We give Kelly the benefit of offering immediately to cancel the reservation. After that Darling Cottage is in a very toney neighborhood, but it is NOT. First the lock was tricky. No sooner than we got in the door than an electrician showed up to replace a light fixture in the musty bathroom; the sofa and the rugs were soaking wet; the spiral staircase is a fire hazard and dangerous to negotiate in the night. When we came back from dinner at 8:00 there was a skunk trolling in the alley with his tail raised. Fortunately by then we had already made other arrangements.
