Got a nail pinch on my foot that was coming out from a broken patch of carpet. Also, the grounds keeper decided it was a great idea to start working on our small front garden early am on Saturday, without telling anybody he was coming in. He was literally standing outside the room glass doors looking in. I had to close all curtains in a hurry. The checkout at 10am on a Sunday is excessive. I can understand early checkouts for massive tourist destinations like Venice or whatever, but not for a small sleepy town where most people come in for the weekend. Doubt there was a lot people lining up to check in on a Sunday in May.

Lovely property with high ceilings and a great view over the waterway. I would gladly stay here again. Plus, it comes with a garage so you don’t need to use the outdoor car park if you don’t want to!

Safe, quiet. Need to clean the daddy leg spiders in the entrance hallway and maybe spice it up with a picture so you feel welcome when you come to the apartment each time. When we first came in it would have been nice if the Heatpump was on at a comfortable temperature. Shower is unusually small. Overall good but for the money I would still search around for better luxury unless you love the boats out look. Space wise the room is very good.

We got accused of filleting and scaling fish in the apartment, and having left fish scale all over the kitchen. I have requested some photos of the so called fish scale, none were provided. We purchased salmon fillets and pizza base from the local store, and cooked a salmon pizza. An apartment with a full kitchen should allow guests to cook pizzas in the oven. If you plan on doing any style of cooking best book elsewhere.
