This little cottage was perfectly located between both of my Brooklyn kids. In the summer you could sit outside and have a small fire in the pit. It was a bit too cold for us to do that, maybe next time. I would have given this cute little (yes, little)cottage 5 stars except the mattress was sooooo squeaky! Every time my husband moved the bed squeaked...2 nights of not a great nights sleep. Other than that....it was perfect.
