Being our first time renting a canal boat, there was some apprehension before our arrival. The experience far exceeding our expectations, and we had a wonderful time. The only knock is the cleanliness of the bathroom showers. There was a bit of mold in both showers in the corners, and could use a good scrubbing or replacement of the grout.
