We had a fantastic short stay in this lovely centrally located property.

Olaf was a helpful and attentive host with a perfect centrally located studio. The studio was clean, bright and well stocked, there were even a couple of bikes we could have used if we had wanted. Looking out on the canal the outside space was lovely, spacious and a great way to enjoy being outdoors in a private oasis. We had a great time and if we were heading back to Groningen we'd love to stay there again.
