My husband and I spent 10 days over Thanksgiving in the Castro Cottage with the secret garden. the cottage is cozy, cute, comfortable and well maintained. The queen bed was as comfortable as our own bed! We felt at home with a full kitchen, dining area and living room with leather couch and chair. There was plenty of closet space to unpack for a long stay. The garden is overflowing with beauty! I had my morning coffee surrounded by colorful flowering plants, towering pines (arising from neighboring yards) and hummingbirds. The location was ideal. It was 2 blocks from our daughter and several blocks from all types of transportation. Restaurants, grocery stores and laundry were close. Matt responded immediately to our questions by email or text. He is a gracious host!
