Had a wonderful time at the cottage at Brad's place. It was clearly a place built out of love and had lots of sentimental and quirky touches that I really liked. I didn't get a chance to talk much with Brad personally but my mom did and she said he was really nice and was very open to suggestions for improving the house (just some small things here and there).

The location is situated in a place that is up and coming, so in a few years you know this is going to be the place to be! There are some great little restaurants around, but take note that the area is in the process of gentrification (which can be good or bad depending on your perspective). Currently there is a large apartment building being constructed across the street, so expect some construction for a few months (I imagine it will be completed by the summer or fall of 2016).

Overall though I highly recommend the cottage!
