We booked this cottage last minute over the 4th of July. The cottage itself was lovely. Very clean, bright, and plenty of space for the two of us. It comes with a portable AC, which worked perfectly to keep us cool. Check-in was a breeze with a lockbox on the gate, so we could come/go as we wished without bothering the hosts. The one thing we were not aware of was that the listing is actually in an alley. You drive down the alley to the gate, then pull your car in and close the gate behind you. Def felt secure with the gate- kept the people walking down the alley out. Overall, good experience.
