The property was well described. It was clean and comfortable. It is a small space, perfect for three or four people. The bathroom is small but functional. It’s close to the Old City. Quite walkable. The host was awesome and quick to respond to all communications.

We had a great time staying on the Albatross. It’s convenient to downtown and restaurants. An uber is a quick 5 min ride. The owner shares this: the walk to the boat is very very long with baggage. Park by the steakhouse. Use rolling carry on bags!The boat is older, but comfortable.

Very good communication w/ host --the boathouse was a unique & fun option. We enjoyed it & would stay again! parking is a little far especially w luggage. ants/insects were a concern that the host is working on.

My wife and I traveled from Maryland to visit our son going to school at Tennessee. We had a great stay on the houseboat. It is very closer to downtown and the university. We loved the 2 tiered deck. The boat was clean and very much met our needs for a weekend stay. The host was very nice and communicated well. We would stay again.

Overall, it was clean. Door knobs, pretty dirty and doors. It was hard to heat with one little bitty space heater. Can’t run heater and lots or coffee maker at the same time. We had to hang a blanket just to stay warm in the bedroom.
