This is such a unique property and I ended up just really loving it. I originally booked a two night stay but extended it to four, after discovering that luckily my room was available for the next nights. (Each room is unique. I was in the Cartographer Room, with its map theme and decorations. To be sure, there are things to be aware of: I am 6 ft 1, probably the maximum height for my room, as the beams from the 17th century ceiling are low (there were two places I needed to duck under). The ancient stairway is super narrow and a bit claustrophic. There is an elevator, but it is coffin-sized. I put my luggage in it, but there was no way I was getting in it myself. All that said, the opportunity to stay in such a historic building with amazing canal views and unique style and decor just made it a joy to stay here. My room had a bear claw tub in a small elevated area -- very relaxing. The breakfast they serve (included with room price) is ample and tasty. You can enjoy it in room or in a little eating area overlooking the canal. I really loved staying at the Craftsman. It is truly a unique and cozy experience.
