Nicole's place was fantastic and so was Nicole! The staircase leading to her home was super cool (and if you're so inspired, you can keep climbing to the top and check out the beautiful neighborhood from up there). The private space surrounding her house was simply amazing. It felt like I was in a child's storybook. Seriously. And being nestled in nature and surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees and the sounds of birds everyday was blissful. The cottage was cozy and very comfortable with all the amenities you need. Nicole was communicative, welcoming and available; she shared the gems of Silver Lake, of which there are plenty (definitely check out Little Pine restaurant). I loved my time there. It was truly a magical experience.
