We really enjoyed our stay at Ellen"s cottage. We like the area a lot. It is secluded but yet not that far from downtown. We also enjoyed walking around the lake nearby. The apartement is few minutes from merman av, and about 10 minutes from downtown. ellen is a super host. Was really nice to work with her. Responded quickly to my questions and was there with her husband to greet us when we arrived. I was initially apprehensive of being in a lower level apartment because of noises from upstairs, but none of this happened. We hardly felt there was anyone above us. The inside is clean and very comfortable. Will definitely check them out again for our next visit .
