The location, yard, the fact that the cottage is free-standing , use of bicycles, wood floors, supplies in the kitchen, fast internet, the abundance of sunlight, were all fabulous. The main street a block away is a big thoroughfare; however the cottage has off-street parking and was quiet at night. It is conveniently located (15-20 minute walk) near some very hip streets with many coffee shops, restaurants and breweries. I felt very safe there staying as a single woman.
For one person the bed was very comfortable - might be a little soft for two.
A previous reviewer mentioned that the cottage was cold - I did use the space heaters and felt warm.
The cottage is an older building so there are pros and cons to this. It has a lot of character and is not flimsy, but on the down-side, some of the decor needs freshening-up as do the enamel in the kitchen sink and bathtub (no stopper). James is aware of this and said he is planning to take care of it. There is no tv except for chrome.
Overall this is a great place which just needs more consistent TLC - I would stay here again.
