I loved my stay at the cottage. Ericka has done a really great job decorating. The cottage is beautiful and modern and expertly designed. The furniture, the towels and linens, the bathroom and shower are all just awesome. It all feels very 5 star. The loft bed is definitely a climb- a bit awkward when tired in the middle of the night- but once in bed is so so comfy. There is also a couch/futon that could have been made up if I hadn't wanted to use the loft so that's an option if ladder isnt for you. The location/ neighborhood couldn't be more perfect, very very close walking distance to excellent shops, gourmet markets, restaurants, Trader Joes, and the Bart. I really loved it and felt very safe even when by myself. Parking was super easy, I always found a spot right in front, and was given a residential parking pass. The garden area around the cottage was beautiful and felt like a world away from street life. There was a mini fridge and keurig coffee maker (with great glass mugs and a selection of dishes) but there is no kitchen per se so you end up rinsing dishes in the bathroom. But for short stays it's no problem. I would only suggest you bring an eye mask since there are skylights and the light does shine through in the morning. Otherwise, an absolute real gem all around. Thanks Ericka!
