cool in the summer. Overall, would happily visit again."
