Tim and Suzy's cottage shares a wall with the "big" house, but there are no sound or privacy issues. It is a delightful space, within easy walking distance of 12th with its restaurants and boutiques and a short Lyft ride to downtown. I was with a group of people - my daughter rented the main house - but the cottage gave me privacy and some alone time that I found very restful. Everything you could possibly want or need, including a full-size washer and dryer, are included. And, it is impeccably decorated to be both inviting and cozy. Cannot go wrong with this rental! Hope to return in the future.
