Martine had snacks and a bottle of wine and a lovely note waiting for us. Julia let us in early which was a bonus for a weary traveller. The house is perfect for a family with early- mid age children. The original 1918 period details in the home have been preserved which added character to the experience. The basement level (kitchen ,dining and full bath/ walk in glass enclosure shower and walk out to back garden seating area were a highlight. The bikes -4 working out of six were great to explore the city like a local. Just be mindful the ferry stops at 12midnight if you are planning to get home after that you need to take another ferry and very small footbridge- just ask the locals for directions- they are very helpful.
Getting a day pass for the gvb is great for traveling around the city by public transport.
Our stay at Martine's was memorable, especially with all four cats - who just want to be with you all the time- quite endearing if you are a cat enthusiast!!!
Beautiful period home with lovely personal decor- very large comfortable space to relax in.
