Cozy, clean and quiet. At night, it didn't feel like you were in the city at all! Awesome. The cottage has a great layout, with a surprising amount of room. I can't wait to see how it looks once the upper floor is completed!! If you're travelling with pets, the yard is such a bonus, PLUS the huge park right across the street--our dogs got oodles of socializing, as did we! Easy to get around, being close to a major roadway too, such a bonus not having to wind your way through a community, if you have business elsewhere in the city.
