The home is filled with character and a lovely retreat! It's relatively quiet and separate from the hustle and bustle of the canals. It has amazing light and very warm and toasty when chilly outside. My husband loved the well appointed kitchen that had everything we needed to cook a good meal. The place was fantastic for our kids to explore in, we enjoyed playing a few CDs and also the have great taste in movies! I would highly recommend you stay here - our interactions with the host made everything perfect.
