Unique Adventure
This was SO FUN! The owners were very responsive and helpful. You’ll definitely want to have prior understanding of what staying on an older boat is like. The size, the smells, the bathroom, the locks etc. We were worried about the heat at first but the a/c did cool things down. Overall it was very comfortable and we slept great! The location was perfect!

Staying on the Frida was an adventure. We knew this would be a completely different experience going in. Marcela, our host, was amazing and VERY attentive.
