Stayed at Stephanie's for about 3 nights while in town. Location is good. I had a car and had no problems parking on the street. Its too far to walk downtown, so a car came in very handy to get downtown where we spent most of our time.
The "cottage" is actually the garage. Half of the garage was converted into a sleeping space. It was a little damp in there as the whole place is concrete. I would recommend not staying here if you are staying for long periods as the bed it really just a fold out futon and is super uncomfortable. The bathroom has no walls or doors so if you are staying with someone its good to know. Didn't bother me but may bother some.
The space is uber small. It even puts NYC hotels to shame. It is however super cheap.
I accidentally packed the white slippers she provides, found out they are reusable and ended up having to ship them back instead of paying the 25$ that was requested.
Overall, this place is good for a very short stay, anything longer I would never book again. I have no idea what public transit is like around there, but it was really handy to have a car. Ideal for 1, ok for 2.
Would I stay again? Perhaps, would definitely look for something else first though
