The little cottage was a dream! The location a short walk from the metro and best bakery in town. I was worried initially about the steep stairs, but my three year old quickly mastered climbing up and down them like a ladder and we had no issues (though at 1 years old we would have spent the whole time trying to keep her away from them, so know your kid). The yard was the star though - I didn't understand from the description that all the houses surrounding it open up to a completely enclosed (shared obviously), safe, fenced-in space with lush grass, sandbox, swings, and a hutch with two bunnies to visit. After long site-seeing excursions where our daughter had to constantly "stay near" and hold hands, having the "front yard" where she could run around with the neighbors' kids was amazing.
