Gut: Sauberkeit
Lovely unique base in east central London
We just wrapped up nearly a week on the Dana and we were sad to leave. She's been a quirky and unforgettable cozy home during our stay.
As a family of four with two teens we had plenty of room, the bedrooms are on opposite ends of the boat so we plenty of privacy.
The conveniences are fully functional, the overall vibe is "lived in and causal"—not high end or luxe, which suited us. The kitchen has all you need kit wise but no sunrises—the Tesco Express nearby is decently stocked though and we made numerous meals. Laundry is easy to figure out but the dryer does take a good while, plan accordingly.
WiFi was fine with no issues; the TV looked nice but we didn't use it.
Tower Hill station is any easy walk and the location got us most everywhere we wanted in a half hour or 45 minutes. Of particular note is the proximity to the rapidly gentrifying south bank south across the Tower Bridge and the fabulously interesting east end, Brick Lane and Spitalfield Market are nearby. (Cannot speak highly enough of the Alternative London bike tour of street art, absolutely splendid.)
The only negative we could identify is that the harbor and boat are living boats with engines, there is a smell of fuel at times. It's in no way oppressive but if you are particularly sensitive please consult in case it's not a constant.
Nearby dining options are legion. The harbor is quiet and sheltered so our vague notion we might be woken by ship motors or horns was entirely unfounded.
Loved it.
