"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."

"We had a wonderful stay on this beautiful and cozy narrowboat. If you like a little bit of glamping and adventure combined with staying in Central London we would definitely recommend this lovely restored narrowboat. The boat is on a relatively quiet but vibrant location on Regent’s Canal and in the middle of the trendy area around Stone Coal Yard and Kings Cross station with beautiful shops, galleries and restaurants. We would also recommend to take a walk or bike along Regent’s canal to Camden...
