Very rare and exclusive experience near the Eiffel Tower

Great experience with amazing view. Centrally located and great host. Boat is older but that adds charm to the property. Some spaces are tight but it’s understandable your on a boat. Best part is sitting outside with wine watching the city pass you by! Very unique experience while in Paris.

Best view as the night falls. From midnight to 9 am there is no more river traffic - sleeping is very peaceful. Great central location - easy walk over bridge for any grocery or markets. Same side for the must see sights. Our host was responsive and easy check in and out.

We loved the boat, the location, and the views. My 2 female friends and I walked back earlier than the others one night After midnight one evening and were totally safe. It's a convenient location..a short walk to the Eiffel Tower and Champ-Elysses to the Arc D'triumphe. The cleanliness of the boat left a lot to be desired, however. We were only there 2 nights mostly to sleep, so we stuck it out. There is a strong mold smell that stayed in our clothes and we are now washing all of our clothes in Brussels on the 2nd part of our trip. Additionally, there was a layer of dust on most surfaces and the tables and benches had to be cleaned with disinfecting wipes that one of my friends happened to have. We would love to stay here again if the place goes through a good cleaning. We know this wasn't going to be a fancy place and it is a bit rustic: that would have been fine if it was cleaner, I'm sorry to say. I did reach out to the house prior to writing this review cause I don't like to write negative reviews without communicating first. I was told that the smell is a typical 'boat smell' and the dust is because Paris is dusty and after 2 days, the dust settles. I'll leave it at that.

The boat is located in the middle of everything. Air conditioning worked perfectly during the June heat! We had been traveling for 2 weeks and everyone slept the best on the boat. It is older but has everything you need and beds are comfortable. There was a lot of pedestrian and boat traffic around the boat, but you couldn't hear anything once you were inside. The view off the front of the boat is incredible. We spent a few nights there with wine and a charcuterie board. I will say that the ladders and stairs between floors could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Thank you for a memorable visit!

This property symbolizes what we all think Parisian life is about. This is not a five star hotel, but the view, and the central location is worth ten stars. If you need 5000 count Egyptian cotton linens and a marble bathroom the size of a small apartment then this is not the space for you. However, if you want to live like a normal mortal with a god-like view and gain the experience of a lifetime then make your reservation now. The boat is well appointed with functional furniture and outstanding AC units in every bedroom and living area. The shower is standard European style with half enclosure and handheld shower handle and the toilet is a self contained water closet which worked perfect for a family of four allowing plenty of space to get ready each morning. You must be able to climb ship “ladders” (steep stairs) but otherwise there are few limits to the space. It is a bit damp and maybe a little musty, but what do you expect when living on one of the world’s greatest waterways? As a father, when I booked, I was worried about security while sleeping, but not once I got to the boat. There is a super security system that allowed me to sleep without fear and was also simple enough for the non-tech savvy to figure out and use. Our host was very punctual with replies and provided clear checkin/checkout instructions as well as offered any support we might need during our stay. Would recommend this property for adventurous souls who want a once in a lifetime experienc.

Romantic definitely, but great for families as well. Amazing views of the Eiffel Tower on one end of the boat and the Alexander III Bridge on the other end. Located central to all of our chosen attractions and restaurants. Cozy and quiet during the day and enjoyed the many boats passing by at night. Already booked 4 more days to stay again. Unique and enjoyable. Glad we tried an alternative choice for lodging. If you book this boat, you will not be disappointed. What are you waiting for?

This is not your typical VRBO. The location and the nature of it being a boat is what absolutely sells this. It’s essential that you not have mobility problems because the ladders are steep, the hallways narrow and the boat rocks from time to time. However there is nothing else like this in Paris. You’ve got amazing views and just waking up to coffee on the deck over the Seine is unbelievable. The beds are very comfortable and the rocking stops at night so no worries there. However it is a lived in house … and the place is clean and well-appointed but still, it’s a boat. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for something completely different - would definitely stay again.

We had an absolutely lovely time. Host was amazing and helpful. The location can’t be beat and is so charming - a rare opportunity to experience life in a houseboat on the Seine. The barge was well-equipped and warm (we were there in February). Beds very comfortable. It was quiet and the boat rocked a little but not at night. We brought pasties back for breakfast and made coffee and enjoyed leisurely mornings. The location was close to museums and the Eiffel Tower. Stunning views!!! One of our party takes a morning jog and enjoyed running along the river. The boat is rustic and lived in and that contributed to the charm. Stairs are narrow and need to use caution. Overall fantastic experience.
