This was our first airBnB experience and overall it was a good one. The location is fantastic. It's set in a great neighborhood and we always felt safe and secure there. It's a five minute walk from an area with local shops and restaurants. The cottage was clean when we arrived and the bed was comfy. It was also very nice having our own coffee maker with a grinder - you just need to provide your own coffee. Parking was never an issue. The latest we got back one night was about 1030 or so, and we still didn't have an issue parking close to the house. I felt like for what we got with this cottage, we saved a ton of money by staying here as opposed to a hotel in the same area. Dana is very "hands-off" if you want her to be which was great for us. She felt more like a hotel manager who was readily available by email or phone if we needed her but she stayed out of the way otherwise.

I only have one complaint that I think potential guests should know about. We weren't warned about the guy who takes his dogs out through the backyard at around 10 or 11 PM and he comes right by the front door of the cottage. The main issue with this is that the "privacy" curtain hanging over the front door window allows anyone outside to see into the whole cottage at night.

Obviously that complaint is small and overall we were very happy with our experience.
