• Travelwithteens from United Kingdom – 27 February 2024 (7/10)

  Unique nice decor. s oft bedding, on one smaller canal
  
  What could be improved: The process of agreeing to get keys a meet the host was a mess. Also description made me understand we would get a proper apartment but it was three separate bedrooms with no kitchen or living area so we stuck to one bedroom – so it was in the end more expensive than the 5 star hotels we stayed on this trip. B7C no kitchen couldn't heat room or food, had no utensils to eat takeaway. Was also very cold on arrival and host brought extra heater which helped in the end.
