Positives: responded quickly to all messages; check-in instructions made it easy to find the cottage and get the key; had close/free street parking; cottage looks as advertised with a full-size fridge and stove/oven; was quiet at night; mostly clean; owners/managers left us alone; felt private and safe once in the cottage.
Challenges: guest dogs are not allowed in the courtyard area, so we had to carry our small dog out to the street to allow him to relieve himself; it was very hot when we visited & the air conditioner was a loud/old/dusty window unit; the rafters had tons of cobwebs that were hanging over the bed & we had to clean them off; the sheets/towels were very fragrant from too much fabric softener; the eating area only accommodated 1 person; very minimal items in the kitchen; bathroom mirror is not above the sink/counter making it tough to get ready in the morning; some of the outlets did not work.
Overall: for the price, it was worth it for 1 night.
