How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and had a neat décor. The location was very isolated, an insecure setting for a woman traveling alone. There was a recurring lock problem.

The owner was very nice, and the place was completely quiet. The house was well equipped, with attention to appliances, and the shared dining‑living area had no issues. Despite a technical problem (shower), I had a great stay by the canal, ideal for walking, cycling, etc., all for a very, very low price. I called Booking and was met with a stubborn AI robot that was useless.

Price. The property is located on a canal. The damp smell was a bit annoying.

When I arrived, I called the owner and she answered immediately, giving me all the details. I told her I was having trouble with the key, so I used the spare set to open the door. Later, while retrieving my stuff from the car, I closed the door behind me and the key got stuck. I called the owner again, but she didn’t understand the situation and told me to wait until it cooled down. Half an hour later it was still jammed, so I tried opening it several times. With no response from the owner, I sent her a message at 21:30. She replied that someone would come the next afternoon. I didn’t eat that evening because I didn’t want to leave the house, and the next morning I only had a cup of tea. Luck was against me. The previous guest’s sheets were still on the table in the room, so I had no sheets, an unprotected duvet, and no pillowcase, which made me question the mattress cover. It was a heatwave, it was hot, and there was nothing to keep mosquitoes away, so I slept badly after a 6‑hour drive. The next day I wanted coffee but couldn’t because I had to remove the grounds, and I didn’t know how. I ended up drinking tea in a mug that looked stained (coffee had settled in it). After drinking, I cleaned the mug and the stain disappeared. The trash had not been emptied. All these things piled up, so I left through the window.
