Cottage is as described. Host is responsive, clear, and friendly. Great location from which to take walks and get into shape. The view from the observation deck is unbelievable. This is a freestanding building, with no communicating walls, and no one is above or beneath you. That there is a small, one-truck, fire-station directly across the street was a non-issue. The one time in a week that the had a night call, they waited until they were half-a-block away before turning on the siren. And if after wrestling your way up the hill, you have a cardiac episode, there's immediate help right across the small street. St. Francis hospital is very near. But seriously, if you want a quiet, well-located, fully-equipped location, this is it.
