Although the description does say "by the river", the photos could lead one to believe that you get a full view of the river but you can only see a section of the river from one bedroom. There is a small garden in the back but it was full of weeds. The bedrooms are decent but the downstairs sofa is not the cleanest as it had stains. Veronica is very responsive but we had some miscommunication about check-in time. The location is good with nearby train stations. The housekeeper who let us in (Andrew) was a delightful person and helped carry our bags to the 2nd floor. He also helped us with the wifi which can be weak on the ground floor.
