3 - 3.5 totalBoat was very nice, a little cold but that's mostly down to the unusual cold snap we're in. There were plenty of heating options, but few negatives I'll list below.Hot Water - The host implied there was hot water available and gave instructions on how to fill a tub or take a shower. We tried several different faucets and the bath but were unable to get any hot water from any of the available sources. Not sure if there was some button or water heater we needed to activate, nothing was made clear.WIFI - The WIFI information sent out was inaccurate. Not a huge deal, not like we we're holding international conference calls. The TV's were all hooked up so we could receive shows just fine, we didn't spend that much time in the boat anyway.Sleeping accommodations - The primary bedroom was just a foam pad, one side of which was very worn down. My partner and I switched nights but both woke up fairly sore. There is a second bedroom which has a thicker slightly more comfortable pad, but it was also much more confined and much colder, and it rocked a bit more being in the front of the boat (yes I know...its a boat, it does that).Host unresponsive - I had a couple questions regarding some of the instructions, I also messaged about the WiFi being incorrect. I sent my first message the day before we arrived, and a final message the last day, the host failed to respond to any messages. Otherwise it was a lovely experience and stay, lots of places nearby to enjoy.
