The cottage is a well-kept fully-equipped living space adjacent to and above the host's free-standing garage, with kitchen, laundry, and bathroom on the first floor, and bedroom and living room on the second floor. It has everything you need, including a Keurig coffee machine, coffee pods, and filtered drinking water. The stairway connecting the upstairs and downstairs has a 90° turn, accomplished with triangular steps that are navigable only on the wider side. This may not be safe for toddlers or those with mobility problems. Separation of bedroom and bathroom by this stairway would not be convenient for those who need to use the bathroom frequently. I stayed three nights in the summer, and a portable air-conditioner was adequate for the upstairs under moderately high temperatures. The host provided bananas, pear, grapefruit, and candied pecans for snacks, which saved me a trip to the grocery store. The cottage suits my purposes well for my stay.
