I loved this place! And Jeanne is wonderful. The small deck over the canal is very peaceful. It clean, comfy and quiet. The cottage is more like a studio, so there is no living room. It was perfect for me. I would recommend this cottage to a single person, a couple, or a small family with older children (maybe 8 and older), as the steep spiral staircase would be unsafe for a young child. All in all, I would highly recommend!
