Acceuil prévenant et soigne. Un tres joli logement atypique, décoré avec soin et parfaitement dans le thème. Le bateau est a deux pas du tram pour visiter le centre ville. Un endroit calme et reposant qui le rend tres agréable.

Das Hausboot ist sehr schön. Von innen sehr gut und modern eingerichtet. Auf dem Deck müsste man den Boden etwas in Ordnung bringen. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück tip top. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.
