The Neighborhood:
Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Boston at Lewis Wharf, this boat is just steps away from the New England Aquarium, Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall, the North End, Boston Garden, a public ice skating rink, and countless other things to see and do.

Great location and unique experience. You are in the heart of the north shore. 10 minute walk to Hanover Street for Mikes pastures. 5 minutes to Paul Revere, 5 minutes to the long wharf and aquarium and 15 minute walk to the Boston Tea Party. You’ll be right across from Boston Sail Loft with the best clam chowder we’ve ever had.Location is the best, but set your expectations for a house boat. You have a great deck up top. You’ll need to walk a ways with your bags and if they are heavy with rollers, they won’t work through the rock paths to the dock. Bed was comfortable. They use a plastic cover on the bed, which makes a lot of sense, but if you run hot, you’ll want to sleep on a couple of blankets as it holds the heat. Again, my expectations were for sleeping on a boat in a dock, so I feel like I knew what to expect.The host was in contact and very clear on the rules and expectations. They made it a very easy experience. Thus 5 stars and would stay again!

There is only one couch that 2 people can sit on. Need better casual seating. 2nd bedroom is very small and better for one person. Toilet has a very bad odor. The boat stayed tilted to one side. The roof deck furniture was in rough shape.
