Our stay at Cheapestead Cottage was relaxing and comfortable. First of all, the neighborhood is adorable, and there's plenty to do in easy walking distance. We walked all the way downtown a couple of times, and yes, you'll pass through some slightly less adorable spots, but we never felt unsafe ever. Uber rides never cost more than 10 bucks pretty much anywhere we went to get back home, but I would suggest renting a car if you want to go adventure further out in the city. We stayed at this spot due to its really reasonable pricing and the positive reviews, and we weren't disappointed. Sure, you're not really in the thick of things, and yes, the bathroom is not great. There's no sink in it, and the shower is a little awkward, but the room was cozy and warm, and Carolyn was a great host. Easy to communicate with and flexible on both check-in and check-out. Plus, her dog Otis was very friendly and loved being patted in the morning. We had a very pleasant and wonderful stay.
