I loved the location. On a quiet street right in the canal. The room was clean and the patio was nice although it rained most of the time we were there.
Staying in a room in someone's home was a little akward, but for the most part it was fine and kind of a unique adventure.
My son and I each had a single twin bed. I thought it was fine, my son didn't think it was very comfortable.
The shower had great water pressure and hot water so that was great.
I asked for restaurant suggestions specifically where to get a good salad. Maria told me that all restaurants had salads. I was a little dissapointed in that but then her son ended up suggesting something and we went twice! So that was nice.
The breakfast Maria prepared for us every morning was great! Fresh croissants, coffee and juice. That was really a bonus we loved.
Maria's husband was incredibly sweet.i thought Maria herself was a bit harsh and not as friendly as I had hoped. I really wanted a host that would make suggestions on where to eat, etc. She didn't really see to want to do that but it wasn't that big of a deal. We managed to figure it out ok.
Although the room was nice and the breakfast was great, I did get turned off o. The last night. My poor son had a sinus infection the whole time and also the food wasn't really agreeing with us, so we did go through a good amount of toilet paper. I must add there were only 2 rolls to begin with for 3 nights. I did get one additional roll from the housekeeper, but we used that too. The last night we were totally out and so I had to ask Maria for another roll to make it through the night. She was very rude about it. She proceeded to ask me what I was doing with the toilet paper and she can't I again how we used so much. She angrily got me another roll. This was uncalled for. I felt really uncomfortable after that. She even brought it up the next morning. She was very bothered by the fact that we used 4 rolls of toilet paper in 4 days. I'm sorry but first of all we are from America and we don't have biday here. Second, I shouldn't have to explain how and why I'm using toilet paper. So that I was not happy with.
The day we left, it was pouring rain. Like pouring. Maria had a huge bin of umbrellas. We had all of our bags and a long trip ahead and I didn't want to be soaking wet all day. Maria was not there when we left but her daughter was. I kindly asked if I could buy one if the umbrellas so we wouldn't get soaked. She was very very rude. She said no. She sod go buy one at the shops.
So overall, the room was nice and breakfast and location great. This was our first ever air bnb stay and I really hoped for a friendly hostess. But I didn't really get a super friendly, welcomed vibe.
