We had such an enchanting weekend at Mulberry Cottage. The garden was better than the photos show, and we spent a great many hours in the shade, eating and talking, or just lounging in the hammock. It was in the 90s all weekend, yet we were really comfortable in the shady areas around the property. We spent some time geeking out trying to identify plants in the garden and keeping watch for intermittent appearances from the turtle and fish in the pond.
The cottage is lovely and very clean. There were lots of extra useful items in the kitchen and bathroom that came in handy. The bed was comfortable and we're glad the AC worked well since the dog we were traveling with doesn't tolerate heat. My partner is 6'4" and slept comfortably in this space. The bathroom is tiny, but had really good light and mirrors despite that (for makeup application, that is). The shower had good pressure and despite warnings to be frugal with the hot water, we had no issues with it runnning cold. We tend to overpack, but we made it work. The space was perfect for just the two of us for a few days.
The hosts, Gio and Jeny are sweet people and rolled out the red carpet for us. Since we were having such a nice time chatting in the garden the night we arrived, we all walked down for tortas at a killer restaurant just a few blocks away. (Los Carboncitos will have a place in my heart forever!)
The neighborhood is adorable, though lots of development and construction is happening all around. We were walking distance from some great restaurants, a 7eleven, a liquor store, etc. We felt safe walking around together at night. We were also happy to see lots of dispensary options in the area, if you're into that sort of thing. Overall, this visit was fantastic and we are actually really sad to be back home, gardenless and without a great torta place down the street. We highly recommend Mulberry Cottage to travelers!
