  What could be improved: Unfortunately, there was an issue with the heating system as it was not functioning properly during our stay.

• Janice from United Kingdom – 4 June 2023 (9/10)

  Convenient but quiet location. Flat is spacious and clean, with all necessities provided. Good restaurants, bakery and coffee nearby. Water bus at door step. 10-15 min walk to the bus stop and train station. Responsive host with great recommendation in the House Manual.
  
  What could be improved: There was drainage smell from the bathroom. It filled the whole flat when the windows were closed after a day out. Took time to ventilate the flat and get rid of the smell.

• Liisa from Estonia – 3 February 2023 (8/10)

  The location was really good. Everything we needed for cooking and eating was there. Beds were comfy and sheets were clean.
  
  What could be improved: There was that weird like egg smell at first, but I guess we got used to it or it disappeared. The floors were cold so I recommend bringing some slippers.

• Daniel from New Zealand – 29 March 2024 (8/10)

  Spacious apartment. Good heating. Nice shower with good pressure. Clean rooms and linens. Lots of plates. Easy to walk to from the train station. Good selection of pots and pans, oven had an oven tray. Dishwasher a bonus. Shutters block out all the light, which is great for sleeping.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom smelled. Could do with some bigger drinking glasses. Somewhere to hang wet jackets would be helpful.
