The cottage was quiet and comfortable, and convenient for my needs. The main areas were clean, although the corners had dust bunnies that could use some TLC. I am extremely sensitive to odors, and Teri was kind enough to come into the space after I checked in to do an extra rinse of the shower as the smell from bleach cleaner was strong. I am also a big fan of dark sleeping places, so I think it would be helpful to have some block out drapes or less porch lights on at night. I enjoyed sitting outside on the patio into the late afternoon. Overall, this is a good value for the price.
