Pretty bright house of 75m2 and pleasant off season

We spent a week in this lovely seaside village and had a pleasant stay in the area. The house is nicely located with satisfactory and simple furnishings.The owner advertises the house with amenities such as free usage of bicycles, which are basically in an unrideable state and not only because of their flat tires.

Again, we had a pleasant stay which was overshadowed by nasty interactions with the owner.

In short:

The owner was not very welcoming and inviting when we arrived at the premises. Rather than being welcomed as a guest, it seemed we were uninvited intruders. Secondly, the owner makes a business out of scamming visitors out of the hefty deposit that she charges by claiming the house has not been left in a tidy state. The funny thing is that her modus operandus was so very obvious from the moment we met that it actually did not come as a surprise.

We have rented over 40 homes all over the globe and have never had an experience like this. That said, there is bound to be a rotten apple in the basket someday, and this owner proves the point.
