I'm certain the hosts are wonderful and would do anything to make a stay here welcoming! It has everything one would need in amenities and they were quick to respond to a short-notice reservation. When I read the reviews I got to imagining..private, cottage, deck, etc..and upon arriving it was in an old un-updated single story neighborhood with steel security doors (an exterior picture of the home would help in listing).
The apartment (not cottage) is very cute but is only visually private, not audibly, in that you can hear conversations & sound through what must be a very thin uninsulated wall? I found myself not wanting to turn on the tv or talk on phone much, as it felt the sound traveled so well throughout.
The view is pretty out the bedrm window but didn't try to access the tiny deck. I appreciated how clean the bath & kitchen was upon arrival.
