Mermaid Cottage is even more charming than the pictures and description would suggest. Camille was a perfect host - friendly, helpful and pleasant. The Cottage was well stocked with organic and natural kitchen essentials, chemical free cleaning supplies and toiletries, and even several essential oils for varying uses. We did make the mistake of putting our dog's food bowl down right by the door, and that brought in some ants, but once we cleaned that up (and moved her bowl), we didn't have any more problems. Camille was planning to put down some natural insect deterrent after we left for the day, so that helped. If you're looking for an artistic, Bohemian vibe in your rental that captures the very spirit of the city you're visiting, look no further than Mermaid Cottage. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did.
