My husband and I loved the River Arts cottage. It was just as described but felt more spacious than we had imagined. We loved the character and quirkiness (in a good way) of the cottage. It was down-to-earth and felt like it had an interesting history. But it also was very comfortable and had all the modern amenities (WiFi, a washer & dryer!). The neighborhood was great as well. Funky and artistic and filled with trees and bushes and flowers. We walked to downtown (20 minutes) both nights we were there and to the River Arts district (5-10 minutes). We didn't meet Alicia--I think she was being respectful of our privacy--but she left us cereal and coffee and milk, which was a nice touch. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We would definitely stay here again!
