Communication from the owner was good and it was wonderful to be right on a canal to sip instant coffee and watch the boats go by in the morning. But the space was small, dark, damp with no wifi and the bed felt tiny with the air conditioner installed right above our heads. There were no instructions for using the air conditioner. Luckily, it came on when I plugged it in. I feel this space could be redesigned with a larger bed. I'm sure it's a challenging space to maintain with water and flooding issues from the canal. If you have mobility issues, this is probably not the best choice as you must be able to lift your legs high enough to walk over a flood protection barrier to enter the apartment.
Overall, the neighborhood was wonderful and it proved a great base of operations. I even cooked in the kitchen for one dinner and it worked well.
