What a gorgeous little place! Everything was fantastic, and it has everything you need (and more). Private, peaceful, relaxing, and very tastefully decorated cottage in a safe, upscale neighborhood. I loved it!
Some things to note if you will be staying here (and I hope you will!):
- Street parking is free and very easy! It can be hard to find the place in the dark of night, and the street is narrow, so be aware of these things. Also, watch your step as you walk up the side path (grass and then stepping stones) to the cottage.
- This place is in the airport flight path, so you will often hear planes overhead, from about 6:30 am to around 10:00 (?) pm. But you get used to it quickly, it’s not very disruptive, and I was able to sleep right through. Bring ear plugs if this may be a concern for you.
- The bed is firm and took time for me to get used to, but on night two I slept just fine.
- A traditional coffee maker is provided, along with ground coffee,
filters, and assorted sweeteners.
- I never saw any of the host family or their dog (although I kept hoping I would see him!), so it does feel like you’re in your own private home (even a private patio directly outside your back door). But if you do need anything, Alex can be easily reached.
I wholeheartedly recommend Alex’s cottage, and I will absolutely stay here again if I ever need to visit the area. Thank you, Alex, for opening your sweet cottage!
