I loved the place. The cottage is about the size of a medium sized hotel room, but well laid out with full kitchen, very small bathroom, and bedroom. It was very comfortable as well supplied with most things anyone would need. The bed seemed to be some memory foam, firm but comfortable. The shower would probably be a little small for a larger person, but for me (5/7", 165 lbs) was a little tight, but not a problem. The best thing about it was the outdoor garden area. It was great to be able to walk outside the door and have a nice sized, well treed and planted yard to hang out in. Too bad I wasn't there in the summer for the drum circles. I only had a short conversation with both Jennifer and Giovanni, but could tell they were down to earth, nice people. They were very friendly and responsive. The location and neighborhood was great also. Not too far (a quick bus ride or 20 minute walk) to downtown, in a quiet residential neighborhood with a few bars and restaurants within a few blocks, and many more within 10 blocks. I don't think I could have picked a better place. Now if they could only control the weather :-) Truthfully, I'm the type who is very low maintenance, and don't need a lot, so I can't judge from the point of view of someone who is high maintenance. Compared to the prices of hotel rooms in the area, this was a steal. The two cats were very friendly too. Their cat Seven even came and visited one evening.
