The photos really don't do it justice! The moment we stepped into Kevin's place, it felt like home. Perfectly furnished, great kitchen, the world's comfiest couch, Netflix, the cutest outdoor entertaining area... we almost didn't want to leave the cottage!
Check in was so smooth, Kevin was there to meet us and gave us a quick tour before handing over the keys. He even ran back to his place to get laundry coins for us which was really nice! Milk was available for us to use in the fridge, which was a nice touch. And the outdoor area had a fire pit which wasn't necessarily practical in summer but we used it anyway.
The bed was comfortable and so was the couch, great for sleeping. Apple TV was a bit confusing to work, but that was just us being unfamiliar with it. Once we got it going, it was great. The only niggling thing was that the shower was a bit difficult to get the right temperature.
Out and about, the neighbourhood was really great. Quiet but close enough to the main road and buses making it really convenient to get around. A whole heap of shops and food outlets were just down the street (University Ave), just 5 minutes walk away. Getting to downtown was super easy by bus - the bus stop was 3 minutes walk away and buses came every 12 minutes.
Overall, a great place and a great host!
