The cottage is exactly as described. Both the hosts and the residents of the front cottage were all away for the holidays, but we didn’t have any problem with access, and Peter texted back immediately with two questions I had. We chose not to rent a car and didn’t miss one at all, walking to the beach, bars, and restaurants, and taking the city bus a few times. The 923 goes downtown, and the 35 goes to Old Town Transit Center, from which you can connect to any other bus in the system.
