I just spent a great three weeks in Ed's cottage. The cottage is newly set up and truly has everything you need - super cute decor and they have thought of all sorts of details...beautiful new towels and linens, plenty of dishes and cups, great big wine glasses, and well-thought information on the area... It's small - there's no way around that - but they have done a lot to make the place comfortable and well-equipped.

It was a bonus to get to know Ed as well as some of the other neighbors a bit during the time there - he's great to deal with and was proactive about making sure i had everything I needed without being invasive.

I'd worried a bit about the street parking situation, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not a problem - i usually could find parking on my block, and never had to park more than one block away. Also, I enjoyed the view into beach life (it's right near the dog beach) and the flow of people on their way to beachside fun, and was very pleased that overall it was quiet and relaxing (no issues with noise). Someone else mentioned that the cottage is in the flight path. I heard planes occasionally, but it was never annoying - and I notice such things because I am on the phone a lot for work.

Overall, the cottage, location and host were all wonderful, and I had a great experience! I highly recommend it!!
