"We had a peaceful, lovely stay. Little Venice is an easy walk from Paddington Station, while also being a world in itself. The boat is cozy with a nice seating area near the entrance, a very workable kitchen, and room outside for two or three to enjoy drinks or a meal.

The host left wood for heat, but we didn't need it. The...

"Pros: Das Ambiente ist traumhaft. Für uns ist es klar, dass wir nächstes Mal wieder ein Hausboot mieten werden, wenn wir nach Hamburg kommen. Cons: Mit dem ÖV (spricht mit dem Bus ab Bahnhof) kamen wir nicht wirklich zurecht. Wir sind keine Stadtmenschen und sind uns überhaupt nicht gewohnt mit dem ÖV unterwegs zu sein. Für uns war es am Einfachsten mit der Regiobahn zu Fahren und dann zu Fuss zum Hausboot. Die 15-20 Minuten zu Fuss war für uns kein Problem."
