Sharon was quick to respond to our request to stay at her place. She was very friendly and helpful. We never actually met her as she has the house set up for self check in. The place was cute, you can tell she put a lot into fixing up this little old place. Everything was clean. Best part of the cottage was how close it was to downtown. Neighborhood was cute, lots of old houses, nice to walk in. A few disappointments: the view from the front of the cottage wasn't very nice. It's an odd empty fenced off area and there is graffiti along the wall. There was no seating out back and no firepit area as indicated by other guest reviews. Two-story House next door is very close and they can see right into the bathroom/house. I really wanted to like it, but I think it just wasn't for us. We ended up paying $225 a night when it was all said and done and that felt like too much for the experience. I would not stay here again
