We never met Michael but he was easy to contact by email. He provided details of where to pick up the keys for accessing the cottage. The cottage is in a great location – close to the Marina in one direction and a couple of blocks to Chestnut Street the other direction – approx. 8 minutes walk. Chestnut Street has a lot of bars/restaurants and the Marina Super is the local grocery store. For a large grocery shop the Marina Safeway is on the corner of Laguna and Marina approx. 10 minutes walk. The marina area is wonderful to walk around. The area felt really safe and walkable in a quiet neighbourhood. The cottage was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. It was really tastefully furnished and decorated with beautiful wood floors. The double bed was super comfortable (a little high for me) with beautiful linen. We did not cook there but the kitchen was well equipped with cooker, microwave, large fridge with freezer, dishwasher, etc. The laundry room with washer and dryer was shared even though we thought it was part of the cottage. The cottage has a beautiful outdoor terrace with sun loungers and BBQ. Cable TV was not available only very basic channels and the signal kept breaking down– we missed getting the global news. Wifi was good. We did not have a car and private parking was not available. We walked, took City Tours and UBER. This cottage was pricey but when on holidays it is nice to have a pleasant place.
