Beautifully designed cottage in an up-and-coming neighborhood with a few quirks.
We had a pleasant stay at Allison’s cottage, and really noticed how much care she put into her space. One note for others, we booked not fully realizing that this space is the host’s residence. It’s worth noting as it did mean the space had quite a few off-limits areas and the overall feel was like staying at a friend’s house rather than a vacation rental.
The house would likely not be a great fit for more than 3 people given it’s size, and definitely not a great fit for kids. Lots of sharp corners and breakable knick-knacks throughout the house.
I would say this rental is unique and offers a special appeal for those really drawn to interior design. It is not as good a fit if you are looking for something to really ‘live’ in for a week due to the off-limits storage, cluttered kitchen and amount of breakables. We were the latter, which is more to say this rental wasn’t ‘bad’ so much as not the right fit for our style of trip.
