The villa was stunning and amazing view from the bottom of the garden over the canal. Lots of nice seating areas. Slight confusion on check in when we weren’t provide the code for the bedroom in the annex. The management company sorted this out after a few messages. They were quick to respond. Only issue we had was that we had paid for pool heating. Not only was it not heated , it was ice cold as if cold water was being pumped in . I had checked 2 week earlier that the pool heating would be switched on. . When I queried it on arrival, I was given various different responses from its broken and we have no intention of getting it fixed, to this villa does not have this facility. it was extremely disappointing as we had booked the villa for the heated pool. I was reimbursed for the cost of pool heating but would have preferred to be able to use the pool.

Looks lovely in the photos but the actual residence however is definitely lacking. It is in a lovely neighborhood that felt very safe and was easy to walk around. The unit was also well stocked with dishes, silverware, cookware etc. However, it did feel like a quick flip with poor attention to detail. Below are some of the things we noticed. When we walked in, the place had a very musty/sewer odor. We contacted the management company and they were very quick to respond and send out a plumber, but the odor remained for our stay. There was no toilet paper holder in the first bedroom, or stand for your items in the shower which means having to leave your personal items on the shower floor. A previous guest mentioned it, but the doors need some work. The front door only opens when it's pulled/pushed while entering the code or locking - which is why the app never worked. The toilet door in the second bedroom constantly hitting I thought it was going to shatter a couple of times, so just left it open. Even the doors to the backyard need to be addressed. We had issues with the hot water which the plumber was able to fix in the main house, but had warm water at best in the guest house. Also, the wifi in the guest house was quite spotty and rarely worked on devices. The blinds in the bedrooms and main areas are too short for the windows letting in a lot of morning light. Nice neighborhood and looks lovely, but for the nightly rate, you expect attention to detail
