Very nice houseboat and good location, nearby a small café for a decent cup of coffee in the morning, close to a beautiful market, and a short walk away from the main Streets. The boat has enough space, Four adults sharing. Communication with the host was very good and friendly, we felt good taken care of during our stay. The host also gave us tip about the market nearby, and it was a great experience (and a new dress) We are very pleased about our houseboat choice Azara and would recommend for anyone with a houseboat Dream!

What a little gem of a property. Can’t say I loved the bedroom layout but what can you do. I would stay there again.

This was the absolute perfect home for the week. I cannot rave enough about all of it, especially the location. I hope to be back many, many times.

Second time staying on a houseboat in the canal ring. First time was fabulous but that boat is no longer available so we tried this one. Location is great and it was still fun to feel in the mix of things however I agree as others have recently said that this is not to be considered Luxury. It is spacious, but the furnishings can best be described as "Bare Minimum". An area rug and inexpensive lamp/artwork would go a long way toward providing some needed warmth and charm to the living area. The kitchen is good, bath OK, amenities subpar--just bring your own. Important to know that 2nd bedroom is accessible only through the 1st, and the ceiling height is about 48" so I would say it's just for the Young and Game, or for kids. And navigating the outdoor space can be wholly treacherous with kids so let's leave it at Y&G. Again, a houseboat is a super fun experience and this is a great location, but ultimately overpriced for what it is. If you want Luxury, do as we did on our last night and stay @ The Pulitzer! Final Note--I was initially thrown by having to pay through email link and not VRBO but it turned out fine. We ARE still waiting on the return of our security deposit one month later however.....
