Jo was very friendly and welcoming. Stayed 2 nights. Excellent location. 2nd night had a very noisy family next door, kids banging doors, banging on walls & yelling. Unfortunately I guess that's what you may strike during school holidays. C'est la vie!
Other than that a very enjoyable stay

Great location across from the waterfront. Friendly owners. Quiet at night. Nice amenities provided. However it is well worn and the refrigerator was dirty. But I would stay there again.
