Everything was perfect!
I see why Patricia is a super host. She genuinely cares about her property and your stay at the cottage. You will have everything you could ever need at her place- bring your own toothpaste ofcourse haha (hygiene purpose). It was extremely clean and meticulously decorated and thought out with your comfort in mind. There were plentiful parking spaces. You are nearby everything- retaurants, downtown, stores, etc.
The best thing about Patricia is her ability to save you when something goes wrong LOL (Something always seem to go terribly wrong when I plan a trip):
1. She was able to accommodate an earlier check-in time before we arrived but we ended up arriving late anyways.
2. My genius boyfriend, out of habit, locked the inside wooden door (requires a key, so don't lock it if you don't have the key lol) as we were heading out so I called her immediately and luckily Patricia was able to unlock it while we were gone.
3. We realized that we left a few clothing items in the closet as we were on our way home and Patricia, being the gracious and hospitable host that she is, worked with me in shipping my items safely back to me.
Overall, if you are looking for a great place to stay in SD at a reasonable price with a great host- just book this cottage (also do a better job at planning your stay than I did)! You will not regret it! Thanks Patricia!
