The cottage is adorable, although there are a few amenities you should plan to live without; an iron, spare bath towels and fresh ground coffee being a few of them. The internet connection isn't terribly strong and you almost need to stay at the desk in order to stay online...which is a little challenging. All in all a beautiful, charming cottage in a great neighborhood.....close to everything; we went to Oakland, SF and Berkeley in one afternoon. We plan to stay here again.
