We never met Laura, the female host, but Michael was very helpful and hospitable. The neighborhood was suburban-like, very pretty and very safe.The cottage was meticulous, quaint and had everything a guest would need. The cottage was tucked away behind the hosts' home, by a swimming pool. It was so serene and relaxing. When we entered the guesthome, a bottle of wine, some other beverages and 4 chocolate chip cookies awaited us. The hosts also left a notebook with instructions and a list of restaurants with financial ratings and adresses.
