The place was clean and bare essentials were provided. I never met my host, but called her to get the WIFI to work.There was nothing welcoming nor personal. I had trouble getting into the door with the keys provided in the mailbox as they were not marked I had to search through the locks. The stairs to go down are dangerous in the dark if you have luggage. The West Elm furniture has lost its charm after years of usage. Too highly priced. I will not recommend the 'cottage' because I think this owner is just in it for the $$ and should reach out to provide better, more welcoming service.
