"Our girls group enjoyed staying on this house boat. The marina is well situated to visit nearby attractions. Also, we had no trouble scheduling an Uber to pick us up from this location. The marina was safe as entry and exit was accomplished with a key fob. Also, we found the setting to be very peaceful and serene after a busy day in the city. "
