We stayed at this property for four nights, personally we would not stay here again, however there are pros and cons to this property, it may or may not be for you.
Pros:
Helpful host – We were greeted by a young man who carried my bag up the stairs, it was heavy, so we were thankful for the help. The owner of the property was responsive and actively tried to sort issues that arose with the property.
Character property – The property had a lot of character, it was a typical Dutch loft apartment and was quite charming.
Location – The property is in a great, safe location, within walking distance of restaurants and attractions.
Cons:
The stairs (seriously) – It cannot be understated how steep and narrow the staircase is. My husband is a fit 34-year-old man and found getting our 23kg luggage into the room a real challenge. If you are anything other than young, fit and healthy I wouldn’t consider this property as the stairs will present a real hazard. If you just have a small bag and are not phased about the climb to the top, then this might not be a deal breaker for you.
Dodgy radiator – On our first night we discovered there was no hot water so proceeded to contact the host who phoned within a reasonable period to guide us with resetting the boiler. The next day, the plumber turned up with only ~10min notice to review the boiler which was inconvenient despite it only being brief. Following the plumbers visit, we were unable to turn the radiator down due to a fault with the boiler, this meant 27 degrees throughout the day/night despite keeping the windows open. This led to a very uncomfortable stay. The owner did manage to get the problem sorted on the last night of our stay and refunded us for one night. This might not be an issue going forward, but something to check with the host before booking.
Bed - The king bed was comfortable however had 2x separate single duvets as opposed to a king size duvet which we thought was less than ideal.
Price – The cost of this property is a little steep and I think you can probably find nicer accommodation for a similar price point.
Towels – We were provided with just one towel each for a four-night stay, not the end of the world, but also not ideal. However, upon request, additional towels were provided for our last day.
