The location was definitely the BEST! We were very close food, tourist hot spots, a wonderful coffee shop (highly recommend it!) and of course those beautiful canals. The house felt generally secure although our room did not have a lock so I took valuables with me during the day. The wi-fi was painfully slow in the evenings and the room was sometimes chilly at night even though all the heaters were turned on. There is a standup shower in the bathroom where you have to stand on cold tiles, and without rubber slippers (which we didn't have), the floor can be freezing in the cooler months. As a host, Shawna was friendly and waited for us to arrive later in the evening. Everyone we met at the house was extremely friendly and it was very quiet at night! Great hospitality.
