The Albatross-Houseboat DT Knox

10/10 Excellent

"The boathouse is in a roof over marina that helped keep the heart down when sitting up on the deck. While many other boats, there wasn't many people coming and going. The inside was clean and efficient as one would expect s large boat to be. We only stayed one night but was very nice and within walking distance from downtown restaurants, etc"

"The apartment is small, but it was clean. It is downstairs, so be warned. You have to bring your suitcase down the stairs. The building is old and a little musty, but the apartment did not smell musty. The location was excellent and it's an easy walk to downtown or to the stadium. The parking was tight, but we did manage to fit our VW Taos in there, no problems."
