This is a nicely decorated house in a great location. We enjoyed walking through the canals every day on our way to the beach. Overall, we were pretty happy with our stay.
What really separates good hosts from the rest is how they respond to problems. Unfortunately we had trouble with the furnace and then some damaged clothes from a cleaning supply spill. I attribute this to bad luck--and to Arlene's credit, she responded fairly quickly and worked to make it right to our satisfaction (thank you, Arlene!).
