Fijne overnachtingsplek voor vakantie en zakelijk
Pros:

Prettige rustige aankleding van het appartement, precies ingericht op de noden van een reiziger. Voldoende stopcontacten, een prettige relaxte stoel, een schoon keukentje met mogelijkheid om zelf koffie, thee of een tosti te maken, en een grote badkamer in serene sfeer.
Buiten het appartement is er een privé terras met tuin, mogelijkheid om je fiets of auto te parkeren en op te laden en binnen is er een grotere keuken met versnaperingen die tegen betaling genuttigd kunnen worden.
De eigenaresse is zeer vriendelijk, professioneel en welwillend (ook toen ik nog na sluiting van de receptie binnen kwam).
Een goede overnachting ook als je het fietserspad (fietsvariant Pieterpad) volgt.

Cons:

Jammer dat er geen overdekte mogelijkheid is om je fiets binnen te zetten. De fietsen kunnen wel aan de garage vastgezet worden (meest belangrijke, ze kunnen dus niet zomaar in een busje gezet worden) maar fijner zou het zijn als ze onderdak kondenstaan. Misschien nog een kleine af te sluiten overkapping van hout direct grenzend aan de garages plaatsen.

Verder denk ik dat de appartementen nieuw zijn: ik kon met mijn lengte (1.68 m) niet in de spiegel in de badkamer kijken. Die hangt erg hoog. Geen probleem voor mij (ik fietskampeer en ben gewend niet altijd een spiegel voorradig te hebben).

Verder sluiten de gordijnen niet helemaal aan. Deels lag dat aan de manier van ophangen (ik heb zelf even de roedes eraf gehaald en de gordijnen opnieuw opgehangen, het hangt nu dus goed) maar de gordijnen zijn dan nog een halve meter te kort.

Close to Venlo
Pros:

Check in was cumbersome due to sudden heavy rain showers. Room in the new building was a complete flat, nice. But the cleaning of the room was in question. We found a tissue in the bed and paper on the floor.... The shower cream container in the shower was empty! The table cloth had chocolate traces from previous use.
The breakfast served in the room was nice with lots of selections. Owner greeted us very friendly on check in.
