Here’s what our guests have to say:

  • Mary [January 2023]

    "We had a great weekend stay at Barbara’s place. It’s right in town, perfect location. Barbara made sure we had everything we needed - snacks, toiletries, 2 kinds of coffee and 2 kinds of coffee makers, cream, soft drinks, even a bottle of wine. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much!"

  • Kenneth [November 2022]

    “Very charming and cozy place. Convenient to shops and restaurants by foot. Excellent food available, especially if you like seafood! The view to the drawbridge, across the water, and the tall ships is everything you could want. We were blessed with summer like weather on a November weekend. We expect to return! Don't miss this one if it is available.”

  • Caroline [October 2022]

    “Wonderful little apartment with great decor. Amazing location, super close to downtown for food and shopping with great views! I had a cup of tea and watched the drawbridge from the couch. Small amenities like coffee bar and snacks were a special touch.”
