Recent reviews in washington.
This was the best way to celebrate my birthday! My bestfriend and I had an amazing experience. We brought unopened snacks and byob on the boat. The ride was mostly smooth, bathroom and inside of the boat was clean. We played our own music on the speakers and had a great vibe with the captain and co captain. They were so nice and welcoming. You’ll have a great time. I’ll be booking again!
This was the perfect way to celebrate me and my friends’ graduation. Everything about this experience was so fun! Marque and his wife were so nice and attentive to whatever we needed. This boat was a great size for 12 ppl and all of us already said we are definitely doing this again! Thanks you for a great time!
I had an incredible experience on this yacht, thanks to Mike, the captain. He was an amazing host, going above and beyond to meet all my needs. From lighting my birthday cake to offering complimentary champagne, he truly made my 21st birthday special. The yacht itself was stunning, beautifully furnished, spacious, and with a fantastic atmosphere. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration, and I can't wait to return!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team! We booked his yacht to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday! Not only did Mike excellent customer service the day of but also went above and beyond by making contact prior to our trip as well and answering any questions ahead of time. My guests and I felt safe, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Here are a few highlights: 1. Provided full hours for the time booked despite the rain impacting our even. Mike allowed us to stay on the boat extra time to avoid the rain. 2. You’ll feel like royal treatment as the captain also served as our bartender for the night which helped me as the hosts to just be able to relax. 3. The ship equipment from the 2 flat screens, to the iPad that connects and allows you to play whatever music you like is really a plus. You’re able to set the mood for whatever the occasion and the extra features on the ship really makes it stand out from others.

Mexico City assembly OKs strongest rent control since the 1940s, limiting rises to inflation rate
The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The legislature of Mexico City approved the most ambitious rent control law since the 1940s Thursday, limiting rent increases to the rate of inflation in the previous year.
Rents in the vast city of 9 million inhabitants were essentially frozen in the 1940s, and remained so for decades on older buildings. Those controls were largely lifted in the 1990s.
The new law will also require landlords to register all rental agreements with the city. It was unclear whether the new law will allow landlords to charge more for improvements on their properties.
Mexico City, like many around the world, had seen complaints that rents were shooting up because of digital nomads and short-term rentals. But it appears that largely affected only a handful of touristy neighborhoods near the center of the sprawling metropolis .
“A lot of people with higher incomes are willing to pay more for housing, both by buying and renting it,” said legislator Martha Soledad Avila Ventura of the governing Morena party. “Moreover, short-term rentals on the internet have made it a question of profit, which has resulted in the expulsion of the traditional residents of the capital.”
In recent years, a shortage of land and saleable properties has sparked a cut-throat real estate market in which property prices increased well above the rate of inflation.
However, the new law doesn’t address the city’s real problem: a shortage of housing units. Legislators estimated there are about 2.7 million houses and apartments in the city, but it needs about 800,000 more.
The city has long depended on private developers to build housing, and it is unclear whether the new law could discourage investment in residential construction.
Rent control has a complex history in Mexico City. Under the 1940s fixed-rent laws, inflation quickly decimated rents in real terms, resulting in people paying pocket change for apartments. Landlords gradually abandoned the buildings, because the rental income was insufficient to pay for even routine maintenance.
Old rental laws also made it hard to evict tenants for non-payment and gave some tenants the right of first refusal if the units they lived in were put up for sale. That caused a distortion in rental markets, with many landlords preferring to rent to foreigners, who were viewed as less likely to invoke those protections.
In the 1950s and ’60s, the government built several large housing complexes in the city, though rarely for renting. Those apartments were almost always put up for sale to new buyers once completed.
The current city government has no real plans for constructing large numbers of its own rental units, nor does it have the money or construction know-how to do so.
Moreover, almost any new construction is out of reach for the poorest residents. Mexico’s minimum wage is equivalent to about $1.50 per hour and the median wage is only about $4 per hour.
President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, also of the Morena party, has said she hopes to implement a rent-to-buy program. Poorer tenants would pay a reduced-rate rent, and if they obtained a government housing loan, the rent they paid previously would be applied to the purchase price.
She also wants the federal housing agency, which is financed through payroll deductions funding individual accounts for each worker, to start building housing itself. At present, the agency acts largely as a financing agency, granting loans to acquire homes built by private developers.
