Orfeo
The houseboat Orfeo is a fully equipped 120 m2 boat. The boat was originally build in 1909 but has been completely renovated. It is located at 10 minutes walk from the city center and close to public transports and shops. From the terrace you can enjoy the idillic view on the water. One of the two rooms can be rented with a private bathroom. Optionally two extra guests can sleep on a bed in the living room. The kitchen is shared, but you can always contact me and ask if there are other guests.
