We had a great time on the boat. My friend was 80 and did great with navigating the stairs and steps to the bathroom and off and on the boat itself. It was so relaxing and serene.

I loved the boat but my friend had trouble getting in and out of the boat and couldn’t get into the bathtub. She has a bad knee. She went to a hotel instead. Point being if you have mobility problems this isn’t for you. But if you want a fun experience you’ll love the boat. I’m 76.

Lovely boat, very boho vibe to it. Comfortable bed. My biggest issue was the temperature. Granted, it was chilly in Sausalito (40-50), but the boat was very cold even with the heaters on.

The house was perfectly setup as the description stated. Very charming! The parking posed to be a bit of a problem. The neighbors in slip 8 didn’t get the memo about the quiet hours from 9p-9a because they were up well after 3am making lots of noise and turning lights on and off. Overall, we had a great stay!
