No separate entrance, you access the room via hosts front door & livingroom. Free street parking- DONT lock your car doors (I know better and indeed my car had been gone thru overnight but at least no broken windows). Host has 2 dogs but they are very quiet. Would not recommend walking from cottage grove station to this address at night by yourself or with a child. Room we stayed in was super clean and had EVERYTHING you could possibly need- qtips, hair dryer, coffee/tea/ shampoo- everything! The room we had , had no locking door. And ideally the window pane above the door would be blocked for light...
